About DaisyDisk for Mac
DaisyDisk from Software Ambience is a beautifully designed disk space analyzer for Mac. It scans a drive and shows the result as an interactive sunburst map, where each segment is a folder or file sized by how much space it uses.
You explore by clicking into segments, preview files with Quick Look and drag anything you don’t need into the collector. When you are done, you review the collected items and delete them together — a calm, deliberate way to free up storage.
DaisyDisk is ideal when your Mac says the disk is almost full and you have no idea why. Within a minute you can usually find the forgotten downloads, videos or archives responsible.
