FreeSpace 1.2.8
Device: Mac OS
Category: Utilities
Price: $.99, Version: 1.2.7 -> 1.2.8 (iTunes)
Description:> FreeSpace is the No. 1 full-featured free space monitor and 1-click ejector! No other similar freeware can compare!
** Note to All OS X 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 Users **
On OS X 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9, local snapshot is switched on by default by Apple. Which means some space would have been taken and hidden as local backup by OS X. Finder always displays the available space disregarding the local snapshots. But FreeSpace displays the true available space with regarding the presence of the snapshots. See Apple's knowledge base:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878
"… You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed... "

"FreeSpace’s systemwide menu shows all mounted volumes along with the available free space on each; if you want to monitor a particular volume, you can choose to have that volume’s free space displayed right in the menu bar."
***** Softpedia
"FreeSpace is one of the best free space monitors available out there. It's fast, reliable, low on resource consumption (during the testing process it constantly occupied 10 MB of RAM) and stable (it never crashed)."
- Lifehacker.com
"FreeSpace is a tiny menubar utility that can show you how much space is available on all local, connected, and network drives with a single click."
**** MacObserver.com
"I do recommend it. This is a cool little app that is very useful, easy to use, and it’s only US$0.99. What’s not to love."
