What it is

Jharu is a free desktop disk cleaner and storage analyzer for software developers and machine learning engineers. It runs on macOS and Windows and scans more than 25 known developer and machine-learning cache locations, showing per-item safety ratings and staleness. Its model view covers individual models from Hugging Face, Ollama, Whisper, PyTorch, and Keras, and distinguishes loaded models from downloads that have not been opened. A disk-analysis view presents contents as a treemap or list and classifies folders by type. Jharu can find virtualenv and conda environments, size their packages, and show duplication between environments. Its uninstaller removes applications and leftover support files, caches, and preferences; on Windows, it runs each program’s own uninstaller. Cleanup moves items to Trash or Recycle Bin, with a safety rating and confirmation, while operating system locations are protected. The maker describes the open-source app as having no telemetry. macOS users need to grant Full Disk Access for complete scan coverage. The maker says the app is not yet signed with a paid developer certificate, so either platform may display a security warning at first launch.

  • Shows model downloads separately from loaded models.
  • Finds duplication across virtualenv and conda environments.
  • Cleanup uses Trash or Recycle Bin.
  • Open source under Apache 2.0 with no telemetry.

Limits

  • macOS needs Full Disk Access for complete scans.
  • First launch may show a security warning.
  • Available on macOS and Windows only.

Who it suits

Jharu is intended for software developers and machine learning engineers who want to inspect and clean caches, model downloads, and Python environments. It is available at no cost on macOS and Windows.
