The update is free for all existing customers of DaisyDisk 2.x – 3.x.

What’s new (compared to version 3.x):

• Finally, brand new look-and-feel, matching the new OS style.
• Dramatically improved scanning speed – up to 20x times faster! Now scanning takes just a few seconds, not minutes as before. (Depends on your disk and CPU models. The speed gain is most notable on newer SSDs and 4-core CPUs).
• Significantly reduced memory consumption.
• A few minor features and tweaks.

Note: All localizations except English have been temporarily removed in this version, to speed up our development. We will re-add them in future minor updates.

Finally, a new DaisyDisk 4 beta release! We’ve made some major rewrites under the hood, which dramatically boosted DaisyDisk’s scanning speed. In our benchmarks, scanning an SSD is now up to 15x faster! It means you can scan your Macbook’s disk in only 3-6 seconds – almost in no time. A real no-brainer when your disk gets full.

This is the fastest and most efficient DaisyDisk you have ever used. Your beta-testing and feedbacks are welcome: Download DaisyDisk 4 Beta (OS X Yosemite required)

Our benchmarks:
Macbook Pro 250GB SSD: ~6-7 sec (previously 120 sec)
iMac 5K 1TB Fusion: ~5-18 sec (previously 70 sec)
2011 iMac 1TB HDD: ~40 sec (previously 79 sec)

In the following few weeks we’ll be tweaking the beta and submitting the official release to the Mac App Store. A brand new website is also in the pipeline.

DaisyDisk 4 has been in public beta testing for a while already. In the meantime we decided to make this major update even more valuable by adding another important new feature. Of course, this should take us back to development for another few weeks, but we’re sure it’s totally worth it. Stay tuned!
