Classify, not just size
Regenerable caches, downloads, app data, system files, and personal libraries get different labels.

Mac disk space visualizer
A disk space visualizer that tells you what is safe to delete.
Every storage tool can show you what is big. SwoopByte Disk does the scarier next step: it tells you what is safe to remove, what to keep, and what should never be touched — and it names the "System Data" culprits macOS hides.

The gap
Most disk tools stop right when the decision gets risky.
A colorful map is helpful, but it does not tell a normal user whether a 22 GB folder is disposable cache, a project dependency, or their only copy of a photo library. Disk wins by explaining the next action.
Preview every item
The user sees what will move, why it is suggested, and how much space it represents.
Move to Trash
Cleanup is reversible until the Trash is emptied. No silent permanent deletion.
Protect important data
System folders, app containers, cloud folders, and personal libraries are never treated as generic junk.
Free vs Pro
Start free. Seeing, understanding, and safe cleaning cost nothing.
The swoop, the Space Map, the full System Data breakdown, duplicate detection, the one-click cache clean, and every safety label ship free. Pro adds the heavy reclaim actions and automation — one-time $14.99, no subscription.

Two different jobs
Clearing space, or removing an app?
SwoopByte Disk shows what is using your whole drive and safely reclaims space from files and caches you no longer need — including developer caches from tools you keep. If you just want one specific app, and every file it left behind, gone, that is a different job. See SwoopByte Uninstaller →
