Find the files taking up disk space using a visual map of their sizes.

What you can use it for

Find the files taking up disk space using a visual map of their sizes.

  • See file sizes across a scanned folder or disk in a treemap.
  • Find large items, filter the view and reveal files in Finder.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Scan local Mac storage and identify large files through a treemap, with Finder navigation. Not every DaisyDisk cloud, protected-space or purgeable-storage function.

Before you switch

Use the free SourceForge download; the App Store edition is paid. The current 3.8 release needs macOS 14 or later; older supported downloads are listed separately. Protected folders can require Full Disk Access. Local file-size analysis only: no complete DaisyDisk cloud, purgeable-space or APFS accounting parity. Deleting files is a separate user action.

Alternatives to these paid apps

Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
