Monitor disk space and RAM from your desktop

Mac Storage Widget

Overview

Ever wish you could check your Mac's storage and memory without opening any app? DiskCleanKit's Desktop Widgets bring real-time storage and RAM information right to your desktop and menu bar.

The widgets display your current disk usage for all system and external drives, available space, storage breakdown, and RAM status at a glance. You can see exactly how much space and memory you have left without interrupting your workflow - perfect for keeping an eye on system resources while working.

Choose from multiple widget sizes and styles to match your desktop setup. Place them on your desktop for constant visibility, or use the menu bar widget for quick access without cluttering your screen.

New in version 5.0: Based on many user requests, we've introduced a dedicated RAM Status Widget with comprehensive details including top memory-consuming processes, detailed RAM breakdown (Active, Wired, Compressed, Inactive), and real-time memory pressure indicators.
