About

Diskfern is a native macOS utility for analyzing storage and reviewing files for cleanup. It scans a Mac’s startup disk, home folder, selected folders, and connected drives, then organizes accessible files in treemap, list, and sunburst views. Users can compare folder sizes, search indexed file names with natural-language queries, apply filters, and use Smart Highlights to locate common storage such as developer caches, logs, downloads, and application data. File inspection provides size, location, permissions, safety labels, and Quick Look previews. Pro and Family add a review-based cleanup Collector, app removal, and one-click staging of selected items before they are moved to Trash. Disk Advisor can explain scan findings using Apple’s on-device language model on supported Macs. Diskfern is designed for Mac users who want to understand local disk usage and decide what to remove; scanning and storage analysis run on the Mac.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Can recover RAW files from memory cards (including CF and SD cards); - Full file preview after drive scanning
  • Nothing about this software is satisfactory! They do not stand behind their product! They offer a free trial, but they say it recovers a limited number of files. They therefore trick you into buying the Pro version, promising stellar results and lifetime upgrades. This is not inexpensive software! I ran it with the most thorough and aggressive settings possible to recover a 1 TB HDD which had been unintentionally formatted. It took over 10 hours to run the scan! IT DID NOT RECOVER A SINGLE FILE! I asked for a refund and was told they do not provide refunds! They 'claim' I had ample opportunity to try the free version before buying. I AM VERY ANGRY! DO NOT BE DRAWN IN BY THIS CROOKED COMPANY!
  • I purchased the Pro version of Disk Drill after viewing a list of my deleted files with the Free version. I was optimistic my files could be recovered.

Cons

  • - You can recover only 500MB of files for free, to recover more you need to upgrade to Pro version
  • They offer a free trial, but they say it recovers a limited number of files. They therefore trick you into buying the Pro version, promising stellar results and lifetime upgrades.

  • What Disk Drill fails to inform you BEFORE purchasing is deleted files on an SSD drive are “probably not” recoverable. This means Disk Drill is completely worthless for any modern computer system built within the last 5 years. You only learn this fact AFTER purchase. Contacting technical support for help is a waste of time. They will ask you to provide some technical information about your computer and that's when you find out Disk Drill is incapable of recovering deleted files from an SSD drive.
