Description
Running out of disk space on your Mac is frustrating. Whether it is the "Disk Almost Full" warning, "System Data" taking up half your drive or hidden cache files left behind by apps you used months ago, finding what is eating your storage should be easy. DiskCompanion was built to give Mac owners their storage back quickly, safely and transparently. Weighing just 6 MB and built using Swift, DiskCompanion scans your Mac in seconds, visually maps your drive and safely removes gigabytes of clutter.

Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and basic cache-clearing commands are straightforward, macOS disk utilities require handling strict sandboxing, Full Disk Access permissions, and safe deletion of APFS system caches without bricking apps.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a native Swift/Objective-C application with a helper daemon to handle elevated privileges and navigate macOS's privacy framework (TCC/Full Disk Access). Safe reclamation involves accurate APFS snapshot querying and knowledge of system and third-party application cache directory lifecycles to prevent data corruption.
