Open source · dry-run first · a hard never-touch list · sweeps every account. Scan · Confirm · Trash — the delete is yours. Most Mac cleaners are a black box that asks you to trust them while they delete things you can't see, behind a subscription. sheersweep is the opposite: it's one short shell script you can read end to end , it shows you exactly what it will free before it frees anything , it only clears caches/temp/logs the OS rebuilds on its own , and it has a hard-coded list of things it will never touch . Open source, no subscription, no surprises. The full teardown — how black-box cleaners work, and the APFS-snapshot trick most skip — is on the devlog. Why trust it - You can read every line. It's one bash script — run wc -l sheersweep for today's number. Roughly a quarter of it is the nine-language string table and a sixth is comments explaining why , so the logic is about half the file. That is not a weekend read, and this bullet is not claiming it is: the point is that every line is there to be read , in one file, with no compiled step and nothing fetched at runtime. sheersweep itself never deletes a file except two easy-to-find ways: the sweep's find … -delete runs solely on the cache paths listed below, and uninstall moves files to the Trash — it never calls rm . Every other destructive action is a tool's own uninstaller ( brew uninstall , delegated), and sheersweep prints the exact command before running it. - Dry-run fi","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/CVERInc","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/CVERInc/sheersweep/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
