I've always loved using Wiztree & Windirstat on Windows, but none of the Mac tools ever really spoke to me. Daisydisk is pretty, but it can hide a lot of information and the categorization was not really there, so that's why I built Tare. Fully native macOS drive scanner app built in Swift and some C here and there for optimization. For macOS 26+. The basic concept is quite straightforward. We scan the drive and then present the user with the files in a neat Treemap and treelist format. However, since we’ve already scanned the drive into memory, this enables us to incorporate some impressive features, such as: - Lightning-fast search capabilities (<0.01 milliseconds for simple queries and less than 8 milliseconds for complex ones) of any file on your device. - Extremely fast renaming (396 milliseconds for 10,000 items). - Approximately 20 milliseconds to locate duplicates. - Intelligent grouping of files, allowing us to present each simulator individually, along with Steam games (there are already several common patterns implemented, but if you have more in mind, I’d be delighted to hear them). - Over 50,000 extensions registered (including some synthetic ones for extensionless files), making it easy to view the contents of your device. Additionally, we can filter the scanned tree by extension in milliseconds. The app has a free 7-day trial and even after that you can scan your drives 3 times a day :) No telemetry whatsoever (as a matter of fact, it does not call anywhere at any point) and every single potentially destructive action requires the user's approval. Where it falls short compared to the Daisy Disk, which has a much more extensive history, is in terms of integrations (such as cloud providers) and other file system types. Currently, it’s only tested and guaranteed to work on APFS, but I’ll add support for other file systems as soon as I get my hands on one.
