Tuhi, your storage assistant · What Tuhi knows

What do "Your Mac is in good shape" and "Your startup disk is getting full" mean?

Short answer: It's Tuhi's verdict on your startup disk: green means plenty of free space, orange means it's getting full and a quick Run Tuhi helps, red means it's almost full and needs attention now. It matches the menu-bar dot.

They're Tuhi's one-line verdict on your startup disk, at the top of the Home screen:

  • Your Mac is in good shape (green) — there's plenty of free space in absolute terms, even if the disk is a high percentage full.
  • Your startup disk is getting full (orange) — free space is getting low; a quick Run Tuhi gives you room to breathe.
  • Your startup disk is almost full (red) — space is critically low; act now to keep your Mac running smoothly.

The colors use the same thresholds as the menu-bar health dot, judged on gigabytes free rather than percentage.
