SpacePeek

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

+ SpacePeek: Güçlü yanlar

  • 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: Zayıf yanlar

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

SquirrelDisk

+ SquirrelDisk: Güçlü yanlar

  • Free and open source on every desktop OS
  • Genuinely easy sunburst experience
  • No account, no telemetry, no upsell

- SquirrelDisk: Zayıf yanlar

  • Java-based UI rather than native Mac controls
  • No collector tray or staged-removal workflow
  • Solo-maintainer pace on features and fixes
