Neodisk
Neodisk is a disk space visualizer for macOS that scans folders and drives so you can see what is using storage and find large files quickly.
What is Neodisk?
Neodisk is a macOS utility for analyzing disk usage with visual maps of folders and files. It helps users understand where storage space is going by scanning a drive or chosen folder and presenting the results in treemap and sunburst views. The app is designed for people cleaning up crowded disks, reviewing large projects, or exploring how storage is distributed across a Mac. It includes tools for finding large files, browsing file type statistics, searching within a scan, and reopening saved snapshots later. Neodisk is read-only by design, so it focuses on inspection and navigation rather than deleting files itself. Published by Lucas Takayasu, it fits typical Mac cleanup and storage management workflows where users want a clearer picture before making changes in Finder.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Neodisk is intended for storage analysis and is read-only by design, which means it does not delete or modify files from inside the app. It needs access to the folders or volumes you choose to scan, which is normal for a disk usage tool. Scan results can reveal file names, sizes, and folder structure, so use it on shared Macs with the same care you would use when browsing files in Finder. If you no longer use it, removing the app mainly affects your saved scans and settings.
Recommendation: Keep Neodisk if you use it to review disk space, locate large files, or compare storage changes over time. If you do not use disk analysis tools, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though any saved scan history and app preferences may be lost.
