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.
