Description

Dusty is an AI-powered macOS storage cleaner engineered for software developers and technical professionals. Standard cleaners focus only on system caches, leaving massive developer bloat untouched. Dusty identifies and calculates space from nested node_modules folders, Xcode DerivedData, Composer vendor directories, Docker caches, and orphaned local WhatsApp media. Key Highlights: - Plain-English AI Explanations: Powered by Gemini AI to explain what each folder contains and whether it is safe or rebuildable. - Developer-First Scanning: Locates heavy build artifacts without breaking active repositories. - Trash-First Safety: Items move directly to macOS Trash with protected databases and source code locked down by default. - One-Time Ownership: Free trial with perpetual lifetime ownership starting at $9.99 (no monthly subscriptions). Features: - AI-Powered Folder Explanations (Gemini AI) - Developer Dependency & Build Cache Cleaner (node_modules, Xcode DerivedData) - WhatsApp Desktop Media Cleaner - Trash-First Non-Destructive Deletion Architecture - Native Swift & SwiftUI Performance on Apple Silicon - Homebrew Installation Support (brew install theappcenter/tap/dusty)

Description

Latent is a disk cleanup and storage analysis application specifically designed for developers and individuals utilizing local AI tools on macOS. It organizes storage by attributing it to the specific applications and tools that generated it, encompassing elements like model files, build artifacts from development, package caches, Docker data, and application files, while categorizing these items as either recoverable, user-controlled, or protected. Users have the ability to examine disk space by its owner, analyze memory usage, uninstall applications, and locate nearly identical AI-generated images and videos based on similarity. All cleanup actions are logged for potential recovery, allowing file deletions to be restored from the Trash, alongside providing guidance for items managed by external applications. Furthermore, an optional integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables compatible assistants to analyze scans and suggest cleanup actions, which must be confirmed by the user before implementation. Latent operates locally on macOS 14 or newer, where scanning can be done free of charge, but a license is necessary for file removal, ensuring users maintain control over their data management processes. This app thus empowers users to optimize their storage efficiently while preserving the ability to recover important files if needed.
