DiskManager v0.3.0

Choose a tag to compare

@derekdylu derekdylu released this 23 Sep 17:39

First public release — a native macOS app to compare, sync and clean up two storage locations (external drives, local folders, or any two folders). Bilingual UI (Traditional Chinese / English).

Features

Sync

  • Three modes: Mirror (make B match A) / Difference (clear out what B has but A doesn't) / Union (fill in both sides, newer version wins)
  • Fixed layout: target space A (never modified) → operated space B; a "Swap" button reverses direction without rescanning
  • Preview before running: tree diff list, storage visualization, automatic block when space is insufficient
  • Safety: extra or replaced files are archived to _DiskManager_Archive/ by default, atomic overwrites, metadata preserved, exFAT compatible

Cleanup

  • Regenerable FCP / iMovie media, disk images, system clutter (including ._ AppleDouble files), thumbnail caches
  • Duplicate file (head/tail fingerprint) and similar folder detection
  • Two-level category → subcategory selection; one-click cache cleanup
  • Reports export to JSON / TSV

AI analysis

  • Chat panel on the right with Claude or GPT (bring your own API key, stored in the Keychain)
  • Attach the current sync plan or cleanup report in one click
