About
Pool Problem is a disk attribution and governance tool for developers. It measures the flow rate of each disk-waste source — Xcode build artifacts, simulator snapshots, package manager caches — predicts when your disk will fill up, and explains why space comes back after cleaning. Instead of a one-time cleanup, it manages the inflow at the source so your free space stays at a healthy level.
