Running out of disk space is a challenge most Mac users face at some point. Searching for files to safely remove can be time-consuming and frustrating, especially when sifting through countless folders. Disk Diet makes it easy, scanning your drive in under a minute to free up gigabytes of wasted space by targeting areas like:

• Application Logs
• System Logs
• Caches
• Trash
• Downloads
• Mail Downloads
• Old iOS Software Updates
• Unused applications
• Unused language translations from applications
• Developer Folders from Xcode
• iPhoto Trash

To ensure optimal performance, Disk Diet is built as a Universal Binary 2, running natively on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs.

Originally released in 2011, Disk Diet was the first disk cleaning app for macOS and has been continuously updated for more than a decade. Now fully compatible with macOS 15 Sequoia and Apple silicon, it continues to be the trusted choice for Mac users. With a MacWorld GEM award, and over 100,000 downloads, Disk Diet remains the premier disk utility every Mac user needs.

It's Fast

Disk Diet is extremely fast because it uses Grand Central Dispatch (GCD), a technology in macOS that allows the use of every single CPU core.

During a clean, the only limiting factor is the speed of the drive.

With a modern SSD, it only takes about 10-20 seconds to scan and determine which files can be removed to free up space.

Get Back Gigabytes

It's likely right now that there are gigabytes of space on your Mac that are being taken up by files that are either forgotten or hard to find.

See the handy space bar at the top of Disk Diet that displays stats about the drive along with how much of the used space is junk and can be safely freed up.

Removed Unused Applications

Once common source of wasted space is applications that haven't been used in a long time. Disk Diet gives the option to automatically select applications that haven't been used:

  • In the last month
  • In the last year
  • In the last 2 years
Or individual applications can be chosen from the list.

Available in Multiple Languages

Disk Diet has been localized for eight languages to ensure that it's clear what each area is for before cleaning anything. Just click the help icon on the right of an area to get a helpful popover.

Disk Diet is available in:

  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Spanish
  • Russian
  • Japanese
  • Chinese (Simplified)

An example of the Caches help popover in both English and Japanese.

Ready for macOS 15 Sequoia

Disk Diet is designed to look and perform great, whether you’re using dark mode or light mode. It runs seamlessly on macOS 10.13 High Sierra all the way up to macOS 15 Sequoia.

As a Universal Binary, it’s optimized to run natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, ensuring top-notch speed and efficiency.

For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later, Disk Diet is notarized by Apple for malware-free assurance and protected by the Hardened Runtime, guaranteeing the app’s authenticity and integrity from Tunabelly Software.

How to use Disk Diet

Disk Diet is easy to use, with in-app prompts on how to set everything up so there isn't an in-depth tutorial.

Here are some helpful tips to help out:

  • The App Store version is sandboxed and will prompt once to choose some folders so it has access. For extra help, read this.
  • Cleaning system logs and extra languages requires a helper app which can be downloaded here: Disk Diet Helper.
