Hex Folder Scanner
Hex Folder Scanner is a file system utility for macOS that scans directories and presents detailed information about folder contents, file sizes, and disk usage patterns. It is intended for users who need to identify large files, understand storage distribution across directories, or audit what is consuming disk space on their Mac. The app appears to be a niche utility for power users and system administrators managing storage.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information about whether Hex Folder Scanner has a native Apple Silicon build. Given that we are now in May 2026 and Apple will remove Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), you have roughly 28 months before this Intel-only build will stop launching. If you rely on this app, your best immediate steps are to contact the developer directly through the bundle ID domain (alfonsotesauro.com if reachable) and ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or already available. You may also check the Mac App Store if the app is distributed there, as that platform sometimes shows architecture information. If the developer is unresponsive or has abandoned the project, consider looking at alternatives like DiskSight, Disk Diag, or the free tool OmniDiskSweeper — all of which run natively on Apple Silicon and provide similar folder-scanning and storage-analysis capabilities.
