DriveScanner

macOS (SwiftUI) helper to discover user-created content at the top level of your home directory (outside usual Apple locations), see total sizes of Pictures, Music, and Movies, select what to keep, export an HTML inventory, and copy or zip selections for migration.

Requirements

• macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later
• Swift 6 (Xcode 16+ or matching toolchain)

Build and run

cd /path/to/DriveScanner
swift build
swift run DriveScanner

Run tests:

swift test

Open in Xcode: open Package.swift as a Swift package.

Privacy and permissions

• Local only: scanning and export use FileManager and (for zip) /usr/bin/ditto on paths you choose. No network or analytics are built in.
• User data: the app reads directory listings and file metadata under your home folder when you tap Scan my home folder and when you export. It does not upload data.
• Full Disk Access: v1 does not scan ~/Library as a candidate. If you later extend scanning into protected locations, users may need System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access for the app (or Terminal when using swift run).

Distribution

For use outside your own machine, sign and notarize the built app per Apple’s guidelines.
