Klarity
What Klarity is
Klarity is a macOS storage viewer that maps files and folders by size and age. Treemap and icicle views let users explore disk usage, while a file-type breakdown groups content by format. Its Large Files view lists items by size and shows how long each has remained unchanged. Klarity scans mounted internal, external, USB, and network drives. Version 1.3.1 is described as scanning hidden locations such as Library to reveal storage macOS categorizes as System Data. Deletion sends items to the Trash; folders of 1 GB or more require a slide confirmation, and protected system folders remain unavailable. The app includes a RAM monitor and menu-bar readout for memory and disk use. The maker says Klarity operates locally, makes no network connections, works offline, and collects no analytics or personal data. It supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, using approximately 15 MB of disk space. Klarity costs $6.99 a month, billed as a one-time purchase.
