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

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.
