FileHunter: Disk Space Scanner

See what is filling your Mac. Choose a folder or drive and watch the biggest files and folders rise to the top while FileHunter scans.

Find where the space went.

FileHunter ranks the largest files and the heaviest folders on the folder or drive you choose, with results that appear while the scan runs. It only reads: nothing is deleted, moved or uploaded.

Largest files first

Files are ranked by the space they really use on disk. Stop the scan at any time and keep everything found so far.

Folders that add up

See folders full of small files—caches, build products, mail attachments—that no single-file list would show, plus app data grouped by app and space by file type.

Honest totals

Hard-linked files are counted once, cloud-only files are called out rather than counted as local space, and possible duplicates are matched by name and size.

Read-only by design

FileHunter never deletes, moves, renames or uploads anything. Export a detailed report of the large files when you want to look deeper.

Files, folders, apps, file types and possible duplicates, side by side in one window.

FileHunter's Largest files list for a scanned drive, led by virtual machine disks, video exports and a disk image — The largest files, ranked by the space they use.

FileHunter's Folders view showing a browser cache and a build folder that each hold thousands of small files — Folders where thousands of small files add up.

FileHunter's Duplicates view listing a virtual machine disk, a video export, a disk image and a backup archive, each found in two places — Possible duplicates, matched by name and size.

What FileHunter can see

FileHunter scans only the folder or drive you choose, and remembers that choice for the next scan. To scan as much of your Mac as macOS allows, choose Macintosh HD. macOS keeps some locations, such as Mail, Messages and Photos, private unless you give FileHunter Full Disk Access in System Settings; without it, FileHunter lists the folders it could not read instead of failing.

FileHunter is for Mac and requires macOS 14 or later.
