The big picture first: how much space is free, how much is used, and where it goes by category and file type — before you dive into any detail.
One fast scan, six ways to understand it, and a design that respects your privacy.
The big picture first: how much space is free, how much is used, and where it goes by category and file type — before you dive into any detail.
Every file becomes a tile sized by how much space it takes. Color the map by file type to spot what kind of data dominates, or switch to a size heatmap to find the single biggest offenders.
A ring chart that mirrors your folder tree. Click any segment to drill in and follow space down through the hierarchy, toggle labels, and export the dial as a PNG.
When you want the numbers, the Details table sorts every folder and file by size, count or date — and exports the whole report to CSV or a shareable HTML file.
Filter the entire scan by name as you type. Switch on regular expressions for precise matches, and choose whether folders count as results too.
DiskLens compares files by their actual content, so it finds true duplicates even when the names differ — then leaves the cleanup decision to you.
Under the hood
DiskLens reads each folder with a single bulk system call instead of stat-ing files one by one. Scans finish quickly and stay easy on the CPU, even across millions of files.
By default a scan stays on the volume you chose and skips mounted network shares and external drives — so a single mapped share can't quietly inflate the totals. One toggle includes them when you do want them.
The sidebar remembers the folders you scan most and lets you pin the ones you return to, so your next scan is one click away.
Sandboxed, with no network access at all. DiskLens reads only the folders you grant it, collects nothing, and keeps every byte on your Mac.
DiskLens is coming to the Mac App Store for macOS 26.
