Disk Map

Disk Map is a handy app for macOS that helps you manage your disk space. Since disk space is limited, it’s super important to keep track of what you’re storing, especially those large files that can take up a lot of room.

How to Use Disk Map

Getting started with Disk Map is pretty simple! You can either use the Finder menu to point the app at a specific folder or just drag and drop any folder right onto the app’s main window. It’s as easy as that!

Scan Your Files

Once you've set everything up, hit the scan button. After it runs, you’ll see how many files were analyzed and the total size they take up. The cool part? Disk Map can scan both internal and external drives, so you're covered no matter where your files are stored.

Filter Out Unwanted Files

If you want to focus on bigger files, Disk Map lets you filter out smaller ones. You can tweak the minimum file size in the app's Preferences; by default, it skips files smaller than 50Kb. This makes cleaning up your storage way easier!

Visualize Your Storage

The app creates a tree-map display that shows you which folders are taking up the most space and what's inside them. If you've got lots of small files cluttering things up, don't worry—Disk Map groups them together for a clearer view.

File Management Made Easy

You can also see where each file lives in its folder structure. Need to check something? Just open it in Finder or use QuickLook to peek at its content without opening it fully! Plus, if you're looking to free up some space, Disk Map lets you delete or compress those unwanted files.

Your Space Optimization Tool

The tree-map view makes it super easy to spot which files are hogging all your disk space. From there, you can decide: delete what you don’t need anymore, add certain items to an ignore list if they’re important but still take up space, or compress them for better storage efficiency.

Extra Features for Ease of Use

To help streamline your process even more, Disk Map can ignore tiny files and even show or hide hidden/system files as needed. And don't worry about accidentally deleting something important; there's a queue feature that keeps track of files set for deletion until you're sure about getting rid of them!
