Setting up
Using the app
- Cleanup, the Trash and undoWhat a cleanup moves, what a tool's own command removes, and how Undo, Put Back and Empty Trash work.
- The menu bar and alertsWhat the menu bar item measures, the low-space and growth alerts, the Trash watcher and the update check.
- AI explanations and privacyWhat Best Guess tells you about an item no rule explains, what it's given, and why it never decides anything.
How it works
- Explain before you deleteTry the app's review on a test Mac: every item, its size, what it is and what removing it would mean, before anything moves.
- What it never touchesThe places the app refuses whatever a rule says, what happens to folders no rule explains, and the checks before every move.
- Where the space goes on a developer's MacXcode, simulators, Docker, node_modules, AI models, backups and snapshots: what fills a Mac, how safe each is to remove, and how.
- How the app counts spaceWhy Finder, Storage settings and the app show different numbers: purgeable space, snapshots, clones, sparse files, hard links and System Data.
Your license and more
- Licensing and activationsHow Pro is licensed: one payment, up to 3 Macs, and moving a license to another Mac.
- Updates and feedbackHow the app updates itself, getting or leaving betas, what Send Feedback puts in an email, and what the app reports about itself.
