Kudu is a free desktop system cleaner for Windows, macOS and Linux. It scans for junk files, temporary data, browser and application caches, and leftover application data, then reports what can be reclaimed before anything is deleted. Deletion happens only after the user reviews and confirms the selection, and the same functionality is available through both a graphical interface and a command-line interface.
The main features of adventdevinc/kudu are: Disk Space Cleaners, Junk File Cleanup, Application Cleaning Rule Files, Cache Cleaners, Cleaning Rule Definitions, Local-Only Processing, Cross-Platform Abstractions, Headless Core with Multiple Frontends.

Lemon-cleaner is a macOS system cleaner and resource monitor. It provides a suite of tools for removing application junk and temporary files, completely uninstalling software and its hidden support files, and reclaiming disk space through a visual disk space analyzer and duplicate file remover. The project distinguishes itself with specialized capabilities for digital media decluttering, utilizing visual similarity analysis to identify and prune redundant photos. It also includes a system resource monitor that tracks real-time hardware metrics, such as CPU temperature and memory usage, direct
BleachBit is a system cleaning tool that frees disk space by removing accumulated cache, cookies, logs, temporary files, and other unnecessary data. It provides a preview of what will be deleted before any permanent changes are made, allowing safe review and adjustment of cleaning operations. The tool offers extensive control over what gets cleaned, including the ability to exclude specific files and folders, create custom cleaning rules for files not covered by built-in cleaners, and import over 2,400 community-maintained cleaning rules from winapp2.ini files. It supports secure data erasure
PureMac is a native macOS system cleaner and disk space optimizer. Built as a SwiftUI desktop application, it functions as an application uninstaller and system maintenance utility designed to reclaim disk space by removing system junk, caches, and orphaned files. The project differentiates itself through a comprehensive uninstallation process that uses heuristic-based file matching to locate hidden preferences and logs. It also includes specialized developer environment cleanup to target temporary artifacts generated by tools such as Xcode and Homebrew. The software provides broader capabil
mac-cleanup-sh is a command-line utility designed for macOS that automates the removal of temporary files, system logs, and application caches. It functions as a system maintenance tool to reclaim storage capacity by identifying and purging redundant data across the operating system and development environments. The tool distinguishes itself by providing a dry-run simulation mode that calculates potential disk space recovery before any files are deleted. It utilizes pattern matching to target specific directories and handles cleanup operations idempotently, ensuring that the process continues
