Detox My Mac

While working on your Mac you create and download lots of files, but rarely delete anything. At some point, you find that your startup disk is full. What to do? Well, a larger disk will cost you a few hundred dollars. The yearly fee for cloud storage is about the same. Or simply get DaisyDisk at a fraction of the price and make plenty of space by removing old junk. DaisyDisk also gives you a great overview of all connected disks, be it Macintosh HD, Thunderbolt disk, flash, network storage, you name it. All displayed data are updated in real-time, so you can always tell if there’s enough space to install a new game or download an HD movie. It’s easy. Just scan a disk and see all of your files and folders as a visual interactive map. Find an unusually large file. Preview its content, and delete it if you don’t need it anymore. Only you decide what to delete. System files are protected. Use your existing storage instead of buying more of it.

MoreRoom is a native Mac app to free up space on your Mac: a disk space analyzer and storage manager for macOS 15 or later, Apple silicon and Intel. It maps your disk in seconds, biggest items first, and labels each item in plain words: "Safe to remove", "Review first" or "Your data". It explains macOS System Data, shows the space the next macOS update needs, and finds large and old files, look-alike photos, downloads, caches and big cloud files. It uninstalls apps with their leftovers. For developers: Xcode DerivedData, old simulators, iOS DeviceSupport, Android SDKs, Homebrew, Docker, node_modules, Gradle caches. Items go to the Trash first, with Undo. Scans are read-only and files never leave your Mac. Free: see everything, remove items one at a time. Pro adds removing all safe items at once, goal mode, offloading to an external drive and project hibernation, for US$19.99 a year or US$39.99 once, 3 Macs, 30-day refund.
