v1.0.0
721ea1b

A desktop app that finds and safely clears developer tool caches on your system.

Downloads (Windows 64-bit)

  • DevCacheGuardian.exe (53.3 MB) — Standalone executable. No Python installation required.
  • DevCacheGuardian-v1.0.0-windows-x64.zip (52.9 MB) — Portable zip archive containing the executable and documentation.

What it does

Developer tools store gigabytes of cache files over time. DevCache Guardian scans these locations and gives you a single interface to review and clear them:

  • Package Managers: pip, uv, npm, pnpm, yarn
  • AI & Local LLM Models: Hugging Face Hub, Ollama, LM Studio, ComfyUI, Automatic1111/Forge, PyTorch Hub, Whisper
  • Containers: Docker build layers and dangling images
  • Build Systems: Gradle, Maven, Cargo (registry tarballs), Go build and module caches, NuGet, Flutter/Dart
  • System: Temporary folders, macOS DerivedData

Safety rules

  • Every action requires confirmation. Nothing is deleted automatically.
  • Uses official tool commands first (pip cache purge, npm cache clean, etc.) before falling back to directory cleanup.
  • Preserves configuration files. If a cache directory contains config files (like gradle.properties or config.json), DevCache Guardian detects them and skips them during cleanup.
  • Virtual environments are protected. Project .venv and Conda folders are listed for visibility, but deletion is disabled.
  • Runs entirely offline. No tracking, no accounts, and no data sent over the network.
