About 5x5 Labs

5x5 Labs (legal name: Fifth of Fifth Technology) is an independent macOS software studio. We build focused desktop utilities for people who want their Mac to feel like a Mac — fast, quiet, and out of the way.

Why we built Unclutter

We kept watching friends, family, and colleagues hit "Your startup disk is almost full" warnings on Macs that should have had hundreds of gigabytes free. Every time we looked, the missing space was sitting in places macOS doesn't surface: browser caches, Xcode derived data, leftover app support files from apps uninstalled years ago.

The existing tools either felt aggressive and adware-adjacent or were buried inside subscription bundles that cost more per year than a one-time utility should. We wanted something narrower: scan, show, clean, done. So we built it.

Our principles

• One-time pricing. Software you bought a year ago should still work, without re-billing you.
• Local-first. Unclutter runs entirely on your Mac. No scan data leaves your device.
• Show before doing. Every cleanup target is listed by name before anything is deleted.
• Focused scope. Unclutter does cleanup. It does not bundle antivirus, performance optimizers, VPN trials, or anything else.

Other things we make

We also build Foldr.space — a free, no-account file storage and sharing tool for short-lived handoffs.
