Xcode Cache Cleaner
Clean Xcode derived data, simulators, and caches
Overview
Developers know the pain - Xcode alone can consume massive storage with derived data, simulators, archives, and caches. Add in other development tools like Android Studio, VS Code, npm, CocoaPods, and Homebrew, and your Mac can quickly run out of space.
DiskCleanKit's Dev Tools Cleaner is specifically designed for developers. It identifies and safely removes development-related caches and build artifacts that can be regenerated when needed, without affecting your source code or project files.
The cleaner supports a wide range of development tools and frameworks, making it the perfect companion for any developer's Mac. Regular cleaning can free up tens of gigabytes and even improve build times.

Pro Tips
Clean Xcode Derived Data when switching between major Xcode versions to avoid compatibility issues.
