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.

Dev-native

Knows Rust targets, DerivedData, Homebrew caches. What’s safe, what costs a rebuild, what needs your call.

Accurate

Real disk numbers, always. Measured, not estimated.

How it works

  1. Watches the caches that balloon—quietly, from your menu bar.
  2. Reclaim safe caches with one click, or review artifacts tier by tier.
  3. Clears the macOS symbolication cache automatically—the one that grows while you’re not looking.

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, no tracking. The only network calls are license activation and the app’s own update check.
