Mac · Storage analyzer & cleaner

Unli Disk

A disk-space analyzer, developer junk reclaim engine, and photo library cleaner for the Mac. Draws a real map of your volume, finds what’s genuinely safe to remove, and never inflates numbers to sell a scan. Native Swift and SwiftUI for Apple Silicon and Intel.

Disk

Disk map and reclaim, one screen

The donut is built from the real top-level folders on the volume, not generic categories — Users, System, Library, Applications, each its own wedge, with a “Show reclaimable” toggle that carves out what’s safe to free without a second chart.

Reclaim isn’t a separate tab: the same scan surfaces a “safe to remove now” total and a one-click “Select all safe”, and every folder row states what fraction of it is protected by macOS and can’t be measured — honesty about the unknown, not a rounded-up number.

Unli Disk’s Disk screen: a donut chart of the whole volume by top-level folder, a banner reading ‘4.24 GB is safe to remove now — 13 items the scanner is confident about’, a Reclaim Space chip showing 73.17 GB safe to free, and a Directory Breakdown list with Users, System/Library and Applications rows each showing a freeable amount.

Applications

The whole footprint

An app is rarely just its bundle. Each row adds bundle, app data and caches into one footprint, and states how much of that lives outside the bundle entirely — the part that goes unnoticed. Sort by footprint to find the weight, or by last opened to find what’s stopped earning its space.

Unli Disk’s Applications screen: 68.07 GB across 75 apps and 24.14 GB outside the app bundles, sortable by Footprint, Last opened or Name, listing each app’s bundle, app data, caches and total footprint.

Shortcuts

The tools that already exist

One tap to Apple’s own cleanup surfaces — Manage Storage, Trash, Downloads, Desktop, Time Machine, Disk Utility, iOS Backups — sitting next to shortcuts into Unli Disk’s own screens and a live Memory Pressure gauge (active, compressed, system caches, swap) read straight from the kernel, no shelling out required.

Unli Disk’s Shortcuts screen: one-tap links to Apple’s own Manage Storage, Trash, Downloads, Desktop, Time Machine, Activity Monitor and Disk Utility, plus in-app shortcuts to Photo Library and Disk Map, and a live Memory Pressure gauge.

Architecture & status

  • Platform

    Native macOS app in Swift and SwiftUI, sharing its photo engine with the iOS app via Swift Package Manager.

  • Shared engine

    The Photos tab runs on the exact same engine as ClearSpace for iOS — biggest-first sorting, previews that open immediately from the still Photos has already cached on the device, with no loading spinner, trackpad pinch-to-zoom, and finishable monthly cohorts — packaged as Packages/UnliDiskPhotos.

  • App Sandbox

    Built for the Mac App Store with minimum entitlements and security-scoped volume bookmarks.

  • Local privacy

    100% on-device. No file paths, photo metadata, or scan results ever leave the Mac.

  • Reversible safety

    Deletions move files safely to macOS Finder Trash until emptied, or to Apple Photos Recently Deleted where items remain for up to 30 days.

  • Upfront pricing

    $14.99 one-time purchase, no subscriptions. Includes Lifetime Pro in ClearSpace for iPhone and iPad (how to claim it).
