Jharu: Cleaning Dev Junk from Mac and PC

Stop pretending you're actually going to manually delete those thousands of node_modules folders and build caches from projects you abandoned six months ago. Your hard drive is basically a graveyard of forgotten npm packages and temporary build files, and we both know you're too lazy to hunt them down.

Enter Jharu, an open-source cleaner specifically designed for the "dev junk" that standard system cleaners usually ignore. Instead of just clearing your browser cache, this thing targets the actual bloat—dependency folders, build artifacts, and the general digital debris that comes with being a developer.

If you want to reclaim your disk space without accidentally deleting your entire OS, here is the basic deployment:

1. Clone the repo from the source.
2. Run the installation script for your specific OS (Mac or PC).
3. Let it scan for the usual suspects (like those massive node_modules folders).
4. Hit delete and feel that momentary sense of productivity.

The real-world value here is that it's open-source and focused. You don't need a bloated "System Optimizer" that tries to sell you a monthly subscription just to empty your trash. It’s a straightforward AI-powered approach to identifying what is actually junk and what isn't.

Is it worth it? If you're currently staring at a "Disk Space Low" warning while trying to install a new IDE, yes. If you have a 4TB NVMe drive and don't care about waste, then keep hoarding your junk.
