So you think disk cleanup is a chore? Think again. The minimalist design and thought-out interactions of DaisyDisk turn it into an easy and fun experience.
Apple’s App Store has honored DaisyDisk with the “Editors’ Choice” badge and periodically features the app in various editorial articles and app collections. DaisyDisk is a three times winner of the “Best of the Year” App Store award. Over 26,100 Apple and Pixar employees use DaisyDisk.
It happens to everyone sooner or later: after a few years of accumulating photos, videos, music, and other random documents, you start to get the dreaded notifications that you’re running out of room on your hard drive. DaisyDisk is meant to help — it scans your computer and shows you just how much storage you’re using, broken down by files and folders in neat, colorful rings that make it simple to dial down to the junk that’s taking up all your space and clear out your computer.
[…] DaisyDisk is my personal favorite for analyzing disk usage on the Mac. It’s a beautiful app. […]
DaisyDisk is still my favorite disk management tool for macOS.
[…] we recommend an easy-to-use utility called DaisyDisk. This app helps you easily find and remove unneeded files you may have forgotten about.
DaisyDisk is a beautiful disk space analyzer. It’s the preference of many Mac users. […] DaisyDisk is very fast and very pretty.
Deleting files and sorting out disk-space is one of those tasks most people dread, so I can definitely appreciate that DaisyDisk has tried making it as fun (and beautiful) as possible.
The new DaisyDisk 4 has a new, flatter design […], with bright colors, it’s able to scan drives up to 20 times as fast, and it consumes less memory when in use.
DaisyDisk, chosen by Apple as a Mac App Store *‘essential’*, provides a cleaner and more interactive circular interface for [visualizing Mac’s hard drive].
For only ten bucks, DaisyDisk is a simple, convenient utility for every Mac owner, and it gets the job done well for less technically-inclined users.
DaisyDisk is simply one of the best disk utilities for finding out how a hard drive’s space is being used.
While there are a few similar apps none of them even come close to matching the beautiful DaisyDisk interface.
Internal or external, SSD or HDD, USB or Thundebolt, local or network, physical or virtual, diverse file systems — you get them all. In addition, now you can connect cloud storage.
View all your connected disks and assess their capacity & free space in real time, even ahead of scanning.
Let’s face it. So called cleaner apps are insanely popular on the Mac. The idea that the system needs periodic cleaning appeals to many people. In reality, macOS can clean itself very well, and Apple actually discourages the use of cleaner apps.
When your disk space is low, fix the real problem — find and delete the large files that you no longer need.
DaisyDisk steadily tops the rankings of the most popular utilities in the App Store all over the world.

Perfect
Intuitive, visual, fast, no bloat, no ads, no nags. Instantly see where all your space has gone. Can't think of any way to improve it, and can't imagine a Mac without it. And these days, I can't believe I bought it once YEARS ago, and I've never had to pay a penny since, despite the regular updates. One of the few apps where everything just works perfectly.

Amazing
This easy, scrumptious, well designed app will help you identify how your disk is organized in no time. It helped me delete 50GB of useless data that was hidden in corners in 15minutes. My mac can breathe now.

Wonderful for clearing space
Easy to use, a life saver when those odd files that aren't of any use build up behind the scenes and clog up the speed. Highly recommend

Works fast and does the job!
scanned my disk in less than 2 minutes, and I recovered 22 gb fast. definitely worth it

Absolute essential
DaisyDisk shows me all of the unexpected places using up disk space and makes it really easy to free up space.

Very handy tool
If you're a visual type person, this tool is really great. It's easy to use and can accurately show the beating your drive is taking in terms of space and it's MUCH faster than going through the file system on your own. And, it's really neatly and professionally done. So I definitely think it's worth the $10. Great job, guys!

Perfect Pretty!
This app is Da BOMB! Its user-interface is lovely, and it saved Me tons of space on My MAC Time Machine back-up disk. Freed up about 500GB in minutes. Such a lovely interface: one is able to see the blocks of data, click on them, and 'zoom' closer to zero-in on individual files. So useful, it should NOT be free!

Perfect
I can't remember how long I've been using this app for, but I know that I will continue to use it as long as it exists. Makes managing my drives and files an absolute breeze.

Does the job perfectly
I only use it occasionally but it quickly helps me find the files to be deleted until next time. It does exactly what is says on the tin :-)

Helped me find an app that randomly took up 300GB
I found my storage decreasing with every second, and I had no idea where, why or how this was happening. DaisyDisk is simple and powerful and took me right to the culprit.

Im in love
Best thing ive every used, absolue life changer. I feel like im actually in charge of what happens in my computer
★★★★★Howler User —
Worth the money
SW does a very nice job. It helped me root cause an issue where macOS (specifically the Bird daemon) was misbehaving and using up all available SDD space. Support is excellent. I had an email question on a Sunday evening and I received a response from the dev instantly.

Worth every penny!
Best app I've ever used to pinpoint data usage. Quickly got rid of everything I didn't need. I'll never need more than the 256GB my MacBook came with, all because of this. Never again will I let clutter fill up my computer -- because I'll have Daisy Disk to show me exactly where any unneeded data is hiding! Absolutely the most detailed, visually appealing, and simply useful disk cleanup app I've ever tried. It's just flawless.

Yeah, it's that good.
Everything to be said has already been said. It's wonderful. I remember, back in the day, I couldn't fill up 850MB. Now, I can't imagine how I'm almost filling up 1TB. Being a visual person, DaisyDisk definately helps show me where I'm wasting space.
