CLUSTER MACOS-CLEANS-DATA · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-02
macOS AI cleanup utilities
The cluster consists of native macOS tools that clean up AI-generated files and data, using AI models to rate what is safe to delete and moving selected items to Trash for user review. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—members either predate the index or lack source dates. Among tracked members, TrashIT-MacOS leads on traction with 9 stars, followed by project-sweep with 1 star and MacClean with 0 stars.
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.
