Free, open-source Mac cleaner with no tracking.
From its maker: Tidymint is a free, open-source Mac cleaner with no tracking. It shows what fills your disk, explains each item, and moves only what you pick to the Trash, so the last cleanup can be undone.
SpaceWise safely cleans developer disk clutter like node_modules and Docker caches.
From its maker: SpaceWise safely cleans developer disk clutter: node_modules, Docker caches, Xcode DerivedData, and AI models for macOS and Windows.
Review-before-delete cleaner for leftovers, caches, and disk space
From its maker: Mole helps you review leftovers after uninstalls, clear caches, and see what's using disk space before anything is deleted. The command-line tool is free and open source.
Free native Mac cleaner and uninstaller
From its maker: MacOS Cleaner is a free, native cleaner and uninstaller for macOS 26+, built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI. It scans 55 cleanup categories, including Xcode, Docker and other developer toolchains and local AI model caches, finds app leftovers and duplicates (SHA-256), and includes a disk analyzer.
Each of these is named by its own maker as an alternative to DaisyDisk. That is the maker's claim, so check that it does the part of DaisyDisk you use.
