Generic cleaners wipe your prompt history, chat indexes, and offline models. CacheLens explains what every AI directory does before you clean. 100% offline. Trash by default.
Actual CacheLens v0.2.1 app window - not a mockup.
One developer Mac, scanned locally in August 2026. Totals are not the same as reclaimable space.
Regenerable cache with a clear recovery path and current verification. Safe is not the same as permanently reclaimable - some Safe items may recreate after the tool restarts. If a rule is unverified or the tool layout drifted, CacheLens downgrades to Review instead of guessing.
Large, costly, or uncertain data that deserves an explicit decision - including items demoted when verification fails.
Credentials and settings that CacheLens will not select.
Every item explains what it is, the cost of removal, and how to recover it.
The source stays private, but every rule CacheLens applies ships in plain text inside the app and is visible before you ever scan. No hidden heuristics, no server-side model deciding what is Safe.
All Pro features are 100% free through October 2026. Future paid tiers are displayed for transparency (available Nov 2026).
