purrge
by RabbittuX
Purrge is a disk clean-up tool for macOS and Windows that warns you when free space runs low. It asks a locally installed AI assistant to judge which caches, installers and large files can go, and only deletes what you tick and confirm.

What you can do with it
- Get a warning when free disk space drops below a threshold you set
- Scan caches, installers, large files and old projects and see an AI explanation of each
- Review a list in your browser and delete only the items you tick
Ways a business could use it
- Keep laptops and workstations from running out of space by clearing build caches and old downloads without paying for a cleaner app
- Free up room on a freelancer's machine used for video or design work, with a review step before anything is removed
Can you use it commercially?
Not open source (PolyForm licence). Usually free to use for your own business, but you can't resell it or offer it as a hosted service. Read the licence.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
On macOS install with Homebrew (brew install rabbittux/tap/purrge, then purrge install) or a shell script; on Windows use Install-Module Purrge and Install-Purrge in PowerShell.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licence is not clearly stated (NOASSERTION)
- Needs an AI engine such as Claude Code, Codex, WorkBuddy or a DeepSeek API key, which may need a paid account or credits
- Deletes files, so check each item carefully before confirming
- Several unrelated projects share the name purrge, so install only from the official RabbittuX source
- README is in Chinese
