Bytesweep, the Mac cleaner that names the thing before deleting it

Editorial interest 87/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A storage visualizer and cleanup tool for macOS and Linux that identifies what is consuming disk space and warns before removal.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

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.
