diCleaner: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools.
diCleaner: strengths
- Storage analysis, large/old files, and duplicate/similar-photo tools
- App uninstallation, leftovers, and startup-item review
- Selection-based cleanup with Trash defaults for most tools
Considerations
- Permanent removal and privacy tools have different effects from Trash
- App Store privacy disclosure lists some non-linked data
- Cleanup eligibility depends on files, apps, and permissions
DiskPoint: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build.
DiskPoint: strengths
- Free Mac download advertised by the vendor
- Vendor states analysis stays local without tracking
- Accepts community requests and bug reports
Considerations
- Windows and Linux are described as coming soon
- Current chart type is not verified from readable documentation
- Export and deletion semantics are not established by the cited page
For a useful comparison on your own drive, match the scan root, access permissions, and size mode. Chart style changes how you explore the results; it does not by itself establish measurement accuracy.
Common questions
When should I choose diCleaner?
A good fit for Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools. Vendor says free to use with all current features included.
When should I choose DiskPoint?
A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build. Vendor advertises a free download, with no ads or subscription.
Will both apps show the same size?
Not necessarily. Match the scan root, permissions, exclusions, and logical/allocated-size mode. Hard links, APFS clones, snapshots, sparse files, and cloud placeholders can change totals. A reported size is not a guaranteed amount recovered after deletion.
