Audit known bloat
Scan high-signal hidden-storage locations, large app folders, and common creator/developer caches.
Local-first Mac Storage Auditor
Audit hidden Mac storage. Clean up confidently.
Download the evaluation build to audit hidden System Data, app caches, developer artifacts, and photo-workflow bloat. Use an access code to unlock cleanup and PDF reports.
The storage problem
Macs run out of space long before users know what is safe to remove.
Apple Storage can say that System Data is huge. It rarely explains which Library folder, tool cache, app resource, or generated artifact is responsible. nomospace turns that uncertainty into a short, risk-labeled cleanup plan.
Built first for Mac photographers, creators, developers, and family tech helpers dealing with unexplained System Data, app caches, or full disks they cannot safely interpret on their own.
Solution
One workflow between hidden storage and safe cleanup.
Explain risk
Each finding shows the path, source, cleanup label, and what may happen if the item is removed.
Unlock cleanup
Evaluation mode shows findings first. An access code enables Trash-first cleanup and local PDF reports.
Rule library
The value is in the cleanup decision, not another storage chart.
nomospace focuses on high-pain Mac storage patterns and gives each finding a plain-English risk label before anything is selected.
- Safe and usually safe cache rules can be selected quickly.
- Browser profiles, cloud folders, and personal files stay review-only.
- Evaluation mode proves the findings before asking users to unlock cleanup.
Storage pattern
Default
What it explains
Apple aerial wallpaper videos
Review
Hidden Apple downloads that can consume tens of GB without obvious user action.
Adobe, Lightroom, and photo caches
Safe
Rebuildable previews, Camera Raw cache, and workflow storage created by creator apps.
Xcode derived data and simulators
Usually Safe
Developer artifacts that grow quietly and can usually be recreated after cleanup.
npm, pnpm, pip, and uv caches
Safe
Package downloads and build caches that tools redownload when needed.
Browser and personal folders
Review
Visible storage without blind cleanup, because profiles and personal data need judgment.
Review and protected findings are shown for visibility, not auto-selected.
Trust model
Cleaner apps lose trust when they hide risk. nomospace puts it up front.
No upload behavior
Findings, file names, paths, browser data, and cleanup history stay on the Mac. Browser-related findings are marked for review, not inspected for passwords.
Risk labels before action
Safe, Usually Safe, Review, and Protected labels make cleanup decisions explicit.
Trash-first cleanup
Full access moves selected items to macOS Trash, not permanent deletion. Users empty Trash later if the result looks right.
Permission clarity
Skipped paths are shown so users know when Full Disk Access would improve accuracy.
Positioning
Not a generic cleaner. A storage investigator.
Apple Storage
Shows broad categories, not enough cause.
Generic cleaners
Often hide exact paths or miss app-generated bloat.
Terminal commands
Powerful, but risky for non-technical users.
nomospace
Explains hidden storage, labels cleanup risk, and moves selected items to Trash.
