Space Lens

See what fills a drive, and clean it without anything leaving the machine

A disk visualiser and cleaner for Mac, Windows and Linux, set in my own design system. It can review every device I own from one window, over my own network, and nothing leaves the machines. A native iPhone and iPad companion, written in SwiftUI, is in development.

Client: Personal
Year: 2026
Platform: Mac, Windows, Linux and iOS
Service: Software Design

3 Desktop systems: Mac, Windows and Linux
12 Tools around the lens, from junk to duplicates
0 Files sent off your own devices

Challenge: Where did the space go?

Most disk tools show a list that is hard to read, or send your file list to someone else's server to analyse it. I wanted to see at a glance what fills a drive, clean it safely, and do the same for every computer I use without any of it leaving them.

Goal: One lens, every device, nothing uploaded

A sunburst you can dive into folder by folder, with the usual clean-up tools around it, served by a small helper on each computer. Devices talk to each other only on my own network, and only with the key each one prints.

Result: A cleaner that explains itself

Click a wedge to dive in and the level you left slides back into the stack; press Esc to come back. Around the lens sit junk, large and old files, duplicates, photos, trash, privacy, startup items, processes, maintenance, an uninstaller and a shredder, each adapted to Mac, Windows and Linux. Removals go to the Trash unless you choose otherwise, and system folders are refused. Photo matching reads a private copy of the Photos library and never writes to it: anything you pick goes into an album for Photos to delete.

Oscar Shand

Design and systems for small businesses: the brand, the website and the tools that run behind them.

Open to new projects and roles, in New Zealand and Australia

What I do

Selected projects, 2023 to 2026.

Not only a design hire.

Alongside the design work I bring a year of legal support at Ashurst in Melbourne, covering billing, expenses and document production, and product ownership of the application portal at the New Zealand Film Commission.

I'm looking for full-time roles in design and digital, legal and executive support, or business operations and analysis, in New Zealand or Australia.

Work

Selected work.

Client and studio projects from the last three years.

Each project covers the problem, what I set out to do and what happened. Any numbers are real ones.

Ideas

Ideas and side projects.

Work outside client briefs: a disk visualiser, a rail plan for Canterbury, a video chat built around consent, and 3D models made from drawings and photos.

Archive, 2021 to 2023.
