Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a folder?

Launch FoldChart, click Choose Folder, pick a folder or volume, and wait for the scan to finish. You can then switch views without rescanning.

Why does macOS ask for folder permission?

FoldChart is sandboxed for Mac App Store security. It can only read folders you explicitly select. If cleanup cannot move an item to Trash, the App may ask you to grant access to the containing folder.

What is included in FoldChart Pro?

The free app includes scanning, overview, and Folders, Sunburst, and Flame views. FoldChart Pro unlocks Bubbles, Mind Map, Top Sizes, Age Map, Treemap, duplicate finder, snapshots, and cleanup.

How do I restore FoldChart Pro?

Open FoldChart → menu bar View → Restore Purchases. Make sure you are signed into the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Does FoldChart upload my files?

No. Scanning, hashing, snapshots, and cleanup happen locally on your Mac. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Is deleting through Cleanup permanent?

Items move to the Trash. You can recover them from Trash until you empty it. FoldChart does not permanently erase files in the background.

App Store review notes for Apple

To test: launch the app → choose a folder → explore Visualize tabs. Pro features show a paywall until FoldChart Pro is purchased or restored. No Full Disk Access is required.
