Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 4, Documentation: 3, Utility: 5)

Backspace is a macOS disk diagnostic tool that helps developers find what filled their disk, focusing on Docker and Xcode caches. It queries container runtimes (OrbStack, Docker Desktop, Colima, Podman) for their actual storage locations rather than assuming default paths, and identifies orphaned volumes.

Target audience: macOS developers and DevOps engineers
