A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build.

- Windows and Linux are described as coming soon
- Current chart type is not verified from readable documentation

JDiskReport: what stands out
A good fit for users who want cross-platform disk statistics and already use Java.
JDiskReport: strengths
- Disk usage statistics in charts and tables
- Runs across Java-capable desktop systems
- Free without ads or expiry
Considerations
- Requires a compatible Java runtime
- Freeware rather than an open-source project
- Check the manual for report storage and file-management actions
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 DiskPoint?
A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build. Vendor advertises a free download, with no ads or subscription.
When should I choose JDiskReport?
A good fit for users who want cross-platform disk statistics and already use Java. No-charge, ad-free freeware; this does not mean open source.
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.
