Auto Clean
When safe caches exceed a size threshold you set, DevCleaner cleans them automatically — with an optional minimum age so fresh work is never touched. Configure in Settings → Scanning.
Smart Triggers
When you quit a dev app (Xcode, Cursor, Android Studio…), DevCleaner cleans that app's safe caches in the background and shows a notification with how much was freed. Opt-in, off by default.
Project Hibernation
Archive whole inactive projects off your local disk into a zip or tar archive, move them to an external drive or iCloud, and delete the original — with a full safety chain (verify, checksum, breadcrumb). Includes:
- Light archive — strips heavy artifacts, keeps source and lockfiles
- Full archive — keeps everything
- Docker runtime capture — compose volumes, image strategy on restore
- Batch archive — archive all unused projects at once (Pro)
See Project Hibernation for the full restore flow and dependency reinstall.
Trial & pricing
Every install includes a 14-day Pro trial. After that, buy a yearly or lifetime license — activate on up to 3 of your Macs. Details in License, trial & pricing and on the homepage.
Pro features never bypass the safety model. Automation only touches SAFE caches. Hibernation is a deliberate, confirmed action — never part of Quick Clean or Smart Triggers.
