Overview

Radix v1.6.0 focuses on performance. Scanning, saved scan imports, comparisons, search, and cleanup updates are now faster and more memory-efficient. This release also adds APFS clone-aware storage accounting, improved cloud-storage scanning, keyboard navigation for disk maps, an Open in Terminal action, and support for comparing scans made with different settings. This release spans 81 commits; see the full commit history between v1.5.1 and v1.6.0 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 v1.6.0 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

  • Made scanning, saved scan imports, comparisons, and search faster and more memory-efficient. On modern devices, whole-drive scans now take under 25 seconds in most cases, while saved scan imports and comparisons can be nearly twice as fast!
  • Made incremental rescans faster by batching directory updates and streamlining how Radix identifies and processes changed files.
  • Added APFS clone-aware storage accounting for more accurate disk-usage totals.
  • Improved cloud-storage scanning by including locally available files and skipping files that haven’t been downloaded and don't take up space. As a result, the “Scan cloud storage folders” setting is no longer needed and has been removed.
  • Added arrow-key navigation to the sunburst and treemap views.
  • Added an “Open in Terminal” context menu action.
  • Allowed comparisons between scans made with different settings, with a warning when coverage differences may affect the results. Previously, Radix blocked these comparisons.

Fixes

  • Improved responsiveness after removing files or moving multiple items to the Trash. This addresses #27.
  • Hardened .radixscan import validation and repaired inconsistent archived directory totals.
  • Fixed duplicate aggregate file counts in some scan results.
  • Fixed incremental rescans so they preserve scan settings and file metadata consistently.
  • Prevented stale scan or disk-map work from replacing newer results.
  • Improved comparison ordering, archive diagnostics, and file-table consistency.
  • Fixed inconsistent file table styling in some cases.
