  • Fast scanning with a built-in collector for staged deletion
  • Long-running Mac citizen with polished onboarding

- DaisyDisk: Słabości

  • Paid license; no free or open-source tier
  • macOS only, so mixed-OS households need a second tool
  • Collector workflow is manual — no duplicate detection or AI assistance

Disk Inventory X

The classic treemap visualizer, revived for Apple Silicon Macs.

+ Disk Inventory X: Mocne strony

  • 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: Słabości

  • Interface shows its age despite the revival builds
  • No collector tray, previews, or modern sandbox handling
