DiskPilot 0.5.1 is the first release signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without a security warning. Results also arrive much sooner, the app is smaller, and the optional assistant works with OpenAI and OpenRouter as well as Anthropic.

Download

DiskPilot.dmg. One universal app for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, macOS 11 or later.

To update, quit DiskPilot, then drag the new version into Applications and replace the old one. Your history, settings and saved results are kept.

What's changed

Opens without a warning

  • DiskPilot is now signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. macOS opens it like any other downloaded app, with no trip to Privacy & Security.

Results sooner

  • macOS checks every folder DiskPilot opens inside other apps' private storage (~/Library/Containers), one at a time, and on many Macs that is most of the scan. DiskPilot now measures those folders last and shows everything else as soon as it is done. On our test Mac, with about 800,000 files in the home folder, results appear after about 8 seconds instead of about 35, and a progress bar shows the remaining app folders while their totals are added.
  • Cleanup plans made from these early results stay valid: every item is checked again before anything is moved.

Smaller app

  • The app is built for size, which makes the program itself about 21% smaller with the same scan speed.

Assistant

  • Choose Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter in Settings, with your own key for each, kept in the macOS Keychain. Each key is sent only to its own provider over HTTPS. OpenAI and OpenRouter list their models live, showing only models that can use DiskPilot's read-only tools.
  • The assistant is still off until you turn it on, and it still cannot delete, move or run anything.

Recognises more

  • iPhone and iPad backups appear as one item per device, always marked for review.
  • Flutter, Unity, Unreal, Podman, Minikube and Windsurf storage is now recognised, and Windsurf joins the editor analyzers.
