Let Claude analyze your files and instantly pinpoint what’s actually consuming your storage, so you can clean up space without digging through folders manually.

TL;DR

You'll use Claude Code to scan your Mac's storage via terminal commands, then get a plain-language analysis of exactly what's taking up space and what's safe to delete. This lets you clean up hidden bloat like old repos, caches, and forgotten downloads without guessing.

Who this is for

  • Developers with nested node_modules, Docker images, or Python venvs.
  • AI-tool users with cached model weights and downloaded datasets.
  • Any Mac user tired of the vague 'System Data' or 'Other' categories.

What you'll build

You'll be able to open terminal, get a bigger picture of your storage, find forgotten large files, and ask Claude for a cleanup plan.
