SpaceLens

A bubble-map storage explorer inside the CleanMyMac suite.

+ SpaceLens: Mga lakas

  • Beautiful bubble-map view distinct from sunbursts and treemaps
  • One click from analysis to automated cleanup inside the suite
  • Backed by MacPaw's large support and update operation

- SpaceLens: Mga kahinaan

  • Requires the full CleanMyMac suite — no standalone purchase
  • Subscription push where single-purpose rivals charge once
  • Suite scope means deeper scans can feel like an upsell path
