CleanPulse
Mac cleaner for developers
Scan and clear regenerable clutter and large files on your Mac — local-first, account-gated, built with Tauri.
- Local scans — paths are not inventoried in the cloud
- macOS confirmation sheet before deletes
- Curl / Homebrew install with signed releases
- Account-gated access for the promo stage
CleanPulse helps developers reclaim disk space without guessing. It finds regenerable clutter like node_modules and package caches, plus bulky files matched by filters, then lets you confirm what actually goes.
Paths stay on the Mac. The desktop app is a Tauri + Rust scanner with a React UI; the marketing site and install flow run on Next.js with Clerk auth.
Problem
Dev machines fill up with regenerable junk and large artifacts. Generic cleaners are blunt; manual cleanup is slow and easy to get wrong.
Approach
CleanPulse categorizes regenerable clutter and large-file matches, shows size first, and keeps the final delete under macOS approval. The web site handles signup, install commands, and release discovery.
Stack
