Diskloom

Untangle your Mac's
developer storage.

node_modules, Xcode DerivedData, Docker images — your tools quietly hoard gigabytes. Diskloom finds what's safe to reclaim and moves it to Trash. Nothing is ever permanently deleted.

Diskloom overview showing 8.1 GB safe to reclaim, grouped by category

Built for developers who don't trust cleaners

Diskloom never guesses. Every item explains what it is, why it's removable, and how it comes back.

Safe to regenerate

Only regeneratable data is preselected

node_modules reinstall with your package manager. DerivedData rebuilds on the next Xcode build. Archives that can't be regenerated are never auto-selected.

Trash, not delete

Everything goes to Trash

Nothing is permanently deleted — restore any item from Trash if you change your mind. A local reclaim history records every operation.

Local-first

No accounts, no uploads

Diskloom works entirely on your Mac. It only scans folders you choose plus standard Xcode locations — never your whole disk behind your back.

Questions

Is it safe? What if I need those files back?

Diskloom only moves items to Trash — never permanent deletion. Regeneratable data (node_modules, build caches) comes back automatically the next time you install or build. Xcode Archives, which can't be regenerated, are shown for awareness but never selected or removed.

What exactly does it scan?

JavaScript node_modules in project folders you choose, Xcode DerivedData and Archives in their standard locations, and Docker usage as reported by Docker itself. It never scans your whole disk or home folder on its own.

How does the license work?

After purchase you get a license key by email. Paste it into Diskloom's Settings to unlock reclaiming on up to 3 Macs. Scanning is free without a license.

Does Diskloom send any data anywhere?

No. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no uploads. The only network request is validating your license key with Polar.

What are the system requirements?

macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, Apple Silicon and Intel.
