Strengths and considerations
Strengths
- Treemap, sunburst, and file list
- Logical and on-disk measurement with filtering
- Quick Look, collector-to-Trash, and map image export
Considerations
- Requires macOS 26 or later
- Apple Silicon only in the current requirements
- A map export is a visual record, not a file backup
How cleanup works
Stage items in the Collector, then send the reviewed batch to Trash. Confirm each file’s path and purpose before removing it. Items in Trash still occupy storage until it is emptied.
How NullDisk compares
A native Mac disk analyzer with radial and treemap views, SSH/cloud sources, and development cleanup. Consider it for Git-aware development cleanup or a workflow spanning local, SSH, and cloud storage. The separate CLI provides terminal browsing and structured reports.
All direct Mac features are free with reminders; an optional one-time license removes them.
NullDisk has no content-based duplicate finder. Its Mac app sends anonymous usage telemetry; read the privacy policy if that affects your choice.
