This update improves how permission status is detected and presented. ScopeDisk now distinguishes between System Settings, App Sandbox capabilities, and actual file access results. When Full Disk Access cannot be reliably verified, the app no longer incorrectly reports it as “Not Allowed” and instead directs users to the macOS System Settings switch as the source of truth. Locations already covered by sandbox capabilities, including Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures, are now shown as “Allowed” without displaying unnecessary access request actions. Locations that require separate access, such as Desktop and Documents, continue to provide permission controls based on their actual access state. Permission guidance has also been improved to explain that ScopeDisk may need to be restarted after Full Disk Access is enabled.

This update continues to improve ScopeDisk’s storage diagnostics, permission experience, and overall reliability. Permission detection has been redesigned. ScopeDisk can now correctly recognize active Full Disk Access and personal folder permissions. Items that are already authorized no longer display unnecessary access request actions. Permission records are preserved between launches, and their status refreshes automatically when returning from System Settings. Storage attribution has also been refined, with improved identification of protected folders, application support data, developer data, and rebuildable caches. Scan coverage, attributed space, and content still awaiting analysis are now explained more clearly. File handling and status feedback have been improved to reduce operations remaining in progress, delayed action buttons, and repeated messages after a failed operation. Completed actions are reflected in project records more promptly. Colors, typography, spacing, and localization have been adjusted across the main interface to improve visual hierarchy, readability, and consistency. This version also fixes issues that could prevent the main window from reopening, delay interface state updates, or allow background scanning work to affect responsiveness.

Version 1.1 gives ScopeDisk a clearer way to tell the story of your storage. The new Storage Weather home screen summarizes what has changed since your previous scan. Storage Tide reveals changes over time, while Project Map places files, caches, and projects back into their real folder context. Instead of presenting one large cleanup number, ScopeDisk helps explain why storage is growing. Before anything is handled, ScopeDisk shows its source, evidence, actual disk usage, risk, and expected impact. Every file operation requires your confirmation. Eligible items are moved to Trash first, with their original paths and results recorded so you can review or attempt to restore them later. The interface has also been redesigned with a brighter, more expressive color system, improved typography and spacing, better light and dark appearance support, and more consistent localization. Protected folder access is never requested automatically during launch or scanning. macOS permission prompts appear only after you choose to request access in Settings. This release also improves scan responsiveness, cache handling, permission status detection, and window stability. It fixes mixed-language content, delayed action buttons, and records that did not immediately reflect completed file operations.
