Hyperspace
Hyperspace is a tool that helps users reclaim disk space by identifying duplicate files. The process involves scanning selected folders, reviewing identified duplicates, and then reclaiming space by replacing files with clones. Users must purchase the full version to unlock the review and reclamation features.
- ▪Scanning allows users to select one or more folders and finds files with identical contents while reporting any scan errors.
- ▪The Review step presents groups of duplicate files, letting users choose which files to keep, change source files, or exclude from reclamation.
- ▪During reclamation, Hyperspace replaces selected duplicate files with space‑saving clones and displays the total space reclaimed.
- ▪The application provides options to export review data as CSV and shows lifetime savings in the About menu.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
There are three steps to using Hyperspace: Scan, Review, and Reclaim. Scan After launching Hyperspace, click the “Choose Folder…” button at the top of the main window, then select a folder to scan. (You can also drag and drop a folder onto that area.) This should be a folder that you own. Folders owned by other users or by the system can be scanned, but only files owned by the current user can be reclaimed. Once a folder is selected, a green “+" and a red “-” button will appear beside it. Click the “-” button to unselect the folder. Click the “+" button to add another folder. Click the “Reset” button in the lower-left corner of the window to start over, if desired. When more than one folder is selected, Hyperspace will search for duplicates within both folders.
