GrandPerspective uses a tree map for visualization which isn’t quite as easy to read at first as DaisyDisk, but is easy to decipher when you’re used to the app.įiles are displayed as a rectangle proportional to the file’s size and you simply click on rectangles to see which files they represent. ![]() GrandPerspective is another storage management utility for Mac which clearly shows what’s on your Mac hard drive. If you do decide to buy DaisyDisk, we recommend buying direct from the developer rather than the DaisyDisk Mac App Store version as the developer edition has a few more features that aren’t in the App Store version for technical reasons. You can use DaisyDisk for free although if you upgrade for $9, you can remove the upgrade nag screen, get access to all functions including app deletion and free updates among other things. If you’re really struggling to find a large file on your Mac, guaranteed that DaisyDisk will help you find it. The other good thing for those unsure what’s safe to delete or not is that DaisyDisk prevents you from deleting essential system files. What we really like about DaisyDisk is that you can click on the pie segments and drill down to see specific files within folders and locate them instantly in Finder. It’s one of the few tools that can detect disk hogging snapshots on macOS Ventura and Monterey and allow you to select which ones to keep and which to delete.ĭaisyDisk quickly scans your hard drive and then clearly displays a pie-chart view of how much space specific files are using on your Mac. ![]()
