About OmniDiskSweeper

OmniDiskSweeper shows the files and folders on a drive sorted by size, largest first, so you can see what is taking up space. From the list you can open a file or send it straight to the Trash.

The Omni Group publishes it under its Omni Labs section, alongside older builds for earlier versions of macOS going back to 10.4. It suits Mac users who want a simple list view of disk usage rather than a graphical map.

Strengths

  • Plain list of files sorted by size
  • Trash or open files directly from the list
  • Older builds kept available for legacy macOS versions

Limitations

  • macOS only
  • List view only, no treemap or chart
  • Published as an Omni Labs side project rather than a main product
