See. Verify. Clean up.

Storage Intelligence takes you from a full drive to a controlled change. Nothing is deleted automatically.

From the drive to a single file.

Move between areas, paths, types and relationships. Every view works with the same scan.

Compare first. Clean up second.

Compare folders or volumes, inspect differences down to individual text lines and turn confirmed findings into a controlled plan.

  • Folder diff with integrity checks and a keep recommendation
  • Quick cleanup or one combined plan for multiple findings

AI explains. The local engine decides.

The optional advisor explains findings. Local assistants may read saved scans, but cannot approve new locations or change files.

  • Keychain storage, path redaction and limited data packages
  • Read-only MCP for structure, analysis, history and plan previews

Tools for your storage

Analyse, compare and clean up safely.

Storage Intelligence goes beyond large files. It compares collections, identifies common space hogs and prepares safe cleanup actions.

01

Compare two locations

Compare folders and volumes side by side, including size changes, exact overlaps and file-by-file differences.

02

Find patterns in your files

Old installers, version chains, series folders and common cache or download locations appear as reviewable findings.

03

Clean up multiple findings

Quick cleanup and combined plans calculate savings, let you choose the copy to keep and revalidate before making changes.

04

Keep large scans under control

View-only mode, pausing and memory safeguards keep extensive analyses manageable, even when a volume contains very many files.

05

Search with focus

Multi-select file-type filters and the expandable directory tree take you straight to the relevant location.

06

Track changes over time

The local scan history shows file and size changes. Local assistants can also analyse saved findings in read-only mode.

Exact duplicate verification

Similar is not identical.

Storage Intelligence verifies duplicates locally using size, samples, SHA-256 and byte comparison. It checks again before cleanup.

  1. 01
    Size

    Only candidates of equal size proceed.

  2. 02
    Sample

    Fast signatures rule out mismatches.

  3. 03
    SHA-256

    A full content hash confirms candidates.

  4. 04
    Byte comparison

    Exact verification compares the actual content.

  5. 05
    Revalidation

    Every target is checked again immediately before a change.

AI may explain. Only you can change files in the app.

Local assistants may read saved analyses. New scans, moves and deletions remain inside Storage Intelligence.

Development and accountability

A product by Simon Kock.

Storage Intelligence helps you understand what takes up space on your Mac and identify potential duplicates. Simon Kock defines the features and workflows, then checks the AI-assisted implementation against his own file structures. The product is provided by PROGRESSIVE digital – Kock, Rietz GbR.

Developed with generative AI

What is inside a large folder?

When reviewing the storage map, Simon found that a large block of color did not tell him enough about a folder. He wanted to see which subfolders and files took up the space. This led to a nested view with navigation into deeper levels and back.

Generative AI assists with implementing the interface, code and tests. Simon checks how the app works with actual file collections. Product decisions, safety boundaries and release approval remain the responsibility of the person behind it.

Does the app delete files by itself?

No. You confirm every change. By default, the app moves files to the Trash.

Will Free remain free?

Yes. Free features have no time limit. Pro permanently adds the extra views and tools.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. Pay €3 once and use the Pro features of Storage Intelligence 1 for good. Version 1.x updates are included.
