|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools. | People who want saved storage history or a companion on iPhone/iPad. |
| Visualization | Storage overview, file categories, and maintenance lists | Radial pie chart, treemap, and snapshot sequences |
| Platforms and requirements | macOS 11.5+ | macOS, iOS, iPadOS |
| Pricing and editions | Vendor says free to use with all current features included. | Commercial app; check current developer and App Store purchase options. |
| Open source | No | No |
| Native macOS UI | Yes | Yes |
| Cleanup workflow | No automatic deletion after scanning; most tools use Trash by default. Secure Remove and Trash emptying are permanent. | Preview, reveal, or move selected items to the bin. |
| Reports and portability | The cited pages do not establish scan-report export. Keep any important history or paths before rescanning; retain the original files until decisions are verified. | Export a snapshot and keep it: the developer documents JSON/TSV records that can be viewed in a text editor. NullDisk does not import these snapshots. |
diCleaner: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools.
diCleaner: strengths
- Storage analysis, large/old files, and duplicate/similar-photo tools
- App uninstallation, leftovers, and startup-item review
- Selection-based cleanup with Trash defaults for most tools
Considerations
- Permanent removal and privacy tools have different effects from Trash
- App Store privacy disclosure lists some non-linked data
- Cleanup eligibility depends on files, apps, and permissions
Disk Graph: what stands out
A good fit for people who want saved storage history or a companion on iPhone/iPad.
Disk Graph: strengths
- Switch between radial charts and treemaps
- Logical size, allocated size, or file-count modes
- Export snapshots and animate changes across a sequence
Considerations
- Mobile scans cover locations accessible through Files
- Snapshots record inventory, not backed-up file contents
- Historical snapshots need a fresh scan before cleanup
For a useful comparison on your own drive, match the scan root, access permissions, and size mode. Chart style changes how you explore the results; it does not by itself establish measurement accuracy.
Common questions
When should I choose diCleaner?
A good fit for Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools. Vendor says free to use with all current features included.
When should I choose Disk Graph?
A good fit for people who want saved storage history or a companion on iPhone/iPad. Commercial app; check current developer and App Store purchase options.
Will both apps show the same size?
Not necessarily. Match the scan root, permissions, exclusions, and logical/allocated-size mode. Hard links, APFS clones, snapshots, sparse files, and cloud placeholders can change totals. A reported size is not a guaranteed amount recovered after deletion.
