What The App Shows

SpaceVue displays two main storage panels:

• Internal NAND: the Switch internal user storage partition
• microSD: the inserted SD card storage

Each panel shows:

• available free space
• total capacity
• used space
• used percentage
• storage health state

The footer shows combined capacity, free space, and used space across all available storage devices.

Building From Source

Most users should install SpaceVue from the latest GitHub release. Building from source is only needed if you want to modify the app or create your own build.

Requirements

• devkitPro
• devkitA64
• libnx
• SDL2 for Switch
• SDL2_ttf for Switch
• make

Install the required Switch development packages using the official devkitPro setup for your platform.

Build

From the project root, run:

make

The build output is written to:

out/<version>/SpaceVue.nro

For the current source version, that is:

out/3.0.1/SpaceVue.nro

To clean generated build files:

make clean
