SnapPoint: The "LazyVim" for your OS. Find ghosts & align your dev environment.

Hey PH! 👋

I’ve been a developer for years, and every time I look at my /usr/local/bin, I get a little bit of anxiety.

I’ve got three versions of Python, a random node binary I probably curled in 2022, and GBs of cache bloat from package managers I don't even use anymore. My system felt out of alignment.

I wanted a tool that worked like LazyVim interactive, fast, and powerful but for the entire OS. So I started SnapPoint.

Today, I'm open-sourcing the vision. The repo is live with the roadmap, and I’m currently building out the core Go engine. SnapPoint will:

  • 🔍 Hunt Ghosts: Identify binaries that no package manager claims.

  • ⚖️ Align your PATH: Resolve version conflicts between Brew, NVM, Pip, etc.

  • 🧹 Deep Clean: Wipe hidden ~/.config and ~/.cache debris left behind after uninstalls.

It's Day 1. The repo is currently in its 'Architecture' phase (mostly a README and a dream).

I’d love for you to star the repo, check out the roadmap, and tell me: What’s the one 'ghost' binary you can never seem to get rid of?

Built with ☕ and frustration, @alexcloudstar
