## About Dusty

Dusty is an AI-powered macOS storage cleaner and disk management utility engineered specifically for developers, designers, and power users who need complete clarity and control over their disk space. Unlike traditional Mac cleaning tools that operate as opaque black boxes, Dusty integrates Google Gemini AI to analyze your files and explain exactly what they are, which application created them, and why they are consuming space—all in plain English before anything is moved to the Trash.

Built with developer workflows at its core, Dusty excels at identifying and reclaiming massive amounts of disk space from orphaned development artifacts. It safely scans and cleans redundant node_modules directories across old projects, accumulated Xcode DerivedData and iOS simulator runtimes, lingering Docker container overlays and unused images, Android Studio build artifacts, and Gradle caches that routinely consume tens of gigabytes of valuable SSD storage.

Beyond developer caches, Dusty features a comprehensive 1-click Application Uninstaller that detects hidden background helpers, Application Support data, and ~/Library residual files to ensure zero leftover clutter. It also includes dedicated media cleanup modules for WhatsApp Desktop, user caches, browser remnants, and massive forgotten downloads. Every cleanup operation adheres to a strict safety-first protocol: files are moved to macOS Trash rather than permanently purged, giving you complete peace of mind.

Dusty is available with an honest, transparent $9.99 lifetime license with no recurring subscriptions, including a 24-hour free trial so you can experience full storage reclamation risk-free.
