ClearSpace
Clearspace is a Mac storage inspector that helps you review disk usage, inspect app-related files, and clean rebuildable caches locally.
What is ClearSpace?
Clearspace is a native Mac utility for understanding what is using storage and reviewing reclaimable space before cleanup. It helps users scan supported storage locations, browse categorized results, search names and paths, and separate rebuildable caches from files that need closer review. The app also includes app-removal assistance so you can inspect related support files, preferences, and caches before deleting an app. A menu bar view keeps available disk space visible and opens a compact dashboard when you want a quick storage check. Clearspace is designed for macOS workflows and emphasizes local use, with scans and cleanup history stored on your Mac. It is published by Reynol Martinez de Lara.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Clearspace is intended for local storage review and cleanup on macOS. Access to your home folder is normal for this kind of app, and its documented behavior does not require administrator privileges or Full Disk Access for its main workflow. Because cleanup can move files to Trash, review selections carefully before confirming, especially for preferences, support files, or developer data you may still need. If you use cloud-synced folders or development tools, double-check what will be removed so you do not disrupt active work.
Recommendation: Keep Clearspace if you actively use it to inspect storage and clean rebuildable files on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is usually fine, but expect to lose its local scan history and any convenience it provides for reviewing cleanup items before deletion.
