Delve

An honest APFS-aware treemap plus sunburst with collector cleanup.

+ Delve: Styrker

  • Both treemap and sunburst views with APFS-aware measurement
  • Collector tray stages deletions before they happen
  • Honest marketing about what can and can't be reclaimed

- Delve: Svagheder

  • Newer entrant — fewer reviews and community resources
  • macOS only, no Windows or mobile companion
  • Smaller feature surface than all-in-one suites

GrandPerspective

The tiny open-source treemap that shows your biggest files instantly.

+ GrandPerspective: Styrker

  • Free and open source with a tiny footprint
  • Treemap rectangles make the single biggest space hog obvious
  • Fast rescans and a loyal power-user community

- GrandPerspective: Svagheder

  • Treemap UI is utilitarian — no sunburst, no guided cleanup
  • No collector tray or duplicate finder; deletion is file-by-file
  • Development pace is slow compared with commercial rivals
