Use case
A Mac individual user or small-team device admin running low on system disk space uses De Stash to scan local storage, search by size to locate large and redundant files, and then delete selected items to free capacity.
Users typically dig through Finder manually, use the built-in macOS Storage management pane, or delete item by item with third-party cleaners such as CleanMyMac; the material does not describe how De Stash differs.
Running out of disk space is a recurring, hard constraint for Mac users; the old approach means digging through Finder level by level and eyeballing sizes, which is slow and easy to miss the biggest offenders. The material does not say which step the AI handles, but the scan-search-clean loop maps onto that real burden.
xOcto's call
Demand is evidenced
Trend: local-first storage and file cleanup is being repackaged around privacy, as users refuse to hand personal files to the cloud. Entry: start with creators and small-team device admins whose disks are clogged by screenshots, assets and caches, selling on-device scanning and cleanup suggestions rather than another cloud drive.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Inference: versus manually browsing Finder level by level, De Stash merges scanning and size-based search into one searchable view, so users need not memorize directory structure to find large files; for Mac users unwilling to hand file listings to a cloud scanner, the '100% private' claim is a reason to choose it, though neither that claim nor the AI's role is verified in public material.
