the storage upgrade you already own
On Apple Silicon the SSD is soldered: the size you picked at checkout is the size you have, forever, and the next step up costs hundreds. Before you carry an external drive everywhere — look at what’s already squatting on the disk you paid for.
That’s the folder macOS mostly reports as “System Data” — invisible in Finder by default, unexplained in Storage settings. MAIMU draws it ring by ring.
Apps park everything here — including VMs, models and bundles from apps you deleted a year ago. Mapped, so you finally see who.
Sandboxed apps each get a private box; the boxes stay when apps go. On this Mac: 23 GB of them.
Caches exist to be rebuilt. MAIMU shows which app is hoarding how much, and everything it deletes goes to the Trash first.
Free tier shows you everything — the full map, every folder, no payment. The one-time license is only for the cleanup itself, and the safety contract (trash-first, home-only, logged) holds either way. “Up to” — your disk decides the number.
