Mocne strony & Słabości
＋ Mocne strony
- Deep measuring with column, outline, and chart views

－ Słabości
- Dense, technical UI with a real learning curve
- Paid license with no free tier for casual use
- Visualization is secondary to tables and lists
Who WhatSize is for
Fans of list visualization on macOS. If instead you want a native Mac sunburst with a staged, Trash-based cleanup and zero telemetry, that's NullDisk's whole pitch.
The NullDisk alternative
- A radial sunburst map instead of lists or treemaps — see usage at a glance and drill in with a click.
- Honest one-time purchase instead of subscriptions or gated tiers.
- Fully offline with a published zero-data policy — nothing ever leaves your Mac.

Częste pytania
Is WhatSize worth it?
WhatSize is worth a look if you like list views and paid pricing on macOS. A fast measuring sorter with column views and cleanup tools. For a native Mac map with a staged cleanup workflow, compare it against NullDisk before deciding.
Is WhatSize safe?
WhatSize is as safe as its workflow: it deletes from ranked lists. Whatever you choose, prefer tools that stage deletions or use the Trash — which is exactly how NullDisk's collector works.
Does WhatSize work on Apple Silicon?
Yes — WhatSize runs on modern Macs, including Apple Silicon. If nativeness matters to you, NullDisk is built SwiftUI-first for macOS 14 and up.
W skrócie
WhatSize: deep measuring with column, outline, and chart views — but dense, technical UI with a real learning curve. Weigh that trade honestly against NullDisk's native map, staged collector, and zero-data promise.
