Top Recommended Replacements

GrandPerspective 3.5

FREE

Top Professional Free Alternative

Why we like it

100% free; uses a treemap layout (rectangles) to show file sizes; late 2025 update (v3.5.3) is fully compatible with Apple M4 Silicon; allows for custom color-coding by file age or type; no background processes.

Keep in mind

The user interface is functional but 'legacy' compared to DaisyDisk; lacks the real-time 'drag-to-collector' deletion workflow.

OmniDiskSweeper

FREE

Best Minimalist Tool

Why we like it

100% free from the creators of OmniFocus; provides a clean, hierarchical list view; remarkably fast at scanning large volumes; allows for immediate 'one-click' deletion of identified junk.

Keep in mind

Lacks any graphical visualization; strictly list-based; provides less context for 'System Data' categories than DaisyDisk 4.32.

ncdu (via Homebrew)

FREE

Best for Developers

Why we like it

Terminal-based (NCurses); incredibly fast; allows you to scan and delete files directly from your shell environment; the late 2025 build is perfectly optimized for the M4 Pro/Max architecture.

Keep in mind

No GUI; requires familiarity with the command line; lacks the 'sunburst' overview for rapid discovery.

Cleamio

Best for 'System Data' Issues

Why we like it

The 2025 rising star; specializes in identifying and purging the 'System Data' category that often baffles standard analyzers; includes an AI-assisted mode to prevent accidental deletion of system-critical files.

Keep in mind

Newer, less-established brand; UI is slightly more cluttered than the minimalist DaisyDisk.
