Automatically identifies temp files, build artifacts, node_modules, caches, and other space hogs.
AI analyzes each file pattern and provides safety ratings so you know exactly what's safe to delete.
Chat with AI to understand your files. Ask questions like "What are these .cache files?"

Select patterns and move them to Trash. Files are never permanently deleted, so you can always recover.
