Cool Utility of the Month

SpaceMonger screenshotMarkTAW has a big list of his favourite ‘smallware’–little programs that do useful things. I had a look through the whole list, but the one that stands out is SpaceMonger:

This program shows you visually how much space is taken up by what folders/files on your hard drive. Think of it as a sort of square pie chart that allows you to zoom in to a folder. This is a very powerful program that allows you to literally see where all of your space is going. Not as popular as SequoiaView, but I think it’s better because SpaceMonger shows you directories and allows you to zoom in on them.

SequoiaView screenshotWow, my music collection takes up a massive chunk–like 40%–of my hard drive. I also tried out SequoiaView, a similar product. It produces beautiful looking results, but I agree with Mark–they’re not nearly as useful. The file names and colour differentiation of SpaceMonger make it much easier to use.

  1. SpaceMonger is great… I saw a HUGE chunk of real estate taken up by one box, and I was able to right-click and delete it from withingthe program. VERY nice.
