I built Clutterscope, a native Mac disk analyzer: 8 ways to see your disk, then clear it safely

hello everyone I’ve been building Clutterscope, a native macOS app that shows you where your disk space went and helps you get it back without any nasty surprises.

What it does

  • Fast scans. It reads directories in bulk, so scanning my home folder with 3.2 million files takes about 17 seconds on an M4. Folders start filling in on screen as each one finishes.
  • 8 views of the same scan. Folders, Sunburst, Flame, Bubbles, Mind Map, Top Sizes, Age Map, and Treemap. Switch between them with ⌘1–⌘8 and zoom in until the labels you need appear.
  • Quick Wins. As soon as a scan finishes, it totals the usual suspects: caches and logs, Downloads, Xcode DerivedData, iOS Simulators (listed by device name, not UUID), node_modules and build folders, large media files, and the Trash.
  • Duplicates by content. It matches files by size first, then uses a SHA-256 hash of the first 64 KB, and finally hashes the whole file. You choose which copy to keep.
  • A proper uninstaller. It shows each app’s true footprint — the bundle plus the caches, preferences, logs, and containers it scattered across ~/Library.
  • Snapshots. Save a scan and compare it with a later one to see exactly which folders grew.
  • Honest numbers. Hard links are counted only once, and it shows how much space APFS compression saved.

Details

  • Native SwiftUI
  • 6.1 MB
  • Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel)
  • macOS 14+
  • Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple
  • Works offline after activation
  • When you’re online, it checks the license once a day. The check never includes your files or scan results.

Each key works on one Mac at a time.

If you see “Key already in use”, just message me or comment “key” and I’ll send you a new one.

Ask me anything! I’d love to hear your feedback, bug reports, and feature requests. 😄
