Trace groups storage into Apps, Files, Media, Communication, Games, Development, System Data, and Other. It breaks System Data down into caches, containers, logs, and snapshots. The Directory Inspector lets you drill down to individual files. Trace Agent notices apps moved to the Trash and suggests associated files for review. Risk indicators highlight data that may be shared by several apps. Eligible items can be held in quarantine and restored later. All sizes shown are examples; not every removal action can be undone.

How Trace works
  1. 01

    Understand the connection

    Trace explains why a file is associated with an app. Shared data is marked separately.

  2. 02

    Review your selection

    Before removing anything, review the files and their risk levels. You control the selection.

  3. 03

    Keep a way back

    Eligible files can be set aside and restored if needed. Permanent deletion and certain system actions cannot be undone this way.

Good to know

Any questions?

Read the documentation
Is Trace a cleaner?

Trace is a storage inspector and app uninstaller. It shows disk usage, file associations, and risks so you can make informed choices. It does not promise to make every Mac faster.

Why does Trace need Full Disk Access?

macOS protects certain data locations. Full Disk Access lets Trace analyze those areas too. Without it, the overview may be incomplete.

Why don’t the numbers match macOS?

Logical file size, disk space used, and category totals measure different things. Trace explains these differences and the limits of its analysis.

Can I get removed files back?

Files still in Trace’s quarantine can be restored. Permanent deletion, snapshot removal, and other irreversible actions cannot be undone.

Which Macs does Trace support?

Trace requires macOS 15 or later and supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

What can I try in the demo?

Use the demo to analyze storage and review file associations. Trace Agent is fully usable for free, including removal actions. A license unlocks the other paid actions.
