Spacebar's Overview: a disk usage bar by category, what grew, and cleanup categories

Know where the space went

Measured, not estimated, and explained in plain words.

Disk breakdown

macOS, Apps, Documents, Developer, App Data, iCloud, Mail and more. Click any slice to explore it.

System Data, explained

Swap, temporary files, logs, a waiting macOS update, snapshots: each part says whether it's safe to remove.

Storage per app

What every app really costs: the app plus its data, caches and settings, with Clear Cache and Uninstall.

What grew, and a forecast

Folders that grew this week, and "at this rate, your disk is full in about 5 weeks".

Space Explorer

Any folder as a sorted list or a treemap, with search, Quick Look and keyboard navigation.

Live and instant

Sizes update as files change, and launch catches up on what changed while Spacebar was closed.

Clean up without worrying

You review everything first, and almost everything can be put back.

Smart suggestions

Caches nobody used in a month, app leftovers, duplicates, forgotten downloads, old simulators, project build folders.

History with Put Back

Every clean is listed and can be put back while its items are in the Trash.

Your own rules

"DMGs in Downloads older than 30 days", "node_modules untouched for 3 months". Matches go to the Trash.

Keep in the cloud only

Free the local copy of big iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive files you don't open.

Uninstaller

Drop an app on the window to remove it with everything it left in your Library.

Gentle by design

Uses at most half your Mac while scanning, at background priority, so it never gets in the way.

For the terminal and Shortcuts

The same rules and safety checks, from anywhere.

spacebar status                    # free space on the startup disk
spacebar scan                      # sizes and suggestions for every category
spacebar clean --safe --dry-run    # what a safe clean would remove
spacebar show ~/Downloads          # open a folder in Space Explorer

Shortcuts actions: Free Up Space, Get Available Space and Show Folder in Spacebar. In Finder, right-click a folder and choose Show in Spacebar.

Safe and private

In English, Turkish, Spanish and German, with VoiceOver labels and keyboard navigation.
