Meet Aster, a free Mac storage analyzer that helps you find large files, see their locations and review what goes to Trash. You finish editing a video, hit export, and your Mac tells you there isn’t enough space. Now the job has changed. Before you can publish anything, you have to work out which files you can get rid of.

Astrid, a free storage analyzer for Mac, recently gained nearly 8,000 clicks on its download page in just one day. Created by Shivam, the app aids users in identifying large files, locating them, and deciding which files to remove. After completing a video edit and encountering space constraints, users now have an easier way to manage their storage.
The app shows what is taking up space, allows inspection of files, and provides a review step before anything is moved to Trash. It is completely free and includes support for developer caches and logs. When installing, simply download from the official page, open the DMG, and drag the app into Applications. From there, users can select a folder to scan, explore results, and make informed decisions about what to remove.
