Overview

This release marks yet another huge UX leap. As promised, it adds two major new ways to understand disk usage: a treemap view and scan comparison. It also brings Radix to more people with full German, Spanish, French, and Simplified Chinese localizations, alongside huge scanner performance and reliability improvements. This release spans 110 commits; see the full commit history between v1.4.1 and v1.5.0 for a detailed development log.

Thanks for the continued support! I’m always open to feedback, bug reports, and feature requests, so please keep sharing what would make Radix more useful for you.

Download Radix v1.5.0 for macOS 14.0+ (universal binary for Intel and Apple silicon systems). If you already have Radix installed, use Radix > Check for Updates… to update in the app. Alternatively, install via Homebrew:

brew install --cask radix

Highlights

  • Added a treemap disk map (#19). Treemap tiles make it easy to compare files and folders by area, with polished labels, hover details, selection feedback, and fast interaction even on large scans. Thank you to u/alexandrehk and u/tpo88 on Reddit for requesting this!
  • Added scan comparison (#17). Compare two saved .radixscan snapshots to see storage changes, including the largest increases and decreases, grouped changes, and aggregate net direction. This makes exported snapshots much more useful. Thanks u/weathergraph on Reddit!
  • Added complete German, Spanish, French, and Simplified Chinese localizations (#20). This closes #1. Thanks @rainlycoris for the request!
  • Made scanning substantially faster and more scalable, with noticeably shorter scan times!
  • Added incremental rescanning, so Radix can refresh changed folders without repeating the entire scan.

Fixes

  • Improved reliability across scanning, saved scans, search, comparisons, visualizations, and disk-space reporting.
  • Improved comparison and disk-map responsiveness by moving more expensive work off the main thread and cancelling obsolete work.
  • Added a final identity check before moving files to Trash, protecting against files changing after selection.
  • Improved workspace accessibility and made modal file-picker flows more reliable, fixing a bug where multiple sheets and dialogs could overlap or conflict.
  • Fixed inaccurate progress reporting when scanning apps and other bundled folders.
  • Improved the accuracy of disk-capacity and file-size calculations.
