| Open source | No | No |
| Native macOS UI | Yes | Cross-platform interface |
| Cleanup workflow | Stage items in the Collector, then send the reviewed batch to Trash. | Confirmed collector action: Trash/Recycle Bin or permanent deletion. Duplicates use Trash/Recycle Bin. |
| Reports and portability | The developer documents exporting maps as posters with Command-Shift-E. Keep that image as a reference; it is not a scan file that NullDisk can import. | The vendor describes recent locations, not an interoperable report format. Preserve paths and collector selections separately before rescanning. |
Delve: what stands out
A good fit for Apple Silicon users on macOS 26+ who want two maps and staged cleanup.
Delve: strengths
- Treemap, sunburst, and file list
- Logical and on-disk measurement with filtering
- Quick Look, collector-to-Trash, and map image export
Considerations
- Requires macOS 26 or later
- Apple Silicon only in the current requirements
- A map export is a visual record, not a file backup
Diskaroo: what stands out
A good fit for users wanting one account-based analyzer across Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Diskaroo: strengths
- Treemap, sunburst, filters, and largest-items list
- Collector with Trash/Recycle Bin or explicit permanent removal
- Content-based duplicates; Quick Look on Mac
Considerations
- Requires an account before the first scan
- Current free offer depends on claiming Pro in the app
- Linux build requirements include GTK 4
For a useful comparison on your own drive, match the scan root, access permissions, and size mode. Chart style changes how you explore the results; it does not by itself establish measurement accuracy.
Common questions
When should I choose Delve?
A good fit for Apple Silicon users on macOS 26+ who want two maps and staged cleanup. Vendor lists $4.99 once after a 14-day trial.
When should I choose Diskaroo?
A good fit for users wanting one account-based analyzer across Mac, Windows, and Linux. Vendor currently offers lifetime Pro free with a Bravely Account; sign-in is required.
Will both apps show the same size?
Not necessarily. Match the scan root, permissions, exclusions, and logical/allocated-size mode. Hard links, APFS clones, snapshots, sparse files, and cloud placeholders can change totals. A reported size is not a guaranteed amount recovered after deletion.
