How to install

Files & AppsStorage

Find what is filling your disk. Remove it without guessing.

Storage measures your disk once and keeps the result. Everything else works from that: a map of where the space went, cleanup suggestions, a search of every file name, a duplicate finder and an uninstaller. Whatever you remove, you see the exact paths first.

Where the gigabytes went

One scan, then a picture. The Space Map draws every folder and file as a tile whose area is its share of the disk, with files coloured by kind. Prefer lists? Largest files, largest folders and file types are one click away.

This is how the app shows itStorage · Space Map

  1. Scan once, refresh in seconds. After the first scan, only folders that changed are read again.
  2. Pause and carry on. A long scan can be paused and resumed, even after a restart.
  3. What changed since last week? Keep a baseline and see what grew.

02Cleanup2 of 6

Suggestions, never surprises

Cleanup lists the places that are usually safe to clear: caches, logs, temporary files, Xcode and package manager caches, project build folders. Each comes with its size and a plain note about what clearing it costs. Nothing is ticked until you tick it.

This is how the app shows itStorage · Cleanup

  1. Built for developers too. Build folders are offered only where there is real evidence of a project.
  2. See what grew back. Cleared a cache last month? Cleanup shows whether it filled up again.
  3. Protect anything. Exclude a folder once and no cleanup tool will ever offer it.

03The review3 of 6

You see every path before anything moves

Storage, Locate, Duplicates and Apps all end at the same sheet. It lists the exact paths, in full. Move to Trash is the main button. Delete Permanently sits apart in a red frame and is never remembered.

This is how the app shows itReview Cleanup Suggestions

  1. Checked twice. Each item is verified when you review and again just before it moves. If it changed, it is skipped.
  2. Some things are refused. System folders, your home folder, running apps. No permission overrides that.
  3. A receipt every time. With the result for each path.

04Duplicates4 of 6

Identical means verified

Files of the same size are only candidates. l/Activity compares their contents in full before it calls them identical, then suggests which copy to keep and selects the rest. A separate view groups photos that merely look alike, for looking only.

This is how the app shows itDuplicates · Identical files

  1. One copy always stays. Select Extras never touches the keeper, and the copies are compared again before removal.
  2. No false confidence. Unverified groups are labelled unverified.

05Locate5 of 6

Any file, by name, at once

Locate searches every file and folder name from your last scan. Type a few letters and the results are there, with full paths, sizes and dates. Filter by kind, folder, size or date, or switch to approximate matching when you only half remember the name.

This is how the app shows itLocate

  1. Preview without opening. Space for Quick Look, one click to reveal in Finder.
  2. Also from ⌘K. Search or jump to finds saved file names from any page.

06Apps6 of 6

Uninstall the app, and what it left behind

Dragging an app to the Trash leaves its caches, settings and support files where they were. Apps finds them, shows the evidence that ties each one to the app, and lets you decide what goes. It can also look for leftovers from apps you removed long ago.

This is how the app shows itApps · Uninstall

  1. By evidence, not by guess. Only files that carry the app’s exact identifier are offered.
  2. Your data is your call. Related files start unticked, because they can hold documents and sign-in data.
  3. Homebrew updates, reviewed. Check and update cask apps when you ask.

07Honest sizes

What the numbers on this page mean

  1. ≥ means "at least"

    A folder that could not be fully measured shows a lower bound, not a guess.

  2. Two sizes

    On disk is the space taken. File size is the length of the contents. They can differ.

  3. Shared space is not attributed

    Copies can share space, and macOS keeps snapshots. That space is shown apart, not pinned on a folder.

  4. Trash is not free space

    Removed items sit in the Trash until you empty it yourself.
