Glomeris
Evidence-first, policy-constrained developer storage autopilot for macOS.
What
When a developer machine enters disk pressure, Glomeris discovers meaningful
reclaimable storage, explains why a resource is or is not safe to remove,
avoids disrupting active work, and executes only policy-approved typed
cleanup actions — re-measuring actual freed bytes until a target is reached
or no safe action remains.
Why
AI can recommend. Policy decides. Executor verifies. Filesystem reality
wins.
Glomeris is not a generic du, not a cache-path list, not a system
optimizer, and not an LLM that emits rm -rf. An optional BYOK LLM planner
may rank and explain ambiguous candidates, but it can only select from a
typed, closed set of known actions — it can never invent or execute a raw
command, and it can never upgrade a PROTECTED resource to safe.
⚠️ Safety status
This is an experimental MVP, not a stable release. It does not promise
universal safe deletion. Read the safety model before running any
non-dry-run cleanup.
Install
Build from source (requires Rust/Cargo):
git clone https://github.com/Chisanan232/glomeris.git
cd glomeris
cargo build --release
Prebuilt macOS binaries for aarch64-apple-darwin and x86_64-apple-darwin
are published with checksums under
Releases.
There is also a menu-bar app (macos/GlomerisMenuBar), built from this repo
with Xcode. It is a thin client over the same binary — see the
Menu Bar App page.
Quick start
glomeris --help # every command, grouped by what it can do
glomeris detect # what tool caches exist here
glomeris clean --dry-run # the real plan, executing nothing
detect, scan, explain, clean and llm-plan never mutate anything.
execute, free, emergency and autopilot run delete — read the
safety model first.
