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
Klarity Disk: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users who prefer rectangular views and age-based browsing.
Klarity Disk: strengths
- Treemap and icicle layouts with age-based colors
- Large Files list and hidden Library visibility
- Trash-only removal with extra confirmation for large folders
Considerations
- No sunburst in the documented view selection
- Age indicates modification history, not whether a file is unnecessary
- System-folder guards intentionally limit removal

Common questions
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.
When should I choose Klarity Disk?
A good fit for Mac users who prefer rectangular views and age-based browsing. Vendor lists $6.99 once through the Mac App Store.
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.
