| Native macOS UI | Not verified | Cross-platform interface |
| Cleanup workflow | Not verified from the public overview; inspect the app’s removal confirmation before acting. | The project documents context-menu actions to locate, open, and delete files or directories; confirm recovery behavior in the selected build. |
| Reports and portability | Export support is unverified. Preserve useful paths and compare fresh scans of the same location. | Consult the exact build’s save/export controls. Keep any generated data and images; NullDisk does not document importing Space Radar sessions. |
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
Space Radar: what stands out
A good fit for developers exploring alternative visualizations and an inspectable codebase.
Space Radar: strengths
- Sunburst, treemap, and flamegraph visualizations
- MIT-licensed source for inspection and modification
- Disk and memory visualization in one project
Considerations
- Packaging and dependencies vary across repository versions
- Check the current release for your OS and CPU
- Do not infer cleanup or report formats from the chart selection
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 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 Space Radar?
A good fit for developers exploring alternative visualizations and an inspectable codebase. Free under the MIT license; check repository build/release instructions.
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.
