Why SymbolSweep

Safe

Deletes go to Trash. Confirms before anything permanent.

The cache Apple forgets

macOS’s symbolication cache can grow past 80 GB unnoticed and fill your disk. SymbolSweep clears it automatically, in the background.

Built for developers

Knows Rust targets, DerivedData, Homebrew caches. Knows which are safe, which cost a rebuild, and which need your call.

Accurate

Real disk numbers, measured on your Mac.

How it works

  1. Sits in your menu bar and watches for caches that balloon.
  2. Reclaims safe caches in one click, or lets you review artifacts tier by tier.
  3. Clears the macOS symbolication cache automatically, before it fills your disk.

Why we built it

SymbolSweep exists because a single runaway macOS cache can quietly fill a disk and take a Mac down. We built it to catch that before it happens.

Runs entirely on your Mac. No account, no telemetry. It only goes online to activate your license and check for updates.
