What DiskScope is

DiskScope is a free, open-source desktop app for analyzing disk usage, finding files, and uninstalling applications. It scans files, folders, and apps in parallel, then shows results in a sortable table, a tree explorer, and a zoomable treemap. Views include application sizes and a breakdown by file type. Search uses fuzzy matching and filters for type, extension, size, and modified date, and is designed to remain smooth beyond 100,000 rows. DiskScope reports actual on-disk usage, including for sparse and compressed files. Deleting items sends them to the Recycle Bin; emptying it permanently clears its contents after confirmation. On Windows, the Applications tab shows installed programs and can launch a program’s native uninstaller after displaying the command and requesting confirmation. Disk analysis and search are available on Windows, Linux, and macOS; uninstalling applications and emptying the Recycle Bin are Windows-only. Downloads are available for Windows 10/11 x64, macOS 12 or later, and Linux x64. The macOS and Linux builds are marked experimental and not tested yet. DiskScope runs locally, sends no telemetry, and makes only an update-check network request. It checks for signed releases and can install updates automatically.

Who it suits

DiskScope suits people who want to inspect storage use, locate files, and review file-type or application sizes on a desktop computer. Windows users can also use its Applications tab to launch native uninstallers; Linux and macOS users have disk analysis and search.
