Diskfern helps you understand what's consuming storage on your Mac, find unnecessary files, and reclaim space without guessing.

Explore your disk through three visualization modes: Treemap, Sunburst, and List. Find large files, investigate System Data, and identify storage consumed by developer tools, Xcode, Docker, caches, build artifacts, and local AI models.

Features

  • Three Storage Views: Explore disk usage through Treemap, Sunburst, and List.
  • 44 Smart Highlight Categories: Find developer caches, build artifacts, logs, temporary files, and other storage clutter.
  • Natural-Language Finder: Search using everyday queries such as "videos larger than 1 GB" or "PDFs from this month".
  • File Inspector: View file sizes, locations, permissions, and Quick Look previews.
  • Disk Advisor: Get on-device explanations of unfamiliar files and cleanup candidates using Apple Intelligence on supported Macs.
  • Guided Cleanup: Review candidates using Safe, Review First, and Protected classifications before moving approved files to Trash.
  • Collector: Gather and review cleanup candidates together.

Privacy

Diskfern performs scanning and analysis locally. Your files and scan results stay on your Mac. Nothing is removed without your approval.

Performance

Tested on an Apple M4 MacBook Air with 16 GB memory, Diskfern scanned 2.886 million files in 16.055 seconds. See the full benchmark methodology and results at https://www.diskfern.com/benchmarks.
