Delve / Comparisons
If you liked Disk Inventory X’s treemap, start with another visualizer that clearly supports your current macOS version.
Khaos Studios makes Delve. This comparison draws on the official product documentation linked below.
Disk Inventory X’s official website lists version 1.3 for macOS 10.13 through 10.15. It remains a free, GPL-licensed treemap utility. That published range does not establish support for later versions of macOS.
If you are replacing it after a Mac upgrade, choose by supported operating system and workflow. A familiar name on a download page is not enough to establish that a separate fork is the original developer’s release.
| App | What stays familiar | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| GrandPerspective | Free, open-source treemap | Current release supports macOS 14+ on Intel and Apple Silicon |
| Delve | Rectangular view of file and folder sizes | Adds a sunburst and Collector; $4.99 once or free through referrals; macOS 26+, Apple Silicon |
| DaisyDisk | Visual exploration of disk usage | Uses a sunburst; $9.99 direct; macOS 10.13+, Intel and Apple Silicon |
Use the official GrandPerspective, DaisyDisk, and Delve requirements when choosing a download.
GrandPerspective is the most direct place to start if the essential requirements are a rectangular storage map and an open-source license. It adds configurable filters, Quick Look previews, saved scans, and exports.
Its latest release requires macOS 14 or later. The developer lists earlier releases for older versions, which is useful if you maintain more than one generation of Mac.
Delve lets you inspect a scan as a treemap or sunburst. Preview a file, check its location, and gather selected items in the Collector before moving them to the Trash. This workflow is useful when you want a broad view first and a deliberate cleanup step afterward.
The requirements are narrower: an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later. The 14-day trial lets you evaluate it with your own folders before supporting our work for $4.99 once or getting the app free through referrals.
A disk analyzer helps locate the next thing to review. For a broader cleanup process, follow our Mac storage guide.
Yes. Its official site offers version 1.3 and lists macOS 10.13 through 10.15. Check the published requirements rather than assuming support for a newer macOS release.
GrandPerspective provides a free, open-source treemap through its official SourceForge download. Its current version requires macOS 14 or later, with older releases available.
A separately maintained fork can have different requirements, release practices, and behavior. Check its maintainer and documentation independently; this comparison covers the original official release.
No. Delve requires Apple Silicon and macOS 26 or later. GrandPerspective and DaisyDisk publish Intel-compatible options.
