This is a project that I have been working on for the last 2 years. And finally I am getting somewhere.

With MacInspector I am trying to build a unique tool that can be used for several use cases:

• Explore a file system, and quickly find all the files and folders that are taking a lot of space (similar to DaisyDisk).
• You should be able to navigate through a file system, and see which folders are taking a lot of space.
• As a developer, quickly review extended attributes of files and folders (similar to xattr command). You can navigate to the /Applications and check extended attributes written by the App Store, or select and Info.plist file and see the content of the file in an easy readable table.

And there are more features I want to implement:

• Review installed applications, and being able to delete them with all the supporting files and directories in the user folder.
• Review most common caches and temporary files, and being able to delete them.
• Review purgable files and folders, and be able to delete them.

Your suggestions are welcome.

Please check the demo of the current features and follow the progress:

• x.com/outcoldman/

This is going to be probably only one blog about MacInspector until it is going to be released. The price? Not sure yet. But I will send the email on release date with the special promo code for newsletter subscribers.

If you are interested, feel free to download the beta from loshadki.app/macinspector/, those builds have 60-day expiration, and will have auto-update embedded (with Sparkle). And if you do, please submit feedback and feature requests.
