Strengths and considerations
Strengths
- Storage analysis, large/old files, and duplicate/similar-photo tools
- App uninstallation, leftovers, and startup-item review
- Selection-based cleanup with Trash defaults for most tools
Considerations
- Permanent removal and privacy tools have different effects from Trash
- App Store privacy disclosure lists some non-linked data
- Cleanup eligibility depends on files, apps, and permissions
How cleanup works
No automatic deletion after scanning; most tools use Trash by default. Secure Remove and Trash emptying are permanent. 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.
