About See Your Disk
See Your Disk is a Mac app that draws your disk as a map of blocks and cleans caches and leftovers safely. It is built by bikmeev, an independent developer (publisher on the App Store: Desert Rose FZE).
Why it exists
It started with a real MacBook where Storage settings showed almost 59 GB of System Data and no way to see what was inside. Digging in Terminal found about 31 GB in ~/Library/Caches, around 10 GB of Xcode and simulator data, and a Docker disk image that looked far bigger than it was. The app and the guides on this site come from that investigation: measure first, then clean only what is safe.
How the guides are written and checked
- Read-only commands are run on a real Mac (macOS 27 at the time of writing) before they appear in a guide.
- Commands that delete something are shown with a preview (
--dry-run, a list command) or a backup step wherever the tool allows it. - Numbers marked as coming from one Mac really come from one Mac. They are examples, not averages.
- Anything that could not be verified is written as a hedge ("usually", "on many versions") instead of a promise.
- Guides are drafted with AI assistance and then checked against real command output. Each page shows when it was last updated.
- If you find a mistake, write to the address below and it will be fixed.
