Lupa

See what's filling up your Mac. Lupa only looks; you decide.

Lupa analyzes your disk and shows you what's taking up space and why. It can't delete, move or modify anything: whatever you don't need, you remove yourself from the Finder.

Everything that takes up space, in plain sight

Pick a folder or your entire disk. Lupa scans it and sorts it several ways so you can see at a glance where your space has gone.

Fast analysis

Analyzes a folder or your entire disk and gives you a clear summary of what you picked.

Visual map

Each folder is a block proportional to the space it takes up. The big stuff stands out without searching for it.

Biggest first

Lists of the files and folders that take up the most space, sorted from largest to smallest.

Breakdown by type

Video, photos, audio, apps, archives, documents, development, caches and system, and other.

Real space, no double counting

Counts what each item actually takes up on disk, without counting hard links or packages twice. And it never triggers iCloud downloads.

Suggestions with a reason

Lupa points out what you might want to review and explains why. The final decision is always yours.

Native to macOS 26 Tahoe, with a Liquid Glass design and an interface entirely in Spanish.

Read-only by design

Lupa can't delete anything. Not even if it wanted to.

It's not a promise, it's how it's built. Lupa uses Apple's App Sandbox with read-only permission for whatever you choose to analyze, so macOS itself prevents it from deleting, moving, renaming or modifying your files.

Metadata only.

When analyzing, Lupa reads each file's size, type and dates. Never its contents.

Two actions, neither destructive.

On a file, all you can do is “Show in Finder” or “Copy Path”.

No delete buttons.

There are no bulk actions on several files at once either.

You delete, from the Finder.

When you decide something can go, you remove it with your Mac's usual tools.
Premium

Keep a copy before you delete

About to delete a big file but hate to lose it? Connect Google Drive or Dropbox and Lupa uploads a verified copy. It stays off until you connect an account.

  1. Step 1:

    Connect your account.

    Google Drive or Dropbox, only if you want to use it.

  2. Step 2:

    Pick the file and click “Archive”.

    One at a time, never in the background or automatically.

  3. Step 3:

    Lupa checks the copy.

    The copy's size and checksum must match the original's.

  4. Step 4:

    You decide what to do with the original.

    Uploading the copy doesn't delete anything from your Mac. If you want to free up the space, delete it yourself from the Finder.

Google Drive

Lupa only sees the files it uploads itself. It can't read or touch the rest of your Drive. Copies go to the Lupa/YYYY-MM folder.

Dropbox

Lupa only writes to its own app folder, without seeing anything else, and never overwrites an existing file.

Clear suggestions. The decision is always yours.

Lupa points out what you might not need, and why. It never deletes anything: that's up to you.

Automatic classification, on your Mac

Lupa spots what you might not need using local, predictable rules. No internet needed.

AI explanationsPremium

AI explains each suggestion in plain language. It never decides what to delete.

Frequently asked questions

No. Lupa runs inside Apple's App Sandbox with read-only permission, so macOS prevents it from deleting, moving, renaming or modifying your files. Its only actions are “Show in Finder” and “Copy Path”.

Lupa shows you what's taking up space and suggests what to review. When you decide something can go, you click “Show in Finder” and delete it yourself from there.

Not when analyzing: it only reads metadata such as size, type and dates. The only exception is when you pick a file and click “Archive” to upload a copy to Google Drive or Dropbox; to upload it, Lupa has to read it.

No. Lupa has no accounts of its own and, unless you turn on Groq or connect Google Drive or Dropbox, it doesn't open any internet connection.

Only the files it uploads itself. It uses a single permission, drive.file, which doesn't let it read or touch the rest of your Drive. Copies are saved in the Lupa/YYYY-MM folder.

Only its own app folder. It doesn't see anything else in your Dropbox and never overwrites an existing file.

No. Suggestions are decided by a local rules engine. AI is optional and only writes and groups the explanations: Apple Intelligence does it on your Mac, without internet; Groq only if you turn it on yourself, with your own key, and it receives an anonymized summary.

No. Lupa never triggers iCloud downloads and counts the space each item actually takes up on your disk.

Lupa is a native app for macOS 26 Tahoe. There's no public download yet; when there is, you'll find it on this website.
