DaisyDisk

The beloved sunburst map that made disk cleanup beautiful.

＋ DaisyDisk: Сильні сторони

  • Gorgeous, instantly readable sunburst map with smooth drill-in
  • Fast scanning with a built-in collector for staged deletion
  • Long-running Mac citizen with polished onboarding

－ DaisyDisk: Слабкості

  • 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: Сильні сторони

  • 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: Слабкості

  • Interface shows its age despite the revival builds
  • No collector tray, previews, or modern sandbox handling
  • Fork landscape (X vs Xs vs Y) can confuse new users
