What the publisher says
From the Derived repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Derived A native macOS menu-bar application for inspecting and removing storage created by Xcode, Simulator, and XCTest.
[!CAUTION]
Derived permanently deletes selected developer data instead of moving it to the Trash. Review the cleanup plan before confirming deletion.
Overview
Derived finds and removes storage created by Xcode, Simulator, and XCTest. It reports verified reclaimable space, keeps APFS clone sizes separate, and protects active or high-risk targets.
Use Derived through the macOS app, the derived CLI, or the local derived-mcp server. All three interfaces use the same scanner, path validation, and cleanup workflow. Derived runs locally and does not collect analytics.
Install the macOS app
Homebrew (recommended)
brew tap adiaz0511/derived
brew trust adiaz0511/derived
brew install --cask derivedThe trust command is required once for the third-party tap.
Update the app with:
brew update
brew upgrade --cask derivedDisk image
- Download the DMG from the latest GitHub release.
- Open the disk image.
- Drag Derived.app to Applications.
- Open Derived from Applications.
Install the CLI and MCP server
The agent tools include the derived CLI, the derived-mcp server, and the derived-cleanup skill. The macOS app is not required.
Homebrew (recommended)
brew tap adiaz0511/derived
brew trust adiaz0511/derived
brew install --cask derived-tools
derived integrations installderived integrations install detects Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor on the Mac. It registers the MCP server and installs the skill for each detected client.
Update the tools and refresh their integrations with:
derived integrations updateThe CLI checks for new versions at most once per day during interactive commands. Update notices never appear in JSON or MCP output.
Disk image
The latest Derived DMG also includes Derived Agent Tools for installation without Homebrew.
- Open the DMG.
- Open Derived Agent Tools.
- Select Install for Codex.
- Restart Codex.
When the app and DMG-installed tools are both present, Derived offers to update the tools after an app update. Without the app, download the latest DMG and run Derived Agent Tools again.
MCPB installation
Clients that support MCPB bundles can install Derived-MCP-VERSION-macOS-universal.mcpb from the latest release. The MCPB contains the MCP server, but it does not install the derived CLI or portable skill.
Use Derived with coding agents
Check which clients are configured:
derived --version
derived integrations statusThen start a new session in Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor and ask:
Use $derived-cleanup to scan my developer storage.See Agent Integrations for client-specific commands, manual configuration, and uninstallation.
Use the CLI
The CLI provides aligned tables for interactive use and JSON for scripts and agents.

- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is Derived maintained?
- The last commit was 71 days ago (2026-08-23). The latest release is v0.2.0.
- What can I use instead of Derived?
