Mac utilities for files, storage and windows

Start with the task that interrupts your day: finding a file, recovering disk space, restoring a window layout or converting a document. These utilities solve different problems, so choose by the workflow you need.

How to choose

For file browsing and iCloud backup, start with MacManager. SpaceLens helps explain storage usage; Sift focuses on photo duplicates and visual clutter. A storage map and a photo comparison tool answer different questions.

Gravity handles window arrangements, Recast converts supported files locally, and Easy Reader opens reading formats. Canary Browser separates browsing workspaces. Check each product's exact macOS and processor requirements before buying.

Capabilities and limits

MacManager

A file browser that tells you the truth about your files, plus the pieces no other Mac utility ships in one package: an iCloud Manager that can pull cloud-only files down and back them up to an external SSD in one verified pass, a full mail suite inside the app, and an Activity Monitor that inventories individual threads, not just processes — alongside working Disk Utility, System Information and Keychain Access.

Consider before buying: MacManager requires macOS 26 or later. It can inspect only files and protected folders you authorize, and some jobs require Full Disk Access; it cannot bypass POSIX permissions, ACLs, Data Protection or System Integrity Protection. Apple owns active iCloud transfers, so MacManager can cancel its own queue and request safe eviction but cannot guarantee a hard stop of Apple's transfer process. Some Macs do not expose every thermal or fan sensor, and unavailable readings are identified rather than estimated.

Canary Browser

A native WebKit browser that separates identities into isolated workspaces, disposes of one-use Burner Tabs, cleans tracking links, shows what its protections actually did, and keeps notes and saved pages locally. It has no Canary account, analytics SDK or advertising SDK.

Consider before buying: Canary uses Apple's WebKit engine and is not presented as Safari or Chrome feature parity. It has no browser-extension ecosystem, cross-device Canary account, password/passkey sync or guaranteed default-browser entitlement. Blocking reduces common advertising and tracking but cannot promise that every changing site will be blocked without breakage, and private browsing is not anonymity: websites, networks and search providers can still observe data you send them.

SpaceLens

Shows what is actually consuming your disk as a navigable map, and cleans with an undo step — so reclaiming 40 GB does not mean guessing which folder was safe.

Consider before buying: System-protected areas remain off limits to any third-party app; it will show you the boundary rather than pretend to cross it.

Sift

Finds the photos worth deleting — exact duplicates, near-duplicates, blurred frames and screenshots — using on-device vision, and shows you the comparison before anything is removed.

Consider before buying: It suggests; you decide. There is no unattended cleanup mode by design.

Gravity

Snaps windows into halves, quarters, thirds, two-thirds and sixths by keyboard shortcut or by dragging to a screen edge. Scenes save the position of every window across every display and restore them when that display arrangement reappears — so docking and undocking stops rebuilding your desktop by hand.

Consider before buying: Window management needs Accessibility permission — macOS gives no other way to move another app's windows.

Recast

Converts between 58 file formats across 589 paths entirely on your Mac. No upload, no queue, no size cap beyond your disk.

Consider before buying: Some proprietary formats have no open decoder; where that is true it says so rather than producing a corrupt file.

Easy Reader

Turns PDF, EPUB, DOCX, RTF, HTML and Markdown into one reflowable reading surface with a semantic document graph underneath, so annotations and navigation survive across formats. OCR, speech and intelligence all run on-device.

Consider before buying: Heavily designed PDFs — complex magazine layouts — reflow imperfectly. That is inherent to reflowing a fixed layout.
