DaisyDisk
See what fills your disk as a map and clear it out
The verdict
The free trial already scans your whole drive and draws it as a clickable ring map, so you can find what is eating your space before you pay anything. Deleting from inside the app needs the $9.99 license, which covers up to 5 personal Macs, protects system files and breaks down the vague System Data number in macOS. GrandPerspective draws a similar map for free, but DaisyDisk's rings are much easier to drill into.
Get it if
You keep seeing the disk almost full warning and can't tell what is eating the space.
Skip it if
You have plenty of free space, or you're fine reading GrandPerspective's free block map.
