Clusters is a background file compression utility which uses the new HFS-compression technology in Snow Leopard to transparently compress any folders you configure it to process.
Mac OS X will read those files normally, however they will take less disk space on your hard drive.
How does Clusters work? Just select some folders to compress and Clusters will silently work in the background to compress the files contained on those folders, regaining disk space.
Here are some key features of "Clusters":
· Silent, works like magic. Download, install and forget about it. Compressed files still work even if you uninstall Clusters.
· Unobtrusive, uses spare resources. You always have your machine available when necessary.
· Save space, no catch - Clusters compresses, Mac OS reads files as always.
· Designed for reliability - Clusters detects appropriate file systems to compress and ignores sensitive system files.
· Configurable for your safety: ignore sensitive folders or extensions using your personal exclusion list.
· See results: use the menu item, or check on the preference pane - you will always know how much Clusters has saved.
· Total control - pause Clusters when you need all your Mac resources.
· Compress everything, or just a bit - select the folders you want.
· Built-in uncompressor. Drop your folders on the uncompression area and Clusters will expand them for you.
Limitations:
· This trial allows you to save up to 50 MB of disk space.
