Publisher's Description
From ID-Design:
WhatSize is a simple tool that allows the user to quickly measure the size in bytes of a given folder and all subfolders and files within it. You would be surprised at how many useless files might be laying around on your hard disks. The files and folders are automatically sorted by size, with the biggest sizes first. While the app is measuring a folder the user can browse the files within that folder and immediately see the size in bytes. Hidden files, cache files, directories will all show up with their corresponding size. This application is similar to the ancient NeXTSTEP, DarkForest. Once the measuring of a folder has ended the user can also view the information by filtering for particular file sizes or types. The user can also move unwanted files and folder in the corresponding Trash bin similar to the Finder's Delete button.
What's new in this version:
- Added preference pane to better handle CSV exports.
- Added measuring of TimeMachine volumes. This feature will help identify local TimeMachine snapshots.
- Dropped support for MAC OSX 10.4, Version 5.1.1, is the latest version that supports 10.4.
- Addressed rare crash related to missing local host name.
- Addressed rare crash related to the file system having changed from under the application.

"I saved 15 GB of storage space using WhatSize"
Version: WhatSize 5.2.1
Pros
It is easy to use. From launch it analyzed my boot drive and quickly sorted the files by size with colors for each size range. I can navigate to the files by double clicking on any file or folder. The column display allows for easy expansion into more detail down to the file level.
Cons
Nothing significant
Summary
If you are wondering why your hard drive storage space is disappearing WhatSize is a very good place to start. It provides an easy to understand breakdown of all the files on your hard drive. You can navigate to files from within the app saving time and effort.
