Strengths and considerations
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
How cleanup works
Moves items to Trash; folders of 1 GB or more require slide confirmation. 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.
