It targets macOS, Windows, and Linux, bringing common cleanup tasks and storage exploration into one desktop interface, with a CLI for terminal use and scripts. Rather than treating cleanup as a blind space-recovery operation, MangoDisk emphasizes inspectable results and user confirmation. It also includes tools for uninstalling apps, managing startup items, optimizing settings, and troubleshooting common system issues. ## Key Features - Scan system, application, browser, developer-tool, container, and project caches for cleanup candidates. - Find large files and identify exact duplicates, with selection designed to retain at least one copy from each duplicate group. - Explore disk usage with treemap and sunburst views, and browse folders and files. - Clear selected browser, application, and system activity traces. - Uninstall applications and review related leftovers, with potentially personal files handled cautiously. - Manage startup items and apply built-in system optimizations or maintenance actions. - Review operation history and use AI explanations for supported cleanup and system items. - Run scans and cleanup from the CLI, including dry-run and JSON output options. ## Use Cases - A macOS, Windows, or Linux user wants to locate caches and build artifacts before deciding what to remove. - A developer needs to find storage consumed by IDEs, package managers, containers, local projects, or downloaded AI models. - Someone wants to identify bulky files or exact duplicates without browsing folders manually. - A user removing an application wants to inspect related caches and leftovers as part of the uninstall. - A technically comfortable user wants scan and cleanup workflows in a terminal or script, with explicit confirmation for non-interactive changes. ## Our Take MangoDisk is a feature-rich cleanup tool with unusually explicit safety controls, but it is still a young, fast-changing project whose development is concentrated in one contributor. **Good fit if:** - You want disk analysis and cleanup tools in one desktop app across macOS, Windows, or Linux. - You value read-only scanning by default, review before changes, and recorded operations. - You want a CLI alongside the desktop interface and are comfortable with its explicit apply and confirmation options. **Look elsewhere if:** - Your organization cannot accept GPL-3.0 obligations for the way it plans to use or distribute the software. - You require a mature project with development and maintenance broadly distributed across contributors. - You need a Linux CLI binary ready to install, since the README says Linux CLI users must currently build from source. ## Project Health | Signal | Value | |---|---| | Status | **New**: less than six months old and changing fast | | Last commit | 2026-10-18 (1 day ago) | | Commits, last 90 days | 100+ | | Releases, last 12 months | 20 (latest v1.1.9, 2026-10-16) | | Contributors | 8 (top contributor: 97% of commits) | | Issues closed, last 90 days | 44 (typically closed in 4 days) | | Pull requests merged, last 90 days | 6 (typically merged in 0 days) | | Project age | 3 months | Checked on 2026-10-20 with the GitHub API. ## Project Facts - Language: Rust - License: GPL-3.0 - Stars: 4.3k - Forks: 290 - Topics: app-uninstaller, cache-cleaner, cross-platform, desktop-app, disk-cleaner, disk-cleanup, disk-space-analyzer, duplicate-files - Website: https://mangodisk.app/ - Archived: no ## What You Need Detected in the repository: - Node.js (from package.json) - Rust 1.99.0 or newer (from Cargo.toml) - A test suite and automated checks on GitHub Actions ## Getting Started Download the desktop app from the [official download page](https://mangodisk.app/download) or [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/harry0703/MangoDisk/releases/latest). For macOS, the README also documents this Homebrew command: ```sh brew install --cask harry0703/tap/mangodisk ``` For platform-specific installation, CLI setup, and source builds, see the [README](https://github.com/harry0703/MangoDisk#readme). ## License in Plain Words **GPL-3.0** (strong copyleft). - Commercial use: yes - Modify and redistribute: yes - You must keep: the license notice - Share your changes: yes, the full source of anything you distribute that includes it, under the GPL - Includes an explicit patent grant from the contributors A summary, not legal advice: the LICENSE file is what applies. ## Considerations - The project is new and changing quickly. Recent commits and frequent releases show active development, but its short history means long-term stability is not yet established. - Most development activity comes from one contributor, despite a wider contributor group. This is a maintenance and continuity consideration. - The app can permanently delete data or change system settings. The README advises reviewing selected content, keeping backups, and understanding the impact of system changes. - Linux desktop packages are available, but prebuilt standalone Linux CLI downloads are not yet available. - Source builds require Node.js, pnpm, and Rust, in addition to Tauri's platform-specific prerequisites. - AI explanations are guidance rather than automated decisions.
