GrandPerspective

The tiny open-source treemap that shows your biggest files instantly.

+ GrandPerspective: Styrkor

  • Free and open source with a tiny footprint
  • Treemap rectangles make the single biggest space hog obvious
  • Fast rescans and a loyal power-user community

- GrandPerspective: Svagheter

  • Treemap UI is utilitarian — no sunburst, no guided cleanup
  • No collector tray or duplicate finder; deletion is file-by-file
  • Development pace is slow compared with commercial rivals

SpaceLens

A bubble-map storage explorer inside the CleanMyMac suite.

+ SpaceLens: Styrkor

  • Beautiful bubble-map view distinct from sunbursts and treemaps
  • One click from analysis to automated cleanup inside the suite
  • Backed by MacPaw's large support and update operation

- SpaceLens: Svagheter

  • Requires the full CleanMyMac suite — no standalone purchase
  • Subscription push where single-purpose rivals charge once
  • Suite scope means deeper scans can feel like an upsell path
