What DaisyDisk doesn't do

DaisyDisk is a solid disk visualizer, but it stops at showing you a sunburst chart. DiskCopilot picks up where DaisyDisk leaves off.

AI tells you what's safe to delete

DaisyDisk shows file sizes but never explains what a file is. DiskCopilot lets you right-click any file and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity whether it's safe to remove.

Actually free, not just a trial

DaisyDisk's "free" version is a time-limited trial. DiskCopilot's free tier includes core scanning and AI consult with no expiry—use it forever.

Configurable scans

DaisyDisk has no exclusion settings, no depth control, and no scan history. DiskCopilot lets you exclude folders, set scan depth, and track every scan over time.
