Strata in a sentence

Strata is a native Mac app that shows what is taking up space on your disk and helps you clear it safely, moving everything to the Trash, where it can be put back.

Strata in a paragraph

Strata maps a Mac's disk to scale, in four views that run from cards sized by the space each app and folder takes to a classic treemap. It finds what can go: caches and build data nobody will miss, apps along with the files they leave behind, duplicate files, AI models, installers and old downloads. Before anything moves, a sheet lists exactly what will go, and everything goes to the Trash, so it can be put back until the Trash is emptied. Strata runs on macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Scanning and the map are free; Strata Pro is $19.99, paid once, and every download starts with 14 days of all of it.

About the maker

Pankaj Kholiya makes Strata, and builds, signs and releases every version of it. The guides on this site come from that work: where macOS keeps things, what is safe to remove, and what the other tools do differently. Pankaj is on X as @Panku005.

Screenshots

Every picture is Strata itself, captured on a Mac. Where a capture uses a demonstration folder rather than a real one, its caption says so; please keep that note if you use it.
