Clean dozens of gigabytes of forgotten build caches, kill runaway background daemons draining your battery, and audit startup items with zero fear. Safe git-tree inspection and instant APFS rollback ensure you never lose uncommitted work.
Jim spotlights orphaned rust-analyzer holding 24% CPU without active editor.
Jim is a tactile Swiss Army utility for your Mac. Instead of memorizing arcane terminal commands or guessing what to clean, you throw Jim directly onto your system problems.
Language servers like rust-analyzer and tsserver often linger after closing your editor, burning CPU and draining laptop battery. Toss Jim onto Activity Monitor to identify unparented workers and throttle them instantly.
Xcode DerivedData, Cargo target folders, and abandoned node modules silently consume 40 to 80 GB of SSD space. Drop Jim onto any project directory to safely purge stale artifacts while leaving active git branches untouched.
Old software leaves hidden launchd plists and background daemons that run silently at boot. Drop Jim onto LaunchDaemons to verify developer signatures, detect script wrappers, and sandbox relics into an APFS rollback vault.
Select your active toolchains and developer environments. Jim generates an exact audit manifest of stale build targets, orphaned language servers, and dormant persistence items he will inspect.
Choose your active developer environments to customize Jim audit targets.
Choose your uniform styling and sweeping tools.
