paidSystem
DaisyDisk is the most beautiful disk analyzer: an interactive sunburst chart shows where space went, and file previews let you delete right from the app. Scans external drives and cloud storage. One-time purchase.
// Install
Your MacHomebrew in /opt/homebrew
brew install --cask daisydisk// What it is for
- A sunburst chart of the disk you can drill into folder by folder with single clicks
- What you find goes into a collector and is deleted in one action after review
- Scanning stays fast even on multi-terabyte drives
- Reveals hidden space taken by the system and Time Machine snapshots
// Common questions
What is the "hidden space" in the report?
Usually local Time Machine snapshots and system data that macOS reclaims by itself when needed. There is no need to delete it manually — the space comes back when something asks for it.
Worth paying when free alternatives exist?
Free GrandPerspective answers the same question. People buy DaisyDisk for scan speed, clarity, and two-step safe deletion. You are buying comfort, not capability.
