storageanalyser
Storage Analyzer & Cleanup Recommender for macOS and Windows.
Scans your home directory (and optionally other paths) to find:
Large files hogging space
Stale files you haven’t touched in ages
Known junk directories (caches, logs, build artifacts, node_modules, etc.)
Duplicate files (by size + hash) with wasted space calculation
Old downloads sitting in ~/Downloads
Outputs a prioritised list of cleanup recommendations with estimated space savings.
