See what's eating your Mac's storage

Clear Storage scans your Mac and shows the truth in four interactive views — then finds the duplicates, old downloads, forgotten files and developer junk you can safely clean up. Everything runs on your device.

Scan, review, reclaim

One scan across your Photos library and folders — results grouped so you always review before removing.

Review everything before it goes

Nothing is deleted behind your back. Scan results are grouped by category — duplicates, downloads, screenshots, large files, old files, developer junk, empty folders — with file names, sizes and dates visible, so you decide exactly what to remove and what to keep.

Watch the space come back

Every cleanup session is logged. The history shows how much space you've reclaimed over time, and a menu bar icon keeps your current disk usage visible at all times — so a filling disk never sneaks up on you again.

How it works

Three steps to a lighter Mac

1

Scan

One tap scans your Photos library and the folders you choose. All analysis runs on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.

2

Review

Results arrive grouped by category with sizes and dates. The visualizer shows your storage as a ring chart, treemap, bar chart or heatmap.

3

Clean up

Remove what you've selected, watch the freed space add up, and track your progress in the built-in history.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I see what's taking up space on my Mac?
Run a scan and open the disk visualizer — ring chart, treemap, bar chart or activity heatmap — while scan results group cleanable files by category. Learn more →
Can it find duplicate files?
Yes. It detects files with identical content regardless of filename, and separately flags files that share a name but differ in size or content. Learn more →
Does it find similar photos, not just exact copies?
Yes. Perceptual image analysis catches visually similar shots — like near-identical burst frames — in your Photos library. Learn more →
Can it clean my Downloads folder?
Yes. It surfaces old DMG installers, PKG files, ZIP archives, images and videos sitting in Downloads for review. Learn more →
Can it delete Xcode DerivedData and developer caches?
Yes. The Developer Folders scan finds DerivedData, build artifacts, and SPM and CocoaPods caches in folders you grant access to. Learn more →
How do I find large or old files?
The Large Files scan locates the biggest files in folders you choose; the Old Files scan finds files untouched for months. Learn more →
Can it find old screenshots and screen recordings?
Yes — in both your Photos library and local folders. Learn more →
Will it delete files without asking?
No. Every scan shows results for review first; you select what goes. Sessions are logged in history. Learn more →
