Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst/issues/445

Describe the bug
psst on macOS takes a lot of disk space (11 GB) after a while (about 8 months with frequent use). The cache folder does not seem to get cleaned up.

To Reproduce
Use psst for a while and observe cache folder growing in size.

Expected behavior

psst should clean up unused cache
it would be nice if psst would limit the cache size (maybe via an option)
having a button to clean up the cache via settings would also be nice

Environment

OS: macOS Ventura 13.6.1
Version: a8922f6 (built on 2023-10-05 01:20:31.086787 +00:00)

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

I'm not familiar in-depth with how the caching system works, but we should definitely have a size limit and a clear button.
