Your computer says low disk space but you can't tell where the gigabytes went. FilePilot maps every folder, lists the 100 largest files on your drive, and tells you which ones are actually safe to delete (forgotten installers, video editor caches, old VM snapshots) versus what to keep.
FilePilot indexes every file on your drive and ranks them by size. Top 100 list shows path, size, last opened date, and a smart label: Safe to delete, Maybe, or Keep.
FilePilot recognizes file types and contexts: an old .dmg installer where the app is already installed = safe; a video editor render cache = safe; a video file in a project folder = keep.
Visual treemap shows which folders are eating the most space. Click into any folder to drill down.
AI scan in minutes. Find duplicates, auto-organize folders, reclaim gigabytes of disk space. One-time $7.99 — no subscription. Mac, Windows, and Linux. 30-day refund.

WinDirStat and DaisyDisk show you where space is used (great visualization), but they don't tell you what's safe to delete vs important. FilePilot adds the AI 'safe to delete' rating on top — distinguishing a forgotten 8 GB installer from an active project file.
It identifies large ZIP/RAR/7z files but doesn't expand them by default to find inner files. You can mark archives for inspection — FilePilot will show contents and let you decide whether to keep or delete the whole archive.
Hidden user files (like .cache directories) are scanned and surfaced. System files (the macOS System folder, Windows System32, Program Files) are scanned for size visualization but excluded from delete suggestions.
Partially. FilePilot identifies and lets you clean: mail attachment cache, browser cache, large app caches, old iOS backups, and Time Machine local snapshots — typically 30-100 GB hidden in 'System Data'.
Yes — point it at any mounted drive (USB stick, external SSD, networked drive). The scan works the same way.
Free scan shows you the full top-100 list with all sizes and recommendations — you can see exactly what cleanup would happen. The $7.99 unlocks the actual delete actions and the 30-day recovery folder.
