DiskfernApplications
See what every app really weighs
Browse installed apps with their on-disk size, filter the list, and review an app before deciding whether it still earns its space.
Short answer
The Applications view measures app bundles in /Applications and your user Applications folder. Pro can remove selected bundles after confirmation; it does not automatically hunt down support files, caches, or preferences. Running apps, system apps, and Diskfern itself are protected.
