Mac Storage Analyzer and Cleanup Features

See what's using your Mac's disk space and use focused tools to find large files, duplicates, forgotten apps, and storage growth.

Storage Map

See where every gigabyte went

A visual map of your whole disk, grouped by folder. Click into any block to drill down until you find exactly what's taking up space — no guessing, no digging through Finder.

Duplicates

Stop paying rent on the same file twice

Byte-for-byte duplicate detection with real thumbnails, so you can see exactly what you're removing before you remove it. One file is always recommended to keep — you decide the rest.

Storage Timeline

Watch your storage over time, not just right now

Every other cleaner shows you a snapshot. Storage Detective remembers — a growth chart of your disk usage over weeks, with a breakdown of exactly which folders grew and by how much.

Smart Uninstaller

Find the apps you forgot you installed

Sorted by when you actually last opened them — not file-modified date, which resets on every auto-update. One click removes the app and every leftover file it left behind.
