Folder Size Catalog

Folder Size Catalog is a handy tool that can really help you when your Mac's hard drive starts getting cluttered with files. You know how it goes—over time, you collect so many files that it’s tough to figure out what you actually need and what can be tossed. This software steps in to make things easier.

Easy Scanning for Your Mac

Using Folder Size Catalog is super simple! All you have to do is pick the folder you want to scan, and then choose where you'd like the report saved. Once you've done that, the app gets to work scanning all the files in that folder and its subfolders.

Understanding Folder Sizes

The way it calculates folder size is by looking at all the files inside and adding them up. Just keep in mind that each subfolder is treated separately, so they won't count towards the main folder's size.

Speed Up Your Scan

If your storage is packed with files, you might want to skip over smaller folders while scanning. This little tip can really speed things up! But hey, if you're after the most accurate report possible, feel free to include every single subfolder—just be ready for a longer wait.

Your Results at a Glance

Once the scan is complete, you'll get an HTML file showing which folders take up the most space. It even lets you click on any folder directly from this report! Pretty neat, right?

A Few Drawbacks

That said, one downside of Folder Size Catalog is that it doesn’t break down data into different types of files or show it in various formats. So while it's great for a general overview of your disk space distribution among folders, there's room for improvement.
