SymbolSweep is a local-only desktop app. We collect no data.
Everything. SymbolSweep scans your filesystem for developer artifacts—build caches, derived data, package manager directories—and displays the results locally. No scan data, file paths, directory names, or disk metrics ever leave your Mac.
SymbolSweep reads only the directories it needs to measure and clean:
node_modules, .pnpm-store, and package manager cachestarget directoriescoresymbolicationd)It does not access your documents, photos, mail, browser data, or any directories outside its scan scope. Deletes always go to macOS Trash first.
SymbolSweep makes zero network requests during normal operation. It does not phone home, upload telemetry, or communicate with any server. Optional update checks connect only to the update server and send no user data.
None. No cookies, no tracking pixels, no analytics service—not in the app, not on this website.
We don’t share data with third parties because we don’t have any data to share.
