    "why": "The real question for a disk cleaner is not how much it removes but whether it removes the wrong thing; MangoDisk scans read-only by default, makes you review every item before deletion, uninstall or settings changes, and logs the result in Operation History. One app covers system and browser caches, developer caches such as Xcode, Docker and Node.js project build artifacts, local AI models, duplicate and large files, app leftovers, startup items and a treemap, and the cleanup rule library is published in the repository. It is built with Tauri 2 and Rust and has a Korean README.",
