What AppleTree is
AppleTree is a macOS disk-space analyzer from AppleTree, headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States. It scans selected folders or volumes and presents synchronized results in a sortable outline, file-type breakdown, and interactive treemap. A parallel filesystem traversal streams findings while scanning continues. Selected items can be moved to the system Trash, with confirmation enabled by default. Scans remain on the chosen device, and protected macOS folders may be skipped unless Full Disk Access is granted. The app has no account, analytics, crash reporting, or network connection; results are discarded when the window closes or a new scan starts. AppleTree runs in the macOS App Sandbox, requires macOS 15.0 or later, and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Downloads and automatic updates are directed through the Mac App Store. Its complete source is available under GNU GPL v3.0 for building and use at no cost, with support by email or GitHub Issues.
