Spacie

What Spacie is

Spacie is a free disk space analyzer for Apple Silicon Macs that scans files and folders on internal, external, and network volumes. It presents storage use in sunburst and rectangular treemap views, with live scan visualization and drill-down navigation, and includes a file-type breakdown. For APFS, it can show logical and physical sizes, detect clones, and deduplicate hard links. Cleanup options include large-file listings, duplicate detection, old-file filters, and 13 built-in smart categories. Deletion uses a Drop Zone with a stage-and-confirm step before moving items to Trash, and SIP-protected paths are blocked. The README describes a POSIX scanner, a persistent binary cache, and incremental invalidation using FSEvents. Spacie can scan with reduced access when Full Disk Access is unavailable. It also offers Finder, Terminal, path-copying, and Quick Look integrations. The app requires macOS 15.0 or later and an Apple Silicon arm64 Mac. English and Russian localization is ready. Personal, educational, and research use costs nothing; commercial use requires a separate license agreement.

Who it suits

Spacie suits Apple Silicon Mac users who want to inspect disk usage and identify files for cleanup. Its stated free use covers personal, educational, and research purposes.

Limits

The free 0.00 USD plan covers personal, educational, and research use. Commercial use requires a separate license agreement, and reduced access may apply without Full Disk Access.

Getting started

1. Open the Spacie GitHub repository
2. Confirm the Mac runs macOS 15.0 or later
3. Confirm the Mac uses Apple Silicon arm64
4. Use Spacie on personal, educational, or research work, or arrange a commercial license
5. Scan files and folders on an internal, external, or network volume

Verdict

Spacie pairs detailed volume scanning with multiple cleanup filters and a staged deletion flow. Its requirements are limited to newer macOS and Apple Silicon, and commercial use needs a separate license agreement.
