diCleaner: what stands out

A good fit for Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools.

  • App uninstallation, leftovers, and startup-item review
  • Selection-based cleanup with Trash defaults for most tools

Considerations

  • Permanent removal and privacy tools have different effects from Trash
  • App Store privacy disclosure lists some non-linked data
  • Cleanup eligibility depends on files, apps, and permissions

Nektony Disk Space Analyzer Pro: strengths

  • Sunburst, largest-items list, and Quick Look
  • Collect items for moving or removing
  • Scans external storage and accessible cloud folders

Considerations

  • Paid edition distinct from the free-download listing
  • Access depends on macOS permissions and chosen scan locations

When should I choose Nektony Disk Space Analyzer Pro?

A good fit for people who prefer an upfront App Store purchase with visual analysis and collections. US Mac App Store lists $19.99 upfront; check your region’s current listing.

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.
