Klarity Disk – A $6.99 DaisyDisk Alternative for Mac

Treemap plus icicle views and native SwiftUI builds give Klarity snappy local scans and a modern UI, with handy touches like Move to Trash and a menu-bar RAM monitor. It’s an attractive, lower-cost alternative to DaisyDisk with privacy (no telemetry) baked in — but it’s more refinement than innovation in an already crowded niche.
