sweep-cli-0.3.0 is not a library.

🧹 Sweep

Fast system cleaner for macOS and Linux. 10x faster than shell-based tools.

Sweep combines CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, DaisyDisk, and iStat Menus into a single 4MB binary — written in Rust, no dependencies, MIT licensed.

brew install sweep   # coming soon
# or
curl -fsSL https://sweep.dev/install.sh | bash

Quick Start

sweep              # Interactive menu
sweep scan ~       # Analyze disk (interactive explorer)
sweep clean        # Clean system caches
sweep ai           # Clean AI/ML caches (HuggingFace, Ollama)
sweep dev          # Clean build artifacts (node_modules, target)
sweep docker       # Clean Docker junk
sweep uninstall    # Remove apps + remnants
sweep optimize     # Flush DNS, rebuild caches
sweep installer    # Remove .dmg/.pkg files
sweep status       # Real-time system monitor

Add --dry-run to any command to preview without deleting.
