WhatSize allows you to quickly measure the size in bytes of a given folder and all subfolders and files within it. You would be surprised at how many useless files might be laying around on your hard disks. The files and folders are automatically sorted by size, with the biggest sizes first. WhatSize helps find out what files are taking up all of that space. Then it makes it really easy to remove or move those files. You'd be surprised how many useless files are lying around on your Mac's hard disk.

While the app is measuring a folder the user can browse the files within that folder and immediately see the size in bytes. Hidden files, cache files, directories will all show up with their corresponding size. This application is similar to the ancient NeXTSTEP, DarkForest.

Once the measuring of a folder has ended the user can also view the information by filtering for particular file sizes or types. The user can also move unwanted files and folder in the corresponding Trash bin similar to the Finder's Delete button.

Gemini helps you find duplicate files and wipe them away. It's smart, laser-accurate, and recovers tons of space on your Mac.

Features

• Detect and delete duplicates. Locate and remove duplicate files, even if they're in remote corners of your system. Gemini 2 scans your whole disk speed-of-light fast, no matter how massive it is. Dig through scan results and hand-pick the files to erase, or better - let Smart Select do all the work.
• Spot and shred similars. Just like duplicates, similars are space wasters. Now, Gemini 2 is after them. Spot files that look alike, see how they differ, and delete those you don't need. Because you have better use for all the space they occupy.
• Your photos matter. Their copies don't. Do you really need 10 retakes of the Golden Gate? Probably not. Don't let copies invade your Photos: find duplicate pictures, look at them closely, and zap the extras.
• You only enjoy one tune at a time. Even if you play the same tune on repeat, one copy is enough. Delete duplicates in iTunes: Gemini scans it to find those five copies of "Space Oddity" you've stored up.
• It's smart, and getting smarter. Gemini is smart. It easily tells copies from originals. It knows which files to keep intact. But the best thing is that it learns to select duplicates the way you do. Gemini's algorithm remembers what you delete and what you choose to keep. It's like an apprentice you are training.
• Simple is stellar. Gemini's carefully crafted to be super simple. Whatever you need to do - view duplicates in detail or quickly destroy them - it takes a few clicks. Because that's what a good duplicate finder does: makes things simpler.
• Nothing's deleted for good -- until you say so. Never worry about losing the wrong file by mistake. Gemini moves duplicates to the Trash and lets you bring them back in a click. If you do want the copies off your Mac, delete them for good. If you just want them out of your way, stash them in a faraway folder. It's always your call.

As an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime, Node.js is designed to build scalable network applications.

Node.js is similar in design to, and influenced by, systems like Ruby's Event Machine and Python's Twisted. Node.js takes the event model a bit further. It presents an event loop as a runtime construct instead of as a library. In other systems, there is always a blocking call to start the event-loop. Typically, behavior is defined through callbacks at the beginning of a script, and at the end a server is started through a blocking call like EventMachine::run(). In Node.js, there is no such start-the-event-loop call. Node.js simply enters the event loop after executing the input script. Node.js exits the event loop when there are no more callbacks to perform. This behavior is like browser JavaScript - the event loop is hidden from the user.

HTTP is a first-class citizen in Node.js, designed with streaming and low latency in mind. This makes Nodejs well suited for the foundation of a web library or framework.

Node.js being designed without threads doesn't mean you can't take advantage of multiple cores in your environment. Child processes can be spawned by using our child_process.fork() API, and are designed to be easy to communicate with. Built upon that same interface is the cluster module, which allows you to share sockets between processes to enable load balancing over your cores.

Emaki is a fast image and comic viewer for macOS, built for libraries that are too large to keep on the internal drive.

Nothing is imported. Emaki reads the folder structure you already have, with no copying into a managed library. Move or rename files in the Finder and the ratings, tags and notes you added follow them — across drives too, matched by the file's own contents rather than by path.

Built for size. Folder contents appear progressively as they load. Large ZIP files show the first page without waiting for full extraction, and adjacent pages are prefetched. When a network share drops, the listing you were looking at stays on screen.

Reading is a spread view with a filmstrip and page slider. On top of that: ratings, tags and notes, multi-condition search, smart folders, duplicate and similar-image detection, and batch renaming. File operations can be undone with Command-Z and are kept in a history.

Images: JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, PSD and others, plus some RAW formats (viewing only, no development). Archives: ZIP, CBZ, 7z, RAR v4/v5 and CBR. PDF and video also open.

The trial runs 30 days with every feature and no purchase step. The licence is a one-time purchase, valid on any number of Macs used by one person, and does not need a network connection to validate.

Archyv is a native macOS app for managing large photo and media collections in bulk. It runs twelve focused processes over a folder you choose: batch renaming from each file's own metadata, manual pattern renaming, image conversion to six formats, duplicate and near-duplicate detection, a full IPTC/EXIF/XMP metadata editor, photographer and copyright attribution, a read-only metadata inspector, species tagging with Darwin Core taxonomy, folder generation, templated file transfer with checksum verification, sequence renumbering, and metadata-based selection filters. It reads 40 file formats across 44 extensions — standard image formats, RAW from the major camera makers, and video — and writes metadata to 32 of them, using a bundled copy of ExifTool. Everything runs on your own machine. There is no account and no cloud processing; your photos never leave your Mac. Changes made in place are recorded in a change history and can be undone for a retention period you set, removed duplicates go to the Trash, and conversions write new files rather than altering the originals. A Simulation Mode performs a full run without changing anything so you can read the result first.
