Purge

Is your Mac running low on disk space? Over time, application caches, temporary files, and system junk quietly build up, eating away at your hard drive.

Purge is a lightweight, open-source storage cleaner designed to clean up your Mac safely and transparently.

Unlike traditional system utilities that operate like black boxes, Purge gives you total control and peace of mind. Every file identified for cleanup is moved directly to your trash never permanently deleted, so you can inspect or recover anything with a single click.

Key Features

• Smart Junk Detection: Quickly scans and identifies temporary caches, logs, and unnecessary leftover files clogging up your storage.
• Trash-First Safety: Files are sent to your Mac’s Trash bin rather than permanently erased. Changed your mind? Your files are still sitting right there.
• Targeted Scanning: Purge only touches file paths specifically recognized as system/app caches and temporary storage. Your personal documents, photos, and project files remain completely untouched.
• 100% Open Source: Built with full transparency. Every line of code is open to the public, auditable, and backed by the open-source community.
• Lightweight & Fast: Starts up instantly with zero background bloat, complex menus, or intrusive notifications.

A tool that touches your files should earn your trust:

• Fully Auditable: MIT-licensed and hosted on GitHub.
• Zero Risky Deletions: You are always in control of when the Trash is emptied.
• No Hidden Subscriptions: Completely free to use.
