Use cases

Built for the moment a disk runs out of room.

Space Wizard isn't a daily-driver file manager — it's what you open when something is full and you need to know why, whether that something is under your desk or in a datacentre.

Sysadmins & DevOps

"/ is at 96%" — and it's 2am.

The challenge. The alert fires, you SSH in, and you're piping du through sort trying to remember the flags, one directory at a time, over a link that makes every round trip hurt.

With Space Wizard. Connect once over SFTP and the whole filesystem comes back in a single `find` pass, rendered as a chart you can drill into. The offending folder is the biggest bar on screen, and you can clear the duplicate tarballs from the same window.

  • One command streams the whole tree — not a round trip per directory
  • `df` mounts listed up front, so you scan the filesystem that's actually full
  • Duplicate hashing runs on the server; only hashes come back
  • Saved connections with keys, agent auth, and a start folder per host
Hosting & managed services

Forty boxes, one recurring disk problem.

The challenge. Customer VMs fill up in the same predictable ways — old backups, rotated logs that never rotated out, build caches — and every investigation starts from scratch on a machine you've never looked at before.

With Space Wizard. Keep every host as a saved connection and reach for the same view each time. The parallelism is per-host, so a fast local VM and a slow remote one each get a sensible number of connections.

  • SFTP, FTPS or FTP — including hosts with no shell and no SFTP subsystem
  • 1–16 parallel connections, tuned per host
  • Host-key verification refuses a server that changed identity
  • Works on accounts that are locked down to their home directory
Personal & work laptops

"Storage almost full" — now what?

The challenge. The OS warning gives you a number and no explanation, and the built-in tools stop at broad categories that never point at the actual folder.

With Space Wizard. A scan shows the biggest folder at every level, and the Duplicates tab clears the easy wins in the same pass. The free tier covers the whole home drive at up to 100 GB per scan.

  • Bar or donut breakdown that follows you as you drill down
  • One-click duplicate clear, straight to the recycle bin
  • Cloud-sync folders skipped, so the numbers are real local bytes
Developer workstations

Where did 40 GB of build artifacts go?

The challenge. node_modules, build caches, old container layers and duplicated dependency trees pile up across a dozen project folders, invisible until the disk is nearly out.

With Space Wizard. Sort by size, filter to a minimum of 500 MB, and the heavy project trees surface immediately. The duplicate check finds the same dependency tarball cached in four places.

  • Filter by extension or minimum size in MB
  • Sort by size to find the single biggest folder fast
  • "Stay on one filesystem" keeps a scan out of mounted volumes you didn't mean to include
Shared & family machines

Whose files are actually eating the disk?

The challenge. A shared machine accumulates downloads, exports and duplicate photo imports across several people, with nobody owning the cleanup.

With Space Wizard. One scan surfaces the folders worth a conversation, and the Duplicates tab turns a folder-by-folder hunt into a five-minute job — with at least one copy of everything always kept.

  • No account needed, per user or at all
  • Filter by file type to focus on photos, videos or downloads
  • Deletes land in the recycle bin if someone wasn't ready to lose a file
Before a migration

What's actually worth carrying over?

The challenge. Ahead of a hardware refresh, a server move or an OS reinstall, it's unclear how much of the old disk is real current data versus duplicates and stale downloads not worth moving.

With Space Wizard. Scan the source, clear the duplicates, and copy a drive that's already been trimmed — instead of paying to move years of clutter and then discovering it on the new machine.

  • See the real footprint of each folder before deciding what to keep
  • Clear duplicates before the backup, not after
  • Same tool on both ends — Windows, macOS, Linux, or over SFTP

See exactly how a scan runs.

What gets hashed, what gets skipped, and what happens on a remote host versus a local drive.

Pilots, licensing, demos, security questionnaires, or a question you are not sure is a question yet. All of it lands with engineers and product leads rather than a routing layer, and none of it starts a drip campaign.
