Indie dev launches WTMemory, a 794 KB Mac cleaner that hunts down local LLM weights

Indie developer saibharadwaj launched WTMemory on Product Hunt: a 794 KB, fully offline, zero-tracking Mac utility. Inspecting is free; Pro cleanup is a one-time $9 for up to 3 Macs with lifetime updates (launch code PHLAUNCH until Sept 19).
The differentiator: legacy cleaners show generic "System Junk," while WTMemory targets the new background weight on dev Macs — local AI model hoards (e.g. 42.7 GB of Ollama weights like llama3.3 and deepseek-r1), HuggingFace cache snapshots, orphaned dev servers, and renderer helpers. A sample M-series scan surfaced 94 GB reclaimable. It also bundles one-click cleanup, killing heavy apps and dev servers, and DNS cache flushing.
Built for personal use and run daily since April, it's a solid indie monetization case: quiet PH launch but steady downloads.
