Bytesweep, the Mac cleaner that names the thing before deleting it
A storage visualizer and cleanup tool for macOS and Linux that identifies what is consuming disk space and warns before removal.
Field notes
The page organizes storage into eight visual views, including treemap, sunburst, flame, bubbles, and mind-map formats, then separates findings into safe-to-clear, worth-a-look, and do-not-delete categories. Its examples are unusually concrete: Docker data, Xcode output, local model weights, SSH keys, unpushed Git history, virtual machines, and open databases. The stated workflow keeps removal manual and places deleted material in a restore point for a configurable period, with seven days given as the default example.
