Diskuse Me · disk space analyzer for macOS
See where your disk space went — and what keeps growing.
Scan a disk or folder, explore storage by location or purpose, compare scans over time, and find what is quietly taking up more space. Read-only and local.
Free to use · Diskuse Me+ is an optional one-time upgrade
Key features
Visual disk map
See which folders take the most space and drill down through the hierarchy.
Understand what the space is for
Switch from Location to Purpose. Photos, videos, music, downloads, documents, app data and caches are grouped into clear categories instead of shown only as file paths.
New in 1.3See what changed
Diskuse Me keeps a history for every location you scan. Compare it with the previous scan, highlight Recent Growth, and drill down to exactly what grew.
Growth & History
Keep a history
See how a location changes over time. Free keeps the latest 2 successful scans for each location; Diskuse Me+ keeps all successful scans within the history period you choose.
Track what matters
Keep folders and disks on Home and see a sparkline for each one. Free tracks up to 2 items with 30 days of history; Diskuse Me+ tracks up to 32 with longer history.
- New in 1.3
Menu bar
Check free space and tracked items, refresh, or open Diskuse Me without opening the main window first. Included in Free.
New in 1.3.5Find old data
The Time view lists large files, folders and apps by age. Analyze by Last Modified or Last Accessed, filter by size and purpose, and focus on what is easy to archive, recreatable, or managed by apps and macOS. Old doesn’t mean safe to delete — Diskuse Me gives you context, not cleanup commands.
New in 1.3.5See what’s only in iCloud
When scanned content is backed by iCloud, Diskuse Me can tell data stored on this Mac from files visible only in iCloud. It does not download those files and does not scan your whole iCloud account.
New in 1.3.5Copy your analysis for AI
From any analysis view, preview and copy a structured summary for your own AI tool, then ask what is taking space and what is worth reviewing. Diskuse Me itself sends nothing — you decide if and where to paste the copied text.
Recent Growth · Scan History
See what keeps growing.
A large folder tells you where your space is. Growth tells you where it is going.
- Previous scan
- Current scan
- Growth highlighted
- Drill down to the cause
Free compares the current scan with the previous successful scan. Diskuse Me+ adds Recent Growth ranges of 1, 3 and 7 days.
Your disk has a history.
Every scan can tell you what changed. Track the locations you care about to see their trend at a glance.
- Free
- Latest 2 successful scans per scope · 30 days of tracked history
- Diskuse Me+
- All successful scans within 30, 90, 180 or 365 days · longer tracked history
Understand what the space is for.
Explore storage by location, or switch to Purpose to group the same bytes by what they are: photos, videos, music, downloads, documents, app data, caches and more.
Same storage, two ways to understand it.
Unidentified flying objects? Not on your disk.
Diskuse Me recognizes common folders and data — the Photos library, iPhone backups, Messages, Mail, caches — and explains what they are in plain words. It also recognizes developer data such as Xcode, Docker and Unity. Anything it can’t identify stays under “Other”.
Tracking · Menu bar · Scheduled Refresh
Keep an eye on your disk.
Keep any folder or disk — Downloads, your Photos library, Macintosh HD — on Home. Press ↻ whenever you want a fresh reading, or let Diskuse Me+ refresh it on a schedule.
If macOS blocks access, Diskuse Me records the size as unknown instead of zero.
Diskuse Me+
Scheduled Refresh
Schedule rescans for around the time you choose. They run while Diskuse Me is open, use only permissions you’ve already granted, and never intentionally trigger new permission prompts. Launch at Login is free and helps keep schedules available after a restart.
Free vs Diskuse Me+
Diskuse Me is free to use. Diskuse Me+ is a one-time In-App Purchase for longer history and automatic refresh.
