Radix
Radix is a native macOS disk space analyzer that scans folders and volumes, visualizes storage use, and helps users review files before cleanup.
What is Radix?
Radix is a macOS utility for understanding how storage is used across folders and volumes. It helps users find large files, inspect directory structure, compare storage changes over time, and review cleanup candidates before moving anything to the Trash. The app offers interactive sunburst and treemap views, a sortable file browser, search tools, and read-only saved scan snapshots for later review. It is designed for Mac users who want a clearer view of what is consuming disk space without relying on Terminal commands. Radix stores scans locally on the Mac and does not require an account, which fits personal cleanup, routine storage checks, and before-and-after comparisons after app installs, downloads, or media work.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Radix is a legitimate disk analysis tool for macOS. It may request access to folders that macOS normally protects, and Full Disk Access can be a normal permission for scanning areas such as parts of the Library folder more completely. That access lets the app read file and folder information for storage analysis, so only grant it if you want full-system scans. If you use its cleanup workflow, review selected items carefully before sending anything to the Trash.
Recommendation: Keep Radix if you use it to find large files, monitor storage growth, or plan cleanups on your Mac. If you no longer need disk analysis tools, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though any saved scan snapshots or app settings you want to keep should be backed up first.
