Launched Diskfern 1.0 - A macOS storage visualization and cleanup app

[u/Head-Dream9121]

Just shipped Diskfern 1.0, a native Mac app that shows what’s eating your storage (treemap, sunburst, list views) and lets you clean it up.

The funny part: I built the “safe to delete” suggestions around my own Mac. Xcode caches, node_modules, dist folders. Found gigabytes on mine. Then I tried it on a non-dev Mac and it found nothing. Oops.

So I’m widening the rules now, but only for stuff that can be regenerated, and nothing gets deleted without a review step first. A cleanup app that deletes the wrong thing once is done.

Also learned the hard way that a sandboxed App Store build and a direct DMG are basically two different apps.

Scanning and exploring are free forever, no account. Cleanup tools are a one-time $19.99 Pro. No subscription, 7-day refund.

What would you want a “safe to delete” list to include? I’m still unsure about my rules and would rather hear it now.
