Xcode Cleaner

Privacy commitment

Protecting your development data and your privacy is an absolute priority. Xcode Cleaner is designed to work entirely on its own on your Mac, with no collection, analysis or transfer of your files or personal information.

System access and Sandbox

To comply with Apple's App Store security requirements, Xcode Cleaner runs in a restricted secure environment (the Sandbox). In order to scan and clean Xcode's temporary files, the application asks you to grant access to two specific directories:

• ~/Library/DeveloperFor access to Derived Data, Archives and simulator runtimes.
• ~/Library/CachesFor cleaning Swift Package Manager (SPM) packages and the IDE's system cache files.

These accesses are managed securely and locally by macOS through Apple's Folder Bookmarks. Xcode Cleaner has no access outside those authorized folders and holds no global write access to your disk.

Data collection and transmission

Xcode Cleaner collects no information. All data about your projects (names of compiled projects, cache sizes, installed simulator versions) is read on the fly in local memory to render the interface, and is never stored persistently nor transmitted outside your machine.

Trackers and third-party tools

• No analytics toolThe application embeds no third-party tracking or audience analytics SDK. Your usage remains strictly private.
• No advertisingXcode Cleaner is free of advertising and contains no ad-targeting SDK.

Crash and error reports

If you have agreed to share diagnostic information with developers in macOS system settings, Apple may forward anonymous error reports to us when something goes wrong. That data contains no identifying information and no excerpt of your source code.
