This started as a tool for me, not a product.
I spin up a lot of projects - even more now that AI makes it cheap to start something new every week - and my Mac was always out of space: dead node_modules folders, build caches, model downloads, Xcode derived data. The cleaners I tried were all the same: bloated with features I'd never touch, locked behind a subscription, or nagging me in the background about "threats." I just wanted to see what was eating my disk and clear the safe stuff without thinking about it.
So I built a lightweight one for myself. It slowly became Freshist: scan for free, see everything explained in plain English, and clean to the Trash - never a permanent wipe. It also uninstalls apps with their leftovers, maps what's eating your disk, and shows live vitals down to fan control.
No tracking, no analytics, no account - your files never leave your Mac. One-time $9 launch price, no subscription.
One thing I'd really like to know: what should a Mac cleaner never do? Half the "features" I saw in other apps are the exact reason I built this one.
Ask me anything - I'll be here all day.
