Take control of your Xcode environment with CodePurge. This all-in-one tool not only handles cleanup for archives, derived data, and documentation caches, but also introduces powerful tools to:
- Identify device support files recently used by Xcode to ensure safe removal of unused files.
- Manage bloated simulators, including SwiftUI Preview simulators, which can consume significantly more storage than core iOS simulators.
- Clean up the global Swift Package Manager cache, allowing you to remove outdated or unnecessary repositories.
The project is built with modularity in mind, consisting of a standalone app and two publicly available Swift packages.
Test Mode and Live Mode
CodePurge offers two modes of operation to suit your workflow:
- Test Mode: Explore the app's capabilities without making any changes to your system.
- Live Mode: Erases the data from selected simulators and moves everything else to the trash bin.
Test Mode: No files are deleted
Live Mode: Files are deleted
Clean Up Xcode-Generated Files
CodePurge makes it easy to identify and clean up unnecessary files generated by Xcode, such as:
- Archives: Remove old and unused archives to reclaim storage space.
- Derived Data: Free up space taken by build artifacts and debug files.
- Documentation Cache: Delete outdated API documentation to optimize storage without affecting development workflows.
Device Support Management
Unused device support files can quickly clutter your storage. CodePurge:
- Identifies device support files recently used by Xcode.
- Separates unused files from active ones, allowing you to safely clean up unnecessary versions.

Simulator Management
Simulators, especially those for SwiftUI previews, can occupy significant disk space. CodePurge provides tools to:
- Manage core iOS simulators used for testing and debugging.
- Handle SwiftUI Preview simulators, which often consume 10x the storage of core simulators, ensuring your environment stays optimized.
Swift Packages Cache Cleanup
CodePurge allows developers to manage the global Swift Packages cache by:
- Identifying unused or outdated repositories.
- Removing unneeded package repositories to free up valuable disk space.
- iOS Developers: Simplify the management of Xcode-generated files and reduce wasted storage.
- Anyone Looking to Optimize Xcode: CodePurge is an invaluable tool for those who want to focus on development without worrying about cluttered files.
- CodePurgeKit: The core library with shared data models, utilities, and view components.
- CodePurgeDeveloperDataKit: Focused on managing developer-specific data, like archives, derived data, device support, and documentation cache.
CodePurge is not just a file cleanup tool; it’s a robust solution for many aspects of your Xcode environment. By simplifying the process of identifying and removing unnecessary files, CodePurge helps you:
- 💾 Save valuable disk space: Quickly identify and remove unnecessary files.
- 🚀 Optimize your workflow: Focus on development without worrying about clutter.
Whether you’re an independent developer or part of a team, CodePurge ensures your environment stays clean, efficient, and ready for your next project.
