Every cleanup comes with evidence
Scan results list each item’s path, size and the reason behind the suggestion. One-click cleanup only selects caches that rebuild themselves, and you review the full list before anything is deleted.
ClearancemacOS
Disk cleanup for developers,
with a reason for every item.
Clearance tells you what is safe to delete on your Mac and why, and only acts after you confirm. Clear Xcode, Gradle, Android SDK and Flutter caches in one click. Your projects, chat history and device data are never selected.
- Every scan runs on your Mac
- Full list before anything is deleted
- Large data is shown, never auto-cleaned
What it does
Clear the caches. Keep what matters.
Know which SDKs you still use
Clearance reads your projects’ configuration to find the Gradle, NDK and Flutter versions they actually use, and flags old versions nothing references. Android NDKs, system images and emulators are removed with the official SDK Manager and avdmanager. It never runs project scripts.
Developer caches, sorted in one pass
Xcode module cache, precompiled modules, DerivedData, device support files and iOS simulators; per-version Gradle caches; download caches from Homebrew, pip, CocoaPods and npm; Flutter build folders, keeping packaged builds inside.
Find what’s really taking space
AI models, containers, virtual machines, chat app data and iPhone and iPad backups are measured and explained. This data is shown for your information and never cleaned automatically.
Uninstall apps without leftovers
When you uninstall an app, Clearance also finds its support files, caches and preferences. Move them to the Trash so you can restore them if needed.
Measured again after cleanup
Scanned usage isn’t always the space you get back. After cleanup, Clearance measures the disk again and shows how much was actually freed.
Standard and Pro modes
Standard mode shows only recommended items and keeps things simple. Pro mode shows full paths, evidence and every candidate, for people who want to make the call themselves.
Path, size and reason, right in front of you.
Screenshots are from the current development build; the released app may differ slightly.
App Data: each app’s data sorted into cleanable, uncertain and risky, every item with its reason 
Developer caches: every item shows its path, size and why it’s safe to delete 
Uninstall apps: support files, caches and preferences found with the app
Clearance is getting its final polish. Coming soon.

Scanning and cleanup never leave this computer.
Clearance needs no account, uploads no file lists or scan results, and includes no advertising or analytics tools. Full Disk Access is used only to measure other apps’ data folders, and the app works without it.
No account
Open it and start. No sign-up, no login.
Nothing uploaded
File paths, sizes and cleanup history are processed on your Mac only.
Optional access
Full Disk Access only measures other apps’ data folders. Revoke it anytime in System Settings.
You make the call
A full list before every deletion. Large and personal data is never selected automatically.
Clearance: frequently asked questions
The Clearance privacy policy explains permissions, on-device processing and deletion in detail.
What is Clearance?
Clearance is a Mac disk cleanup app for developers, made by Fly Design. It scans caches and old versions left by Xcode, Gradle, Android SDK, Flutter and other developer tools, plus large data, explains each item’s path, size and reason, and cleans only after you confirm.
Could Clearance delete my projects or important data?
One-click cleanup only selects caches that rebuild themselves. Your projects, chat history and device data are never selected. Large data such as AI models, virtual machines and iPhone backups is shown but never cleaned automatically. Before every deletion you review the full list and confirm.
How does Clearance know whether an old SDK is still in use?
Clearance reads the configuration files of projects on your Mac to find the Gradle, NDK and Flutter versions they actually use, then flags old versions no project references. It only reads configuration and never runs project scripts. Android NDKs, system images and emulators are removed with the official SDK Manager and avdmanager, and iOS simulators with simctl.
Does Clearance upload information about my files?
No. All scanning and cleanup happen on your Mac. File paths, sizes and cleanup history are never uploaded, and there is no account to create. The app contains no advertising or analytics components.
Do I have to grant Full Disk Access?
No. With it, Clearance can also measure other apps’ data folders. Without it, scanning and cleanup still work and those folders are simply left out. You can revoke access anytime in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
Where can I download Clearance, and what does it need?

Pricing and availability will be announced at launch; to hear when it’s out, write to flydesign.app@gmail.com.
