Storage

Find cleanable content scattered across the system, applications, developer tools, and local projects in one scan. MangoDisk saves you from checking each location manually and groups the results by reclaimable space:

• System and user caches: Reclaim space taken up over time by system temporary files, diagnostic data, and rebuildable caches.
• Application caches: Keep application caches, logs, update packages, and temporary content from quietly consuming more and more storage.
• Browser data: Reclaim space used by cached and temporary web data from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Arc, Opera, and other browsers.
• Developer tools and Xcode: Quickly recover substantial storage used by package managers, IDEs, compiler caches, and Xcode development data.
• Container caches: Free up space used by inactive build caches and rebuildable data from Docker and other container tools.
• Project build artifacts: Recover space used by rebuildable dependencies, caches, and build directories across Node.js, Rust, Gradle, Swift, Python, .NET, Godot, CMake, and other projects.
• AI models and caches: Quickly spot large local AI models, download caches, and temporary transfer files.
• Application optimization: Shrink supported applications without affecting normal use, leaving more room on your disk.

Smart recommendations help you make safe choices quickly. You can also review items individually and see the estimated reclaimable space upfront, keeping every cleanup predictable and under your control.

Quickly find the largest files and reclaim space used by old installers, videos, archives, and other bulky content without digging through folders one by one.

Reclaim space taken up by duplicate copies without treating files as duplicates just because they share a name. Smart selection keeps at least one file in every group, so cleanup stays effortless and safe.

See where your disk space is going at a glance. Switch between a treemap and a sunburst chart, and choose how many levels to display to explore space usage and folder structure. Browse folders alongside the file list to quickly find the largest folders and files and decide what to clean up.

Privacy & Security

Keep browsing history, searches, cookies, recent items, and clipboard data from lingering on your computer. Clear traces left by browsers, applications, and the system to reduce exposure of your activity and make everyday privacy easier to manage.

System Tools

Uninstall applications and clear related caches, settings, and leftovers so removing an application actually gives you the space back. Potential personal files are handled cautiously to reduce the risk of accidental deletion.

Reduce unnecessary startup delays and background resource use, so your computer starts faster and feels lighter. Turn items back on at any time when you need them again.

Reduce unnecessary settings that slow down your system or get in the way. Balance performance, privacy, and personal preferences so your computer feels faster and easier to use.

Fix common problems like missing search results, incorrect icons, no sound, or network connection failures—without hunting down fixes or typing complex commands. Get your computer back to normal sooner.

Activity

Keep a clear record of every cleanup and system change. See how much space you recovered, what completed successfully, and whether anything still needs your attention.

Available since version 1.1.1

Check CPU and memory usage, network speeds, and disk activity at a glance. See which apps use the most memory and free up memory with a click when resources are running low.

Keep these details in your menu bar, taskbar, or system tray—no need to open the main window.

Available since version 1.1.0

Unsure what an item does or what might happen if you change it? AI explanations use the item's description and current scan results to explain its purpose and what to consider before taking action. Spend less time looking things up and make more informed choices.

Get explanations directly from items in Deep Cleanup (built-in rules), Privacy Cleanup, Startup Item Management, System Optimization, and System Maintenance.

Official releases include free explanations each day, with the option to connect your own AI service. AI offers guidance; you decide which actions to take.

MangoDisk scans in read-only mode by default. Before cleanup, deletion, uninstall, or system setting changes begin, you can review and confirm exactly what will happen. Results are saved to Operation History.

System Optimization only uses built-in, validated settings. It never accepts arbitrary registry paths, terminal commands, or scripts. MangoDisk reads each setting again after changing it and calls out high-impact items and changes that require administrator access or a restart.

MangoDisk maintains its own cleanup rules. Third-party projects may provide research leads, but a candidate rule is only accepted after reliable sources, safe boundaries, and real-system behavior have been verified. Anything without a clear safety boundary is excluded.

The complete rule library and revision history are open for inspection: view the MangoDisk cleanup rule library.

Download MangoDisk from the official download page or GitHub Releases, then follow the instructions for your operating system below.

Requirements: macOS Monterey 12.5 or later.

Install with Homebrew:

brew install --cask harry0703/tap/mangodisk

Manual installation: Download the DMG from the official download page, open it, and drag MangoDisk into the Applications folder.

winget install --id MangoDisk.MangoDisk --exact --source winget

Manual installation: Download the Windows installer from the official download page and follow the installation prompts.

Recommended: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or later, on x64 or ARM64.

Available as .deb packages and AppImages. Compatibility with other Linux distributions depends on their system libraries and desktop environment.

Install from the terminal (Debian/Ubuntu): This command detects your architecture and installs the latest matching .deb package.

curl -fsSL https://get.mangodisk.app/linux | bash

Manual installation: Choose the package for your architecture on the official download page.

• Debian/Ubuntu: Install the .deb package for your architecture.
• Other distributions: Try the AppImage by making it executable, then running it.

Install with Homebrew:

brew install harry0703/tap/mangodisk-cli

Install with PowerShell:

irm https://get.mangodisk.app/cli | iex

Install with WinGet (official source):

winget install --id MangoDisk.CLI --exact --source winget

Prebuilt standalone CLI downloads are not yet available for Linux. Follow the Build from Source instructions below to build it yourself.

If mangodisk is not immediately available after installation, open a new terminal, then verify the installation:

mangodisk --version

Common commands:

# Scan and show cleanable content without changing anything
mangodisk clean

# Apply the same smart recommendations as the desktop application
mangodisk clean --apply

# Preview all selectable content without deleting anything
mangodisk clean --apply --selection all --dry-run

# Produce machine-readable JSON output
mangodisk clean --format json --no-progress

mangodisk clean only scans and never modifies files by default. To perform cleanup in a non-interactive environment, you must also pass --yes to confirm explicitly. Run the following command for all available options:

mangodisk clean --help

• Node.js 24 LTS
• pnpm 11.13.1
• Stable Rust

For platform-specific dependencies, see the Tauri 2 prerequisites.

Local builds do not include the signing, notarization, or update metadata provided by official MangoDisk releases. Use them for local development and validation only.

Issues, cleanup rules, fixes, and new features are welcome. Read CONTRIBUTING.md and AGENTS.md before getting started.

Routine cleanup coverage should use build-validated, declarative TOML rules. See src-tauri/crates/mangodisk-core/rules/README.md for the rule schema, safety constraints, and validation instructions.

Before submitting changes, run at least:

pnpm check
cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml -p mangodisk-core

Report security vulnerabilities privately through GitHub Security Advisories as described in SECURITY.md. Do not open a public issue for a security vulnerability.

• Tauri 2: Desktop runtime and system integration
• Rust: Scanning, filesystem access, safety validation, and cleanup execution
