Hello fellow developers! 👋
I’d like to introduce Mac Storage Manager, an open-source shell script designed to manage disk space on macOS. Whether you're working on macOS software or just want better control over your system, this tool offers a developer-friendly approach to disk cleanup.

- Optionally uses sudo find to locate applications system-wide.
