01 // PURPOSE
Clean “wack data” safely
Targets known developer caches and logs that can grow into tens of gigabytes without blindly deleting user documents, browser profiles, photos, credentials, or arbitrary Application Support data.
XUNIA MUSEUM // FEATURED UTILITY EXHIBIT // ZYRA
zyraZap for Mac
A local Mac cleanup utility built from the real GPT-DOUG / ZYRA storage-recovery workflow: scan first, classify disposable data, preserve important large data, verify backups, and only then reclaim space.
● PROTOTYPE v0.1.0
CHROME MV3
MAC NATIVE MESSAGING
DRY-RUN DEFAULT
ALLOWLIST ONLY
02 // CONTROL
Browser UI, bounded helper
The Chrome extension provides the dashboard. A local macOS Native Messaging helper performs filesystem inspection because Chrome extensions cannot directly manage arbitrary Mac paths.
03 // SAFETY
Fail closed
No arbitrary shell-command input. Cleanup actions are explicit allowlisted operations, with dry-run enabled by default and home-directory deletion boundaries.
04 // PROVENANCE
Born from a live recovery
The initial targets came from an actual Mac storage audit involving ZYRA SITL logs, Hugging Face caches, Claude VM bundles/caches, Cursor caches, and Codex runtime caches.
