What it does

Safe to Clean list

Caches, logs, build output and old versions that rebuild themselves are grouped so you can clear them in one go.

“Each item says what it is and if it's safe to remove.”

Developer Tools view

Build files and package caches are grouped by tool, with a note on which ones rebuild on their own.

“Disk Census groups them by tool and shows which ones rebuild themselves.”

AI agent leftovers

Old versions, caches and logs from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and similar tools are found, while chat history is listed but never offered for deletion.

“Conversations and sessions are listed with their size, never offered.”

census CLI and agent skill

You or your coding agent can scan and clean from the terminal, and the engine refuses to delete anything census didn't list.

“It can delete only what census listed.”

Large Files and Duplicates

Your biggest files appear in one list with when you last opened them, and identical copies sit side by side.

“Your biggest files in one list, with when you last opened each one and where it is.”

App uninstaller

Removing an app also finds its caches, settings and support files, and anything uncertain is left unticked.

“Anything it can't tie to the app for sure is left unticked.”

Free space widget

A desktop widget shows how much room is left, and the app warns you when space runs low.

“A desktop widget shows how much room is left, and Disk Census tells you when space runs low.”

Shareable scan reports

You can save a scan as JSON, Markdown, HTML or CSV with home-folder names hidden before you share it.

“Save a scan as JSON, Markdown, a self-contained HTML page or CSV, with home-folder names hidden when you share it.”

What Disk Census doesn't do

  • It doesn't run on Windows or Linux; it is a Mac app for macOS 12 or later.
  • It doesn't have a free trial or a free version.
  • It doesn't move deleted files to the Trash; deletion is permanent, and only for the items you approve.
  • It doesn't cover more than 3 Macs per key, and a key is for one person.
  • It doesn't work fully offline forever; each Mac has to check in online at least once every 60 days.

Questions people ask

8 answers, each tied to a line on diskcensus.com.

Is anything deleted automatically?

No. Nothing is removed until you tick it and confirm, and items in use are skipped.

Do deleted files go to the Trash?

No. They skip the Trash, so you get the space back right away, but you can't restore them from there.

Source: diskcensus.com
Is there a free trial?

No. There is no trial and no free version, but you can get a refund within 14 days if it doesn't do what the website says.

How many Macs can I use it on?

Up to 3 at a time, for one person, with one purchase.

Which Macs does it run on?

Macs on macOS 12 or later, both Intel and Apple silicon.

Can my AI agent clean my disk with it?

Yes. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other terminal agents can run census after one switch in the app. Asking it to clean junk approves only the safe tier; anything else waits for your yes.

Source: diskcensus.com
Will it delete my Claude Code or Codex chat history?

No. Agent conversations and sessions are listed with their size but never offered for deletion.

Source: diskcensus.com
Do my files or scan results leave my Mac?

No. Files, scan results and history stay on the Mac; the app only checks your license and looks for updates now and then.
