MangoDisk is a disk cleaner and space analyzer for macOS and Windows that combines storage cleanup, duplicate file detection, and system optimization in a single application.
The tool addresses the problem of fragmented storage consumption across system caches, applications, developer tools, and project artifacts by scanning the entire system and grouping findings by reclaimable space. It identifies cleanable content in system and user caches, application caches and logs, browser data across multiple browsers, developer tool caches including Xcode, container build caches, project build artifacts across multiple languages and frameworks, AI model downloads, and application optimization opportunities. The approach emphasizes safety through smart recommendations and upfront visibility of reclaimable space before any cleanup action, allowing users to review items individually and maintain control over what gets removed.
Adoption suits developers and power users managing machines with constrained storage who want centralized visibility into space consumption across system, application, and development contexts. The tool is particularly valuable for those working with multiple development environments, container tools, or large AI models where storage can accumulate rapidly across scattered locations. It handles both macOS and Windows, and includes additional capabilities for duplicate file cleanup and large file discovery beyond the core cache-cleaning focus.
The project is written in Rust with a Tauri frontend, indicating a focus on performance and cross-platform desktop delivery. Development activity shows consistent engagement with the codebase, with regular updates addressing functionality and user-reported issues. The README is maintained in multiple languages, reflecting attention to accessibility for a global user base. The project maintains an active release cycle and demonstrates responsiveness to feature requests and bug reports from users.
