WHAT IT DOES
What does it do?
BTN is a macOS menu bar app for safely reclaiming space and memory left by development tools. It moves old DerivedData and XCTest data to the Trash so they can be restored, and lets users inspect each item's reason and path before selecting it. It says diagnostics and cleanup decisions run on the Mac using rules, without remote analytics or uploads of user files.
