Also available on the App Store but the sandbox requirement adds a minor annoyances with allowing it access to your disk.
Personally I find the big grid style visualizations make it easier to actually find large files that I don't need, like what you get with WizTree on Windows, but I'm not sure there's a current Mac option. I think DiskInventoryX is gone, but maybe Grand Perspective is still around?
I recently wanted to test DaisyDisk but ran into restrictions in the demo version as soon as I tried to drill down on something--I think it was seeing sizes of some restricted system folders?
Dear DaisyDisk developers: sorry, if you don't let me verify that it does what I need it to, I'm not paying.
A minor annoyance with GP is that when you delete a file, it doesn't update the graphics of only the deleted portion (with an option to refresh that folder alone) - you have to rescan the whole disk again to regenerate the view.
Does it understand APFS snapshots? Often, when I clean up space by removing files, my disk usage percentage remains high because snapshots are holding references to the things I’ve deleted. This makes sense, but it’s opaque to most disk analyzers, and I usually don’t remember their existence right away.
I go into list view, turn on "calculate all sizes", sort by size, and just go down the list, expanding and collapsing directories with the left and right arrow keys to see what's in them.
