Kondo is a command-line utility that automatically identifies and removes bloated dependency folders and build artifacts from your development projects. Instead of manually hunting down node_modules, target, build, and similar directories, kondo scans your project structure and safely removes these space-consuming files with a confirmation prompt.

The tool supports over 20 project types including Rust (Cargo), Node.js, Python (Pixi, Jupyter), Java (Maven, Gradle), C/C++ (CMake), PHP (Composer), C# (.NET, Unity), Dart (Pub), Haskell (Stack, Cabal), Swift, Zig, Elixir, Scala (SBT), and more. This broad compatibility makes it invaluable for developers working across multiple languages and frameworks.

Key benefits include:

Reclaim gigabytes of storage by removing accumulated dependencies without losing source code
Backup projects efficiently without including massive dependency folders
Filter by age to target only projects you haven't touched in months
Cross-platform support with both CLI and GUI interfaces available
Safe operation with confirmation prompts before deletion

Whether you're managing multiple experimental projects, preparing code for backup, or simply optimizing disk space, kondo handles the cleanup automatically across your entire development environment.
