Aren't most these people recommending random tools in the github chat for this entry just attempting to exploit naive users? Why would anyone in this day and age follow advice of new users to download new repos or click at random websites when they already attempt to use claude code or cowork?
While I generally agree with your sentiment, these tools aren't bad ones:
- Santa is a very common tool used by macOS admins to lock down binary and file access privileges for apps, usually on managed machines
- Disk Inventory X and GrandPerspective are well-known disk space usage tools for macOS (I personally use DaisyDisk but that requires a license)
- WizTree and WinDirStat are very common tools from Windows admin toolkits
The only one here I can say is potentially suspect is ClearDisk. I haven't used it before, but it does appear to be useful for specifically tracking down developer caches that eat up disk space.
