Keep your Mac’s paths.
Free space with your external disk.
外盘智管 · MacDisk AI — 路径不丢的外盘空间管理
MacHands relocates Safe-tier data to your external SSD and leaves symlinks at the original paths — so apps and workflows keep working.
How it works
Three clear steps. You stay in control of every move.
Choose your external volume
Pick the SSD once. MacHands remembers it by volume UUID and watches free space on your internal drive.
Review Safe-tier candidates
Old downloads, Xcode DerivedData / DeviceSupport, caches — you decide what moves. Dry-run first, always.
Relocate with paths intact
Data is copied, verified, then replaced with a symlink or stub portal. Original paths keep working. One-click restore when you need it back.

No silent deletesWe copy, verify, then link — not wipe without a trail.

FAQ
Short answers to common questions.
Is this a junk cleaner?
No. MacHands is a path-preserving storage relocation tool. It moves data you choose to an external volume and leaves links at the original paths. It is not an optimizer, antivirus, or “speed up your Mac” utility.
What happens if I unplug the external disk?
Automatic relocation pauses. Already-moved items that need the volume will prompt you to reconnect — they should not crash the app that opens them.
Do I need Full Disk Access?
Only if you want scans of protected locations. You can use MacHands with narrower access; grant FDA only when you are comfortable.
How do I buy MacHands?
Mac App Store in-app purchase is the primary paid path. A direct $49 one-time checkout is the backup when a working processor is enabled. Neither is live yet — we will not publish fake payment links. Direct Developer ID download is available below.
Will it be on the Mac App Store?
Yes — we are submitting / connecting MacHands to the Mac App Store. App Store IAP is the main monetization plan. Availability will be announced when approved; until then, treat App Store CTAs as “coming soon.”
