DiskPulse
Track Disk Growth in Real Time
Only for Mac
$4.99
Mac
The only Mac menu bar app that tracks how fast your disk is growing — with per-folder schedules, 7-day trends, and large file alerts. 100% private.
Most disk tools show you what's already on your drive. DiskPulse shows you what's happening right now — and what happened yesterday.
DiskPulse lives in your menu bar and watches your folders grow in real time. It answers the question other apps can't: "Where is all my disk space going?"
REAL-TIME GROWTH MONITORING
Add any folder and DiskPulse tracks every byte of change on a schedule you control — from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. FSEvents detection catches changes the instant they happen. No manual scans. No waiting.
7-DAY TREND CHART
A built-in weekly chart reveals your storage patterns over time. Spot that Tuesday backup bloat or Friday download binge before your disk fills up. No other menu bar app gives you this.
LARGE FILE ALERTS
When a big new file lands in a watched folder, DiskPulse tells you what it is — name, size, and path. You set the size threshold. You stay in control.
SMART MOVE DETECTION
If you reorganize files between monitored folders, DiskPulse knows the difference between a move and new data. Your growth numbers stay accurate — not inflated by reshuffled files.
PER-FOLDER SCHEDULES
Every folder gets its own scan interval. A fast-changing Downloads folder can scan every 30 seconds while a slow-moving Documents folder checks in every 10 minutes. Flexible and efficient.
DAILY GROWTH SUMMARY
See exactly how many megabytes your disk grew today, color-coded and persistent across restarts. Growth resets at midnight automatically.
IGNORE LIST
Filter out noise. Exclude specific files, folders, or extensions. .DS_Store, .Trash, and .git are already filtered by default.
EMPTY TRASH
One click from the menu bar. Confirmation dialog included so nothing gets deleted by accident.
100% PRIVATE
All processing happens on your Mac. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Nothing leaves your machine. Ever.
---
DiskPulse is for anyone who wants to understand their storage — not just see a pie chart of it. Developers watching build folders. Photographers managing imports. Video editors tracking renders. Or anyone who has ever asked, "Why is my disk full again?"
Requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later.
