The storage problem
SpaceRover turns storage cleanup from guesswork into a clear, visual workflow.
Core workflow
SpaceRover puts the visual map, cleanup candidates, and snapshot history in one local desktop workflow.
Explore folders and files through a beautiful sunburst map and ranked size list, so the biggest space consumers are obvious immediately.
SpaceRover surfaces large caches, build artifacts, downloads, temporary files, and other cleanup opportunities that are commonly safe to review.
Compare snapshots to see what grew, what disappeared, and which folders are responsible for storage changes over time.
SpaceRover recognizes common developer cleanup candidates such as Cargo target directories, npm caches, .NET build folders, Xcode DerivedData, Gradle caches, and temporary environments, so you can review the space they use before removing anything.

Smart Insights scans for developer caches, browser data, application caches, logs, downloads, temporary files, and trash using conservative local rules. SpaceRover surfaces candidates and opportunities for you to review before deleting anything.
Save snapshots before and after big downloads, OS updates, Docker pulls, or project builds. Compare them side by side to see what grew, what disappeared, and which folders are responsible.

Workflow
SpaceRover keeps the workflow clear: scan, inspect, compare, then review cleanup candidates.
Start with a drive, project folder, home directory, or drag-and-drop target.
Use Rings, Treemap, breadcrumbs, and the table to identify the real storage hotspots.
Check what changed since a previous scan before deciding what to review or remove.
Use Smart Insights or the Cleanup Queue so deletion is a deliberate final step.
