Is Dusty safe to use on system files?

Dusty checks items against a safelist of protected macOS system directories and explains files that are not obvious before you remove them. All deletions go to macOS Trash first, so you can review and restore anything.

Does Dusty send my data to a server?

File contents never leave your Mac. Scanning runs entirely on your device. To generate an explanation, Dusty sends only a file's name, path, size, category, and modification date to Google's Gemini API. Paths can include your username and folder names, so skip AI explanations if that is a concern.

What macOS versions are supported?

Dusty is optimized for macOS 13 (Ventura) and newer, with full native support for both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel Macs.

What it is

Dusty: the homepage

Dusty is an AI-powered storage cleaner for macOS that scans your Mac locally and uses Google's Gemini AI to explain what files are before you delete them. It identifies and removes developer files like node_modules and Xcode caches, WhatsApp media, browser caches, and large old downloads. The app includes a visual concentric radar disk map for exploring storage, can offload iPhone and iPad backups to cloud storage or external drives, and provides one-click app uninstallation that removes hidden support files and caches that other uninstallers leave behind. All deletions go to Trash first for safety, and scans run entirely locally on your Mac without sending file contents to servers.
