Detox My Mac

Sometimes we make software for us, and we love it so much we make it available to you, too. Quickly find large, unwanted files and sweep them into the trash. OmniDiskSweeper shows you the files on your drive, largest to smallest, and lets you quickly Trash or open them. OmniDiskSweeper 1.12 is our free app for finding disk space on your Mac, and we just updated it for Catalina (macOS 10.15)! It shows you everything on your hard drive, ranked by size, so you can see which files and folders are taking up a lot of space, which helps you figure out what you can delete, or move somewhere else, so you can free up disk space. The updates for Catalina include a Dark Mode About Panel, fixed handling of Catalina volumes, and removal of an unneeded notification. But do note that Catalina will ask for permissions for OmniDiskSweeper to access various things, it might ask, for instance, if it can access your contacts.

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.
