Common questions

Should I replace Delve?

Apple Silicon users on macOS 26+ who want two maps and staged cleanup. Keep it if that matches your needs. Consider a change for a specific requirement such as a different chart, remote sources, report exports, or development cleanup.

What are free alternatives to Delve?

GrandPerspective and SquirrelDisk offer free open-source analysis. OmniDiskSweeper is free on Mac. All direct Mac features in NullDisk are free with reminders; reminder removal is optional. Freeware does not necessarily mean open source.

Do I need to transfer a scan?

No. Keep any historical exports you need and run a fresh scan of the same location. NullDisk does not import these apps’ saved scans or cleanup queues.
