bgviewer is a menu-bar kill-switch for macOS background services — see everything running behind your Mac and stop, pause, restart, or disable it, including the KeepAlive agents that respawn when killed. Now at bgviewer.shreshtharora.com.

New in 1.9.0 — app caches 🗄

Dev Junk grows an APP CACHES group for the caches that quietly garble up disks:

  • Curated classics: Adobe media cache + Camera Raw, Xcode iOS DeviceSupport, CocoaPods, npm / Yarn / pip caches, Homebrew downloads, Playwright browsers
  • Plus any non-Apple folder in ~/Library/Caches over 100 MB — apps rebuild these on demand
  • Same paranoid rules as everything else: com.apple.* is never listed or deletable, guards re-checked at delete time, two-step confirm, and a reminder to quit an app before clearing its cache
  • If auto-update is on, this release installed itself. Neat.
