Spairo finds what’s eating your disk in seconds and cleans it without surprises. Every item comes with a risk level and a plain-English explanation, the files you remove can be put back, and nothing ever leaves your Mac.
Start with three buttons. When you want to really understand what’s on your disk, switch to Pro: same scan, every detail.
Spairo finds the junk that’s safe to delete and shows it to you before touching anything. No subscription, no scare tactics.
Professional lists with multi-column sorting, stackable filters and CSV export, plus an interactive disk map when you want the big picture.
Every view comes from the same scan, so the numbers always add up.
Ten categories, from Apps to System, with the space they really take on disk.
What grew since your last scan, folder by folder, and when your disk would fill up at the current pace.
An interactive sunburst of your whole disk. Click a ring to dive in, spot the giants at a glance.
Browse your disk with every folder sorted by size. Find the culprit in three clicks.
Group by kind and extension: ProRes video, RAW photos, .dmg, .zip… with custom filters.
The biggest files you haven’t opened in ages, in a single list.
The mystery gray bar, broken down: local snapshots, caches, swap, AI models and more.
How much of iCloud Drive is downloaded on this Mac, and a way to remove downloads without deleting anything from iCloud.
node_modules, DerivedData, venv, simulators, Docker images. The gigabytes you forgot you had.
Finds Docker, UTM, Parallels and other virtual disks, shows what they really take and how to shrink each one.
See every login item, launch agent and daemon, who installed it, and switch off the ones you don’t need.
Press space on any file to preview it before deleting. No guessing what “IMG_4821.mov” was.
Every app with its hidden data in Library, and an uninstaller that takes it all.
Preferences, caches and support files from apps you deleted long ago that are still hanging around.
Remove an app and Spairo tells you what it left behind, ready to review and delete.
Files identical by content, not by name. Delete the extra copies or keep them all and store them only once.
The disk map turns millions of files into one picture. Hover to see sizes, click to zoom into a folder, and jump straight to the table view to act on it. Same risk labels, same safety rules.
Apple’s Storage settings lump it all into one gray bar. Spairo shows what’s inside, what macOS will reclaim on its own, and what you can safely remove.
Free space always in sight, with a heads-up before your disk runs low — not after an export fails.
Set it once and Spairo quietly clears the safe stuff on your schedule: only junk that macOS and your apps recreate on their own, never your files.
Spairo notes your free space as it runs and projects the trend, also from the menu bar. And after each scan it shows exactly which folders grew since the previous one.
Duplicates don’t have to go: Spairo can turn them into APFS clones. Both files stay where they are and take the space of one; edit one and the other stays as it was. PAID
See which iCloud Drive files are downloaded and taking space, and hand them back to iCloud in one click. Nothing is deleted: they download again when you open them.
NEW just shippedPAID included in Personal and FamilyEverything else is free.
A cleaner that deletes the wrong thing is worse than no cleaner at all. Spairo rates every item and tells you why.
Rebuilds itself or is obvious junk: caches, logs, DerivedData, installers you’ve already used. Simple mode only touches these.
Might matter to you: videos, projects, libraries, Docker images. Spairo shows them, but the call is yours.
System paths and critical items. Shown so you understand your space, but Spairo won’t let you delete them.
Many analyzers add up logical sizes and promise you gigabytes that don’t exist. Spairo measures what you’d actually free up.
We measure allocated blocks, not apparent size. Sparse and compressed files count for what they really take.
If two paths point to the same data, it’s counted once. Totals never get inflated.
We show the space macOS can reclaim on its own, so you never confuse what’s free with what will be.

Personal covers up to 2 Macs and Family up to 5. You manage them yourself: to move your license to a new Mac, deactivate the old one in Spairo›Settings›License and activate the new one. No emails, no waiting.
No. Personal ($29 / €29) and Family ($49 / €49) are one-time payments with 12 months of updates included. Nothing renews automatically, ever.
Spairo keeps working, forever, with every feature you bought. You just stop receiving new versions. If you want another 12 months of updates, you can renew at 50% of the price ($15 / €15 Personal, $25 / €25 Family) whenever you like. It’s optional, and it’s never automatic.
The total space Spairo cleans for you on the free plan, added up across all your cleanups (it doesn’t reset monthly). Scanning, every view, filters, the disk map and the menu bar monitor are unlimited. Undo is always free.
Yes. If Spairo isn’t for you, email info@spairo.app within 30 days of purchase and we’ll refund you in full, no questions asked. Since the full scan is free, we recommend trying it first.
Yes, 50% off for students and teachers. Write to info@spairo.app from your school email address and we’ll send you a discount code.
macOS protects folders like Mail, Messages, Safari and other apps’ containers. Without that permission, any analyzer only sees part of your disk and the totals don’t add up: space just “disappears”.
With it, Spairo can measure everything and find leftovers that would otherwise be invisible. Turn it on in System Settings›Privacy & Security›Full Disk Access, and turn it off whenever you like. Without it, Spairo still works with what it can see and tells you what’s missing.
No. Spairo analyzes everything locally. No file names, paths or contents are ever sent to any server. No account, no telemetry about your files.
The only network calls are update checks and, if you buy a license, license activation (your license key, an anonymous Mac identifier, the Mac’s name and model, and the app version).
Yes. Scanning and cleaning happen entirely on your Mac. A paid license checks in with our server every few days, and keeps working for 30 days without a connection, so flights and cabins are no problem.
Files, apps and anything else you choose to remove go to the Trash and are logged in your cleanup history, where you can undo it, on any plan. The only things deleted right away are junk that macOS and your apps recreate on their own, like caches, logs and Xcode build data, and Spairo tells you so before you confirm.
System items are protected and can’t be selected, and running apps can’t be cleaned or uninstalled.
Right after checkout you’ll see your key on screen, and we’ll email it to you too. In the app:
Lost it? Email us from the address you used to buy and we’ll resend it.
Yes. Spairo is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without warnings. Updates are signed too and installed through Sparkle.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Spairo is native on Apple Silicon and also runs on Intel Macs.
