Purge App Studio

How to use Purge App Studio

1. Open the Cleanup Planner and review the sample scan with its safety labels and reclaim total
2. Add your own item with a name, path, size and kind, and read the verdict Purge's rules give it
3. Toggle Safe to Clean only to see what a scheduled clean would take, then export the Trash plan as JSON
4. Drop files on the Duplicates tab to hash them with SHA-256 and find true byte-for-byte copies
5. Pick a stale threshold on the Dev Tools tab to see which developer projects would appear
6. Filter Large Files by category, size and last used, and check the AI model stores Purge knows
7. Read the Safety tab for the permanent exceptions, schedule options, shortcuts and install steps

Features

• Built on the real jithin-sabu/purge-app repo (MIT, v1.13.1 build 37) with its exact rules and data
• Cleanup Planner applies the repo's real verdicts: Safe to Clean, Check First, hidden in-use projects, unlisted unknowns
• Real Trash rule throughout: files go to the Trash by default and Purge never empties the Trash
• SHA-256 duplicate finder in the browser: drop files, group byte-for-byte copies, keep one of each
• Dev Tools catalog with all 16 global caches, 9 project artifacts and the real stale thresholds from 1 month to 2 years
• Large Files filters from the repo: 9 categories, 5 MB to 1 GB size filter, last-used filter, 10 AI model stores
• Safety reference: the 4 permanent exceptions, scheduled cleaning intervals, shortcuts and the brew install command
• Honest scope: real deletion needs the native Mac app; this studio plans, classifies and hashes, and never deletes
