🛠 Jharu Released — Open-Source Disk Cleaner for Developers
This is a free utility for macOS and Windows (built on Tauri), created specifically for ML engineers and developers. It can analyze specific caches: Hugging Face, Ollama, PyTorch, and Whisper models, as well as package managers (npm, pip, conda, Cargo) and Docker data. Jharu can distinguish between downloaded but unused models and active ones, allowing for safe space reclamation.
🌍 The emergence of specialized tools for ML infrastructure addresses the problem of local workstation bloat caused by heavy model weights and fragmented environments.
👤 It allows for efficient disk space management without accidentally deleting necessary model weights or active environments, which is critical when working with local LLMs.
