Later

Wanted, not scheduled yet. Tell us what you would use most.

  • Docker images and volumes

    The other place old projects hide gigabytes.

  • Editor recents

    Use VS Code, Cursor, Xcode and Android Studio recent projects as one more sign of life.

  • More ecosystems

    .terraform, .tox, .expo, .angular cache, Elixir _build and deps, Haskell .stack-work, zig-cache.

  • Scheduled Clean All Safe

    Sweep Safe projects automatically on a schedule you choose, with a summary afterwards.

Not planned

Things we have decided not to build, and why.

  • A Mac App Store version

    The App Store sandbox can't walk your project folders or ask git what it tracks, so Sweep is sold directly.

  • A subscription

    Sweep is a one-time purchase, and version 1 updates are included.

  • Accounts or cloud sync

    Sweep runs entirely on your Mac. Nothing to sign up for, and scans never leave it.

  • Touching your source

    Sweep only removes folders your tools can recreate, never code, lockfiles, .env files or .git.
