Declutter shows you exactly where your space went — a fast treemap and a descending size list — then helps you get it back with a copilot that suggests, never surprises. Nothing is deleted without your explicit approval.
Disks quietly fill with invisible clutter — caches, build artifacts, package downloads, old logs, forgotten downloads and duplicates. You can't see it, and the tools that clean it are scary: one wrong sweep can wipe real work.
Finder and Explorer can't tell you what a folder actually costs.
Aggressive cleaners delete first and apologize later.
Dev caches and node_modules rebuild themselves endlessly.
The space is spread across dozens of hidden locations.
Concurrent scan of any root — a whole volume, your home folder, or a single directory. Live progress, cancellable, and it skips permission errors gracefully instead of failing.
Proportional rectangles you can drill into folder-by-folder, with a breadcrumb path and a sunburst alternative.
The OmniDiskSweeper-style workhorse: everything sorted descending by size, expandable, with % of parent and type badges.
Category scanners surface only provably-safe-to-reclaim items. The copilot explains why each is safe in plain language — and it's read-only.
Approved items are moved to a recoverable quarantine — never straight to rm. Restore anything with one click until you explicitly empty it. Every action is logged, so you always have a full history.
Most cleaners optimize for how much they can delete. Declutter optimizes for making sure the delete is one you asked for. The destructive path is always the slower, more-confirmed one.
Read: is it safe to delete node_modules? →Built from a single Flutter codebase, native on each platform. Binaries produced via CI.
Point Declutter at a disk or folder. It maps every byte and renders a treemap plus a size list in seconds.
The copilot proposes safe-to-reclaim items and explains why. You pick what to include and preview the exact plan.
Approve to move items into quarantine. Reclaim permanently when you're ready — or restore anything, anytime.
No. Declutter never deletes on its own. Every reclaim is a reviewed phase: Preview → Approve → Quarantine → (optional) permanent delete. You approve each phase explicitly.
The copilot is read-only. It ranks and explains findings that the safety engine already marked reclaimable — it can never widen scope, add paths, or trigger a deletion on its own.
Approved items go to a recoverable quarantine, not the bin. You can restore with one click until you explicitly empty the quarantine. Everything is logged.
macOS, Windows, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions (including Arch/Omarchy). It is one Flutter codebase built natively per platform.
WizTree and GrandPerspective show you space; CleanMyMac cleans it. Declutter does both, but puts a strict safety engine and human-in-the-loop approval in front of every destructive action.
The core scanner, visualization and manual cleanup are free. A future Pro tier will add deeper copilot features, scheduled scans and a duplicate finder.
