What's on the Storage Studio Home screen?

\n

Short answer: Home shows a plain-English verdict on your space, the Tuhi Ask box, the one-tap Run Tuhi button, live status and storage gauges, quick stats, a storage-over-time chart and links to the deeper tools.

\n

Home is the first thing you see in the Intelligence view, built to answer one question instantly: am I OK on space, and if not, what do I do?

\n

From top to bottom you'll find:

\n
  • The verdict — one plain-English line, such as "Your Mac has plenty of space", or a clear nudge if it's getting tight.
  • The Tuhi Ask box — type a storage question and get an answer from your Mac's real numbers.
  • Run Tuhi — the big one-tap clean-up button.
  • Live status and gauges — what's happening now, and free space on your Mac and external drive.
  • At-a-glance stats and a storage-over-time chart.
  • Quick links to deeper tools like What's Using Space, Data Parking and Data Transfers.
