Disk Space Analyzer
Disk Space Analyzer is a macOS storage visualization utility from Nektony that helps you inspect disk usage, find large files, and manage space.
What is Disk Space Analyzer?
Disk Space Analyzer is a macOS utility published by Nektony LLC for analyzing storage usage on internal, external, network, and some cloud-mounted volumes. It presents scanned folders in an interactive visual map and outline view so you can quickly see which files and directories consume the most space. The app is commonly used when a Mac is running low on storage, when users need to locate oversized or old files, or when they want a clearer view than Finder provides. Nektony documents support for scanning many volume types and for actions such as previewing items, revealing them in Finder, and moving, copying, or sending files to Trash from within the app. Because full-disk analysis on macOS may require Full Disk Access, users may encounter system permission prompts during setup. It is a legitimate commercial utility rather than a system component, and users usually install it intentionally from Nektony or as part of the company’s broader cleanup tool lineup.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This appears to be a legitimate disk analysis app from Nektony LLC, not a known macOS system file. It can request Full Disk Access so it can inspect more of your storage, which is expected for this type of utility but still gives it broad visibility into file locations and metadata. Review permissions and only use file-deletion features carefully, because removing the wrong items could cause data loss.
Recommendation: Keep it if you actively use it to inspect storage or manage large files. If you do not use disk analysis utilities, it is generally optional and can be removed like other third-party apps after confirming you no longer need its scan data, settings, or convenience features.
