Cheer to the developers!

Hi, this is just one happy user popping into to say hi! I originally got Daisy Disk in a bundle back in 2013. Since that Daisy Disk has been doing what it keeps doing month in month out .. It's so ubiquitous to my computer-cleaning-life that I don't know how people without it survive. I consider it money well spent. The current version (4) came out in 2015 - there's no needless version upgrade so they can charge you more money here .. I actually came here looking for one so could throw them a few more dollars there way and be a loyal customer.. But that's not their style - and so I'll wait for V5.

Brilliant in Design and Function

Buy, Install, Scan and watch in awe as the App builds your disk visual image. Navigate to your extra large/troublesome folders and (right mouse click) to preview any file or backtrack (command+arrow up). Drag drop to the Collection Bin (you can change your mind later) then Delete. The App Store app version will not show you Hidden Space, but you can download the stand-alone version for free (so, you can use either or both). Investment in your time and nerves. There are free alternatives (omnidisksweeper) but nothing matches DaisyDisk in elegance and brilliance.

Perfect

Intuitive, visual, fast, no bloat, no ads, no nags. Instantly see where all your space has gone. Can't think of any way to improve it, and can't imagine a Mac without it. And these days, I can't believe I bought it once YEARS ago, and I've never had to pay a penny since, despite the regular updates. One of the few apps where everything just works perfectly.
