freedisk.space 0.2.1

What's new

Shared copies flagged. When a folder looks huge because it's mostly APFS clones (copies that share one set of blocks), freedisk.space now says so: "70.4 GB of files, about 4 GB on disk". It shows on Overview, in folder details and in Biggest Folders, with one click to count each clone once.

Select all, where you expect it. Every list with checkboxes has a Select all box at the top, lined up with the rows, plus the page's quick pick ("Select generally safe", "Select not recently used"). On Duplicates it ticks extra copies only, never the last copy of a file.

Dark mode is one click away. The appearance button is back in the top bar, and also in Settings.

Fixes

Everything was checked against macOS's own tools (du, find, shasum, mdls, df):

• TypeScript .ts files were counted as video, and Docker's disk image as an image.
• Identical files were split into separate duplicate groups when some were clones, so the space you'd free was too low.
• Developer Storage now finds the pnpm store and the rattler, ccache, uv, pip, Go and Homebrew caches.
• Homebrew's download cache is no longer listed as your Downloads.
• Old Downloads and Large Media no longer show a list limit as a file count.
• "Last used" for apps no longer guesses from the folder date; apps you've never opened show "—".
• Overview explains why Finder's "available" is higher (purgeable space).
• Your disk's name shows correctly when you scan your home folder.
