Hyperspace Space Reclaimer Launched
John Siracusa, on hypercritical.co:
By the end of that week, I’d written a barebones Mac app to do the same thing my Perl script was doing. In the months that followed, I polished and tested the app, and christened it Hyperspace. I’m happy to announce that Hyperspace is now available in the Mac App Store.
Hyperspace is a free download, and it’s free to scan to see how much space you might save. To actually reclaim any of that space, you will have to pay for the app.
I love how John made an app out of his geekiness. Tried on my main drive, but it only saved a few hundred MBs. However, cloud storage files are currently ignored — which is most of my files. As he eases up on the restrictions, I expect to use this app once-a-year when I get in clean install mode.
