What Are Mac File Management Apps?
File management apps extend Finder with better search, duplicate detection, disk usage visualization, batch renaming and folder synchronization.

If your main problem is disk space, look for a storage analyzer or large file finder. If your problem is chaos, look for tagging, rules and automation features.
