In short

CleanDev Lite is a Mac utility that scans the folders you choose for leftover coding files, such as Flutter build folders, Node node_modules and Unity Library folders, and shows what is safe to remove. It is aimed at developers who build apps or games and want to free disk space. It stands out for keeping items it considers risky, like unshipped release builds or a Unity Library, and listing the reason for each one.

Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.

About

Coding projects fill your disk without asking. Every Flutter build leaves a build folder, every Node project keeps its own node_modules, every Unity project carries a Library that can grow past ten gigabytes. Whether you are learning to code, making a game in Unity or shipping apps every week, CleanDev Lite finds them in the folders you choose and tells you, item by item, what is safe to remove.

The point is not deleting. It is knowing what not to delete.

Kept, and you see why • A Unity project that is open in the editor • A release build you have not uploaded yet (IPA, AAB, APK) • Anything changed in the last day, because a build or a dev server may still be using it • node_modules without a lockfile, because reinstalling may bring different versions • A Unity Library, because re-importing a large project can take an hour

Items like these are never selected for you. They are listed with their reason, and the decision is yours.

One summary for everyone The Simple view shows how much can be cleaned safely, a few plain categories with what happens if you remove them, and one Clean button. It can only ever select safe items.

Every detail for those who want it The Detailed view lists every item by source, with its size, when it was last used and why anything is kept. Search, Show in Finder, and a log of every cleanup.

What it cleans • Flutter and Dart: build and .dart_tool • Node: node_modules • Unity: Library, Temp and obj

Everything it removes is something your tools create again: the next build or install brings it back.

Private by design No account, no server, no analytics. CleanDev Lite runs in the App Store sandbox and only sees the folders you choose. Scanning and cleaning happen on your Mac, and the cleanup log stays there too.

Works in light and dark mode, in English and Turkish.
