See what's eating your Mac's storage. Clear it with confidence.
Apple Silicon-native disk visualizer. Find duplicate dev directories, manage screenshots, identify large files and stale projects. Quarantine first, hard-delete when you're sure. Open source. No telemetry. Ever.
$9.99 one-time on the App Store. Free if you build it yourself. Same app either way.
What it does
Treemap visualization
Interactive map of every directory under your home and Library. Click to drill in, color-coded by category.
Duplicate dev directories
Finds node_modules, .venv, target, DerivedData, and __pycache__ across stale projects. Knows the difference between local artifacts and shared package caches.
Screenshot manager
Gallery view for every Screen Shot on your desktop. Bulk delete or one-by-one with keyboard shortcuts.
Stale-project detection
Cross-references git log, lockfile age, and remote sync to surface projects you haven't touched in 90+ days that are safe to clean.
APFS clone aware
Detects copy-on-write clones so we never inflate your potential savings with bytes that aren't actually duplicated.
Quarantine first
Automated cleanups move files to a 7-day quarantine before any unlink. Manual selections hard-delete by default — your call.
Reclaim files from deleted user accounts
Deleted a macOS user but kept their home folder? Those files are still owned by the old UID and unreadable by your account — even with Full Disk Access, since Unix permissions still apply.
Run the one-liner. It lists every orphaned home directory under /Users, lets you pick which to claim, and chowns them to your account. After that the App
Store version of Mac Storage Clear (with FDA + a folder grant for /Users) can scan and delete them like anything else.
Source: scripts/claim-orphaned-home.sh · MIT · refuses to operate outside /Users · prompts before changing anything.

Buying on the App Store gets you signed, notarized binaries, automatic updates, and family sharing. Building from source gets you the same app for free, plus the ability to scan across multiple user accounts via a privileged helper (which the App Store sandbox prohibits).
Either way, all your data stays on your machine. Always.
