What your AI agents left inside System Data

Yes. The full scan, every row and its details, and the monitoring alerts work without a license. Moving files to Quarantine, archiving and removing need a license.

Not by default. Nothing comes selected, and nothing is removed until you choose Apply. Items you already put in Quarantine are removed after 7 days; that happens when Wipecraft opens and during the daily check. Three optional settings can move or remove items without you pressing Apply, once you turn them on: cleanup rules (Settings > Automatic cleanup), tidying a finished worktree after a Claude Code session, and cleaning through MCP when an agent asks. All three are off by default, and each goes through the same checks as the app: locked rows and items that changed since the scan are refused.

The sessions it has open, anything it changed in the last 24 hours, and the worktree it works in are locked. For Claude Code, the latest month of the project it works in is locked too. Older sessions stay selectable. If Wipecraft cannot tell whether a tool is running, those rows stay locked until the next scan.

Wipecraft offers a worktree whose repository is present only when it is clean, unchanged for 7 days (by default), and its commits are on the main branch or on a remote. Commits on its branch stay in the repository. A worktree whose commits are on no branch is not offered. The exception is a worktree whose main repository was moved or deleted: git cannot check it, so Wipecraft offers it after 30 days without changes (the default) and moves the whole folder to Quarantine, where Restore brings it back.

For two things: your license (when you activate it, with your Mac's name as the activation label; once per launch to check it; and when you remove it from a Mac) and update checks. One optional check asks GitHub, through your own gh login, whether a branch's pull request was merged. It sends branch names and commit IDs, runs only when gh is installed and signed in, and you can switch it off in Settings. Wipecraft sends no file names, paths or scan results. The privacy page lists what each call contains.

Wipecraft sends nothing. The plugin and wipecraft mcp pass results to the agent on your Mac. /wipecraft:status gives Claude the scan output, including folder paths, and the session-start line gives it one line with sizes, so Claude's provider receives what you see in that session. The same holds for any agent you connect through MCP.

Not unless you turn it on. Reading is always allowed. Cleaning through MCP is off until you switch it on in Settings > Agents, needs a license, shows a plan before it applies, and does for each id it names what wipecraft clean --apply does: caches, logs and temporary files that their app rebuilds are removed directly and cannot be restored, other files move to Quarantine for 7 days, session histories go to the Archive, and a finished worktree is removed with git. Actions marked "Irreversible" are refused. Tidying after a Claude Code session is a separate switch, also off by default.

They are part of Developer mode. It adds coding agents, worktrees, Xcode, simulators, package caches and Docker. It is on by default when Wipecraft finds a ~/.claude folder or Xcode; otherwise turn it on in Settings > Developer mode. It applies to the next scan.

macOS lets apps read some folders, such as Mail downloads, Messages attachments and iOS backups, only with Full Disk Access. You can skip it. Your user folders are still scanned, and Wipecraft tells you which folders it could not count.

Everything keeps working, and nothing locks. Wipecraft checks the license again the next time it opens with a connection.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. Wipecraft is sold directly, not on the Mac App Store. The interface is in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Russian, Italian and Turkish, in light and dark mode. It follows the language of your Mac.
