Nice app, easy to understand interface.  It easily helped me free up 40 GB in a matter of about 5 minutes.  Thanks MacHeist!

Well, as for UI…
Have anyone tried hitting space while pointing at files or dropping folders to DaisyDisk's window?

Daisy Disk is incredibly intuitive to use. Almost immediately I was impressed on just how many ways you can actually "navigate" your hard drive. The free form interface made finding wasted space a breeze.

1.) The quality and presentation of this app are quite beautiful. The opaque black background that floats above my desktop is classy, and the color choices used for differentiating files and folders on your hard drive not only make for great eye candy, they enhance navigation.

2.) You're not limited to just scanning your Macintosh HD, you can scan Windows NTFS drives as well if you desire. They take a little longer, but the fact that I can use this program across multiple hard drives is a huge bonus.

3.) Navigation is quite wonderful. I can click down into my folders by clicking on any of the colored segments, go up a directory by pressing the central circle when desired (or by pressing the arrow button on the navigation bar), and select any of my Macintosh HD main folders by selecting them from the sidebar. It works the way you want it to, which makes for user friendly navigation even for the newest Mac users.

With this application, I've found over 50GB of space that I was able to identify and either delete, or move off to an external hard drive.

I like the application a lot

FYI, this was in Mac Bundle Box

so freebies don't count for the "no repeats rule?

not complaining, as free and fun adventure to earn

Yeah, the no repeats rule generally applies to 'season bundles', and not things like individual freebies or things like the giving tree.

Very neat app. Another great app I would never have bought but is very useful.

I wish the app didn't quit when you click on X though.

sacrat, Thank you for your help,it is very cool ^_~

Whoa, cool. Are those features of DaisyDisk 2, or are those available now?

After further poking around, I have to agree that the eye candy actually really compliments what DD is supposed to do. I also find DD's pie chart much easier to read than the pie chart in WhatSize.

This is glorious. I just got rid of iTunes files which had been removed from iTunes, not my  drive, and got 6GB back.

Very timely.  I recently noticed that JDiskReport, my previous go-to app for this task, seemed to stop working once I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and this seems like it will suit me fine!

This app is extraordinary. Thank you Sacrat and Macheist!

Thanks for the great app.  I also like how the icon in my dock shows the scan status.

Is this app like CleanMyMac, or is it purely a visual app?

I'm really liking this app. Very intuitive interface. It isn't slowing my system down any and I'm on an early 2006 iMac

It shouldn't. By design
DaisyDisk works good on Macs with just 1GB of RAM (come on, 1GB is nothing for Leopard), but starting from 2GB things get better. Besides, not many people really have too complex snapshots.

DaisyDisk Team member

It's not fair to address all thanks to me personally, I'm just an interaction designer (person responsible for UI)

DaisyDisk Team member

The UI is just marvellous. Your entire team deserves much thanks. Once the new version is out, I most likely will end up buying it. Since getting my copy of DaisyDisk, I've freed up ~30GB of space.

Not bad for a start.
For me it saved something like 1TB already (yes, I have a pack of external drives).

DaisyDisk Team member

Thanks!

I think it's awesome and I already freed up about 17gigs worth of space just poking around.

I honestly don't know that I would buy it for $20, but I will enjoy it for now and decide later when I see what new features are added.

Taking feature requests?  How about finding duplicate files and highlighting them (maybe pulse the colors) so you can quickly see that you have 2 of the same movie on the drive.  What about right-click (command-click) and be able to delete (and safe delete) files directly from the interface instead of jumping to Finder?  I also would not mind being able to adjust the transparency.

And if any of this exists and I haven't found it, please let me know. 

Thanks and man... superb UI.

As I already mentioned, in-app deletion will be in DaisyDisk 2. There's really a lot of work needed in order to implement this feature the way we want.

Duplicate finding is unlikely as making a decent duplicate file detector means a lot of work the vast majority of users wouldn't even notice. For example, files may be on different volumes, including network ones, they may have different names or metadata and so on. I don't even talk about situations like "I have this video in both QuickTime and MKV formats"
If these files are large, you'll see them anyway.

DaisyDisk is not a general-purpose maintenance tool, cache cleaner or file browser. We wanted it to make just one thing (help eliminating space hogs) and do it well.

On my Mac mini, I have a 160 GB HD with only 2 GB free space. I use it primarily for multimedia as its hooked to a LCD TV.

Any ideas on how I can get some more space...? Here is how it looks...

get a new Mac Mini.... or an iMac

Green Monkeys, the only true monkeys

I can bet most of the space is taken by multimedia stuff.
Why not just buy an external 1TB or 2TB drive and move movies there?
Sooth to say I have two of such drives connected to my mini, not even mentioning that my home Macs need to place their Time Machine backups somewhere

DaisyDisk Team member

Hmm.... So I guess there's no place to empty some disk space.

I am a bit busy these days, but am planning to upgrade to SnowLeopard next month and will get a 4TB external drive.

BTW, is there a Mac mini with 1 TB HD ? (If I make a made-to-order one) ? In that case how much could I get if I sell my current mini ? (2.0 GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD), its a year old.

Well, you cannot recover space if you don't delete, move or compress something.

As for 1Tb minis, take a look as ministacks, these might be a better option for you.

DaisyDisk Team member

Great App!  I cleared up 8GB!!  Here is my HD now (scanning took less than 5 mins):

Let's go Green Team!!!

sacrat, thank you for this great app.

PS и ещё отдельное спасибо за русскую локализацию.

iMac G5 iSight

Congrats!

btw, there's a small difference between DaisyDisk you get from our site and one downloaded from MacHeist.
It's the icon. Original application icon (one on my avatar) has been created by Ekaterina Prokofieva while MacHeist version features a more colorful version by Wolfgang Bartelme.

DaisyDisk Team member

Neat app.  Very useful.

Thanks a bunch!

I was on the web before there was a web. 

Follow me here:  Twitter

This thing that I really admire here isn't that the app is awesome and free (although that is quality, don't get me wrong) but what I like is that sacrat the developer is on here answering all questions and problems. I usually only buy into a product in the service is good. Example is I tried Cornerstone & Versions for my subversion needs. I liked Cornerstone more but the service was MUCH better from the Versions team. For that reason I bought their product.

With this in mind I would happily buy a product I needed if developed by the DaisyDisk team.

People sometime don't think about the customer service.

Spot on.

Anybody know how to make the ripple effect from the screenshot on the website?

Also, what is the Super-User for?

Ministacks are nice. But very expensive! $100 for just the enclosure. I'd prefer to go for a branded HD (that I can trust) like LaCie or WD. I like this one: http://www.123macmini.com/accessories/reviews/121.html
But its only till 500GB, not even 1 TB. And I checked the Apple website, the Mac mini can only have ipto 500GB space, 1TB minis are hacked.

I want a good 2TB HD for around $250 and would like to know how much I can get for my mini (2.0 GHz, 2GB RAM, 160 GB HD), a year old.

I'll then get a new mini with 500GB HD and a 2TB external drive.

Read my post above about ripple

Super-user lets you scan volume with admin privileges. That's especially helpful if you have multiple user accounts (they're just invisible to many other tools) or have an external disk with messed up permissions.

How do I get this app?  I looked in loot, and all I see is the minione racing...

This may replace WhatSize in my app folder - Very nice!

Sorry, but questions like
How do I get the app?
How to use MacHeist?

are slightly out of my competence.

Sacrat - Thanks for the copy and for working with MacHeist. I expect the word will get out about your great app. Simply beautiful!
