CLUSTER DISK-USAGE-MACOS · 49 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-14
macOS disk cleanup apps
This cluster consists of native macOS utilities that scan disks for caches, junk files, logs, and large items, then delete or move them to Trash, often with user confirmation. Some also handle app uninstallation, duplicates, and startup items. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from – only two pre-index entries exist. On traction, BinaryExplorer leads with 34 stars, followed by DiskProbe (8) and AmuxAICleanRelease (7).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
