New: DiscScanner shows what is filling your Mac
DiscScanner shows what is taking up space on your Mac while the scan is still running. You can delete straight from the app.
by NoiXdev
Sooner or later your Mac tells you the disk is almost full. Then comes the obvious question: where did it all go? The Finder doesn’t help much with that.
With DiscScanner you pick a folder or a whole volume and watch the results fill in while the scan runs. Everything is sorted by size. If something turns out to be too big, you can delete it right where you found it.
What it does
- Live scanning. The tree grows and the sizes count up as you watch. Cancel any time and you keep the partial result.
- Several ways to look. A list like the Finder’s, a treemap where big files are big rectangles, and charts.
- Clean up on the spot. Delete one item or a whole selection, to the Trash or permanently. Sizes update right away.
- Compare over time. Save a scan and compare it with a later one to see what grew, shrank, appeared or vanished.
- No dead ends. Protected folders are marked and skipped instead of stopping the scan.
