From “Mac is full” to “what is actually filling it?”

After launching Room Service, one thing became very clear:

This isn’t just a “developer problem” anymore.

AI tools, local models, game dev workflows, code editors…

they’re all silently filling up disk space in ways people don’t fully understand.

So instead of just improving cleanup, I started focusing on visibility first.

Here’s what I’ve been shipping recently:

• Added an AI Storage category (shoutout to Takahito Yoneda for the idea 🙌)

  (this one was long overdue tbh)

  Detects local models and ML caches from tools like Ollama, Hugging Face, Whisper, PyTorch

• Support for custom AI storage paths

  so non-standard setups don’t get missed

• 30–40% faster scans

  especially noticeable on heavier setups

• A dedicated Code Editors category

  VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Android Studio, etc.

• Reworked the Duplicate Finder

  safer review flow, better comparisons, more control

• Orphaned startup item detection

  finds background stuff from apps you’ve already deleted

• General cleanup flow improvements

  better grouping, clearer risk signals, more direct actions

The goal is still the same:

Not to build another cleaner,

but to help you understand your system before you clean it.

If you’re using AI tools or heavier dev setups,

curious if you’re running into the same thing.
