WhatSize

If you're looking for a powerful tool to manage the files and folders on your computer, WhatSize is an excellent choice. With this application, you can quickly measure the size in bytes of a given folder and all subfolders and files within it. This feature is especially useful if you're trying to free up disk space and need to pinpoint which files or folders are taking up the most space.

One of the great things about WhatSize is that it automatically sorts the files and folders by size, with the biggest sizes listed first. This way, you can quickly identify the files that are taking up the most space on your hard drive. Additionally, while the application is measuring a folder, you can browse the files within that folder and immediately see the size in bytes. Hidden files, cache files, directories, and more will all show up with their corresponding size.

WhatSize is similar to other file management tools like NeXTSTEP and DarkForest, but it has some unique features that set it apart. For example, once the measuring of a folder has ended, you can filter the information by particular file sizes or types. This makes it easy to locate specific types of files or folders and manage them accordingly.

Another great feature of WhatSize is that you can move unwanted files and folders to the corresponding Trash bin, similar to the Finder's Delete button. This makes it easy to delete unnecessary files without having to manually locate them in your file system.

Finally, it's worth noting that WhatSize is developed in Cocoa, Objective-C, and makes use of multithreading, low level UNIX file system APIs, C programming, and Obj-C method implementation caching to achieve speed, low memory footprint, and stability. This means that you can trust this application to deliver fast, reliable results without using up too much of your computer's resources. Overall, if you're looking for a powerful, yet user-friendly file management tool, WhatSize is definitely worth checking out.
