DESCRIPTION
Sponge is a tool to keep your Mac clean and tidy. With Sponge you can reclaim your disk space by:
  • Removing applications. Sponge will tell you what applications are installed on your system, how much space they use, and where they are located. If you find any applications you no longer need, Sponge will remove them safely and swiftly for you.
  • Sweeping disk hogs. If you're running out of disk space but don't know where to start cleaning up, let Sponge show you which files and directories take up the most space. Once you've tracked them down, let Sponge conveniently swipe them off your disk.
  • Finding duplicates. With all the attachments, memos, letters and other documents with which we are flooded in today's world, it's easy to lose track where we've saved what. Sponge makes finding and deleting duplicate files a breeze.

DON MORRIS  I was looking for the "Disk Hogs" feature, so I'll only comment on that. On my 250MB disk, about 75% full, the scan took much more time than any of the other utilities I tried. Also, considering only that feature, OmniDiskSweeper is $26 less (free). Add AppZapper ($13), AppDelete ($5) or AppTrap (free), along with any number of duplicate file utilities, and you can pay half as much (or nothing) for the same features as Sponge.

DON MORRIS  "Find duplicates" is not the feature I was looking for or commenting upon.

ESPIRIDION  It is interesting indeed, but performs like an early beta and it's not at the same level as alternative programs.

For example, to uninstall applications I prefer TinkerTool System.

For finding duplicate files, I prefer Araxis Find Duplicate Files and FileBuddy.

Both TinkerTool System and File Buddy offer dozens of powerful, well-implemented features.

I'm not mentioning the Disk Hogs option since it crashed on me, but I also have programs that have that specific feature.

I will not rate the software, but in its current state it is not something I would use.

DAN CHAN  You won't believe how much long forgotten junk I found on my hard drive using the sweep disk hogs feature. Highly recommended.
