Disk Filler

Disk Filler is a utility app for iOS developers. The app lets you easily fill up a device's hard drive - with photos of a winking kitten - so you to test how your app deals with a (almost) full hard drive. This is useful for on-device testing of scenarios like:

  • Trying to save a file to disk when there isn't enough space available
  • The operating system removing files from your app’s temp directory
  • Your app's response to disk space alerts

How to use

The app is pretty simple - it can only do three things:

  1. Fill the whole disk. Just tap the button and wait. It may take a while for large disks with lots of free space.
  2. Clear some space. Tap or tap-and-hold the button to clear some space. Now you can test how your app responds when it is responsible for the drive running out of space.
  3. Clear all files. This removes all the winking kittens that Disk Filler has put on the hard drive.
