Visualize Available Memory On Your iPhone Or iPad With Disc Space [iOS Tips]

By

DiscSpace

Yes, you can plug your iOS device into iTunes and get a bar graph of the space available, but what if you’re out and about and want to download something? How do you know at a quick glance how much space is left? Today’s tip shows you one way to do that.

Disc Space is a free app available from developer Dominic Rodemer. While his website is clearly not in English, the app is simple enough to figure out and use.

I grabbed the app from the App Store on my iPhone, but you can also get it from the iTunes Store on your computer. Once launched from your iPhone, Disc Space creates a nice 3D pie chart showing you the Used and Available memory on your device. It also computes percentage, for those of us that like to think that way, and shows the full memory Capacity of the device at the top. It matches the info I get with iTunes, so all is well.

Next time you’re out and about and wondering what’s up with your iPhone memory, perhaps Disc Space is your answer.
