In their own words
DiskScope
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, showing results in a sortable table, tree explorer, and zoomable treemap. Views include application sizes and file-type breakdowns. Fuzzy search filters by type, extension, size, and modified date and is designed to remain smooth beyond 100,000 rows. DiskScope reports actual on-disk usage, including sparse and compressed files. Deleted items move to the Recycle Bin; emptying it permanently clears contents after confirmation. On Windows, the Applications tab shows an installed program’s command before launching its native uninstaller. Disk analysis and search work on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Downloads list Windows 10/11 x64, macOS 12 or later, and Linux x64 builds. The macOS and Linux builds are marked experimental and not tested yet. The app runs locally with no telemetry, according to its maker, and checks for signed updates.
