Disk Inventory X

The classic treemap visualizer, revived for Apple Silicon Macs.

+ Disk Inventory X: Styrker

  • Free and open source with decades of trust
  • Treemap plus file-type breakdowns in one window
  • Community revival builds run natively on Apple Silicon

- Disk Inventory X: Svakheter

  • Interface shows its age despite the revival builds
  • No collector tray, previews, or modern sandbox handling
  • Fork landscape (X vs Xs vs Y) can confuse new users

SpacePeek

A read-only Quick Look inspector for folders and archives.

+ SpacePeek: Styrker

  • Read-only by design — it cannot delete anything, so it's extra safe
  • Peeks inside folders and archives with Finder-style Quick Look
  • Very cheap Pro unlock

- SpacePeek: Svakheter

  • Read-only means no cleanup workflow at all
  • No sunburst or treemap overview of a whole drive
  • Niche tool, not a full disk analyzer
