Ollama models you tried once. Hugging Face checkpoints. Pip, conda, and Xcode caches. AI workflows quietly hoard tens of gigabytes — Prune finds every byte and clears it safely, in seconds.
Every AI tool keeps its own private stash. None of them clean up. And it's not just AI — uninstalled apps and everyday software quietly leave their own trail too. On a 256 GB MacBook, that's the difference between working and watching the "disk full" spinner.
You don't need a bigger SSD. You need to see what's eating this one. All of it is regenerable — apps re-download what they actually use.
Generic Mac cleaners don't know what an Ollama model or a Hugging Face checkpoint is. Prune was built for the machines doing AI work on 256 and 512 GB drives.
Finds Hugging Face caches, Ollama models, pip and conda leftovers, plus Xcode DerivedData, npm, CocoaPods, and IDE caches — categorized so you know exactly what's safe to clear. It also sweeps the everyday stuff: system caches and logs, browser and app clutter, uninstalled app leftovers, and forgotten large files.
Every file is listed before removal. Active projects with .git or node_modules are skipped, deletions stay inside your user folder, and large files are never auto-selected.
A tiny native app — not another Electron memory hog. Runs great on 2018–2020 Intel MacBooks and Apple Silicon alike, with zero background agents.
The scanner is free forever — see everything Prune finds before paying. Every paid plan unlocks the same full cleaning power. Switch or cancel anytime, right inside the app.

Everything people ask before letting a cleaner near their AI models and dev projects.
Only the models and paths you explicitly select. Prune lists every file before deletion, and Ollama re-downloads any model you pull again — nothing is removed by surprise.
It's stored at ~/.cache/huggingface. Clearing it is safe — Hugging Face re-downloads checkpoints the next time a script needs them. Prune shows you the exact size before you clean it.
No. DerivedData and iOS DeviceSupport caches rebuild automatically the next time you open a project in Xcode. Prune also skips folders containing an active .git or node_modules by default.
Yes. Prune ships as a universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (2018 and newer, macOS 12+) — exactly the hardware most affected by small 256GB and 512GB SSDs.
No. Scanning is free forever and shows the total reclaimable size. You only need Prune Pro to actually delete what it finds, from $1.99/month.
Prune restricts deletions to your user folder and /Library/Logs by default, never auto-selects large files, and lists every path before removal so nothing is deleted blind.
