StorageBuddy

Start by connecting everyday folders like Downloads, Desktop, and Documents, or advanced areas such as iOS backups, caches and logs. Storage Buddy scans those locations, shows how large they are, and highlights where the biggest gains might be. A dedicated Simulation mode lets you see “what would happen” without deleting anything. When you turn Simulation mode off, Clean will move items to the Bin so you can still restore files from Finder if you change your mind. For developers, an optional Pro upgrade adds support for Xcode-heavy folders such as Derived Data, Device Support and Simulator Devices, which can quietly grow to many gigabytes over time. See where your space is going Connect folders like Downloads, Desktop, Documents, iOS Backups, Caches, and Logs. Scan sizes with a single click and view a simple chart of which locations are largest. Get quick insights such as which folder currently holds the biggest share of your scanned space. Clean with confidence Use Simulation mode to preview potential free space without deleting anything. When you’re ready, turn Simulation mode off and let Clean move items to the Bin (Trash). Clear, folder-specific explanations help you decide what’s safe to tidy and what you might want to keep.
