What is OmniDiskSweeper?
OmniDiskSweeper is a utility application for macOS that analyzes the disk usage on your hard drives and helps you understand what is taking up space. It scans your drive and generates an interactive visualization showing the sizes of folders and files in proportion to the total space used.
One of the key features of OmniDiskSweeper is the ability to easily spot large files that you may not need anymore and can delete to free up disk space. The visualization makes it very simple to identify the largest space hogs. You can dig down into folders to investigate where exactly the storage is being used up.
You can even view the contents of the System and User folders to clean up system files and application caches that may be taking up unnecessary gigabytes of space. OmniDiskSweeper lets you trash files and folders directly from within the app.
Beyond the core disk analysis features, OmniDiskSweeper also calculates totals and remaining space amounts and even estimates how long your drive can continue handling saves before getting full. It has a Scheduler to scan periodically and can display historical usage data.
The app is focused specifically on disk space analysis and cleanup. It is optimized for quick efficient scans of storage usage across hard drives. If you find your Mac's hard drive getting full regularly or want to do occasional cleanups, OmniDiskSweeper is an easy to use utility to identify and reclaim disk space.
