Find what you don’t use.
Get the space back.
Unused plugin formats, Intel-only plugins, old installers and forgotten sound libraries. Minus Six finds them in seconds.
Studio
Two modes.
One clear picture.
Your plugins, sorted.
Plugins, unused formats, Intel-only plugins, sound libraries, DAW projects and installers — each with its size, right in the sidebar.
Every folder, mapped.
An interactive map of the whole disk, a breakdown by file type, and the caches and leftovers macOS rebuilds on its own.
Formats you’ll
never load.
AAX without Pro Tools. VST2 when you only run Logic. Minus Six checks every plugin against the DAWs on your Mac and marks the extra copies.
Intel-only.
Found.
On Apple silicon, Minus Six reads each plugin’s binary and finds the ones that can’t load natively anymore. They still take space.
Every library.
Sized.
Logic, Ableton, Native Instruments, Spitfire, Splice, /Users/Shared — and the installers you unpacked and forgot.
Safe
by design.
Only you decide what goes. Everything is marked Safe, Review or Keep, system files are protected, and whatever you remove goes to the Trash.
Disk tools see files.
Minus Six sees your studio.
Small things.
Done right.

Questions
Will it break my projects?
No. Everything goes to the Trash, and you can put it back. Anything uncertain is marked Review, and system files can’t be selected.
Why does it ask for Full Disk Access?
Without it, macOS hides parts of your disk and sizes come out incomplete. Minus Six only reads names and sizes. Nothing you scan leaves your Mac.
Which DAWs and formats does it understand?
AU, VST, VST3, CLAP and AAX, checked against Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase, REAPER, Studio One, Bitwig and more. Full list.
Is it a subscription?
No. Try it free for 7 days, then pay once — two Macs, every 1.x update.
What happens when the trial ends?
Minus Six stops working until you enter a license key. Nothing on your disk changes. If it’s not for you after buying, you can get a full refund within 14 days.
Is there a Windows version?
Not yet. Leave your email and we’ll tell you when it’s ready.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
Yes. Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 13 Ventura or later — including MacBook Pro and iMac from 2017.
