Disk Tracker v0.1.2 — Find the 40 GB you forgot about

What's new in v0.1.2

Developer Caches. A new sidebar entry that measures the caches your dev tools leave behind — Xcode (DerivedData, device support, archives), the Simulator, Homebrew, npm/Yarn/pnpm, pip, Cargo, Gradle and Android — with one bar showing which tool takes the most. The caches in your home folder's hidden folders (npm, Cargo, Gradle, Android) can go straight to the Trash; for the rest, each row shows the tool's own cleanup command, ready to copy. It asks once for access to your home folder.

A new icon for macOS 26. The icon is now a Liquid Glass icon that follows macOS 26's light, dark, clear and tinted styles. macOS 15 gets the same design, flattened.

Fixes.

  • Home now scans your home folder. It used to scan the app's own sandbox folder instead.
  • Move to Trash works on scans reopened from History after a restart.
  • Nothing inside a Library folder can be moved to the Trash any more — apps keep live data there. Those items point you to Show in Finder instead.
  • When macOS won't let the app delete from a folder you didn't choose, the message now says how to fix it: open the folder with Choose Folder….
  • In full screen, the sidebar stays at the left edge instead of drifting toward the middle.
  • The welcome screen no longer draws a second, fake window inside the real one.
  • Scans no longer wait behind low-priority background work.

Privacy and security.

  • Release builds no longer allow a debugger to attach to the app. Earlier builds did.
  • The scan engine is now sandboxed in its own right and runs inside the app's sandbox.
  • A privacy manifest and a privacy policy: nothing leaves your Mac.

Installing

  1. Open DiskTracker-v0.1.2.dmg and drag Disk Tracker to Applications.
  2. Run this once in Terminal:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DiskTracker.app
    
  3. Open it normally.

Step 2 is required because this build is ad-hoc signed rather than
notarized
— Apple notarization needs a paid Developer Program membership.
The command clears the "downloaded from the internet" flag on this app only;
it does not disable Gatekeeper system-wide, and the signature stays valid.

Right-click → Open does not work for ad-hoc signed apps on Apple
Silicon. The xattr command is required.

Requires macOS 15.0 or later.
