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

WhatSize

A fast measuring sorter with column views and cleanup tools.

+ WhatSize: Güçlü yanlar

  • Deep measuring with column, outline, and chart views
  • Finds large, duplicate, and orphaned files beyond simple sizes
  • Appeals to power users who live in column browsers

- WhatSize: Zayıf yanlar

  • Dense, technical UI with a real learning curve
  • Paid license with no free tier for casual use
  • Visualization is secondary to tables and lists
