Is There a DaisyDisk for Windows?
The short answer
No. DaisyDisk is macOS-only and there is no Windows version. Diskaroo shows you where your disk space went on Windows, using a drill-in treemap, and the same purchase also covers your Mac and any Linux machines.
What Diskaroo gives you on Windows
- +A native Windows app, which DaisyDisk does not offer.
- +A squarified treemap with drill-in and breadcrumbs, so you can walk down into the folder that is actually eating space.
- +Byte-exact duplicate detection built into the same scan, using a three-pass match.
- +A collector tray that stages files from multiple folders so you review the whole batch before anything is deleted.
What DaisyDisk genuinely does well
- ·DaisyDisk's sunburst visualization is beautiful and genuinely pleasant to use.
- ·It is cheaper than Diskaroo on the Mac alone, and it handles APFS snapshots and hidden space well.
- ·For a Mac-only user, it is an excellent and well-priced choice.
| On Windows | Diskaroo | DaisyDisk |
|---|---|---|
| Runs on Windows | Yes, native | No, macOS only |
| Visualization | Squarified treemap, drill-in | Sunburst, very polished |
| Duplicate detection | Byte-exact, built in | Not a duplicate finder |
| Covers Mac, Windows and Linux | One purchase | Mac only |
When you should stay put
If every machine you own is a Mac, DaisyDisk is polished, cheaper, and handles APFS better. Diskaroo makes sense when there is a Windows or Linux machine in the house and you would rather not buy and learn a second tool for it.
Common questions
Is DaisyDisk available for Windows?
No. DaisyDisk is a macOS application and there is no Windows build.
What is the closest DaisyDisk equivalent on Windows?
WizTree is the fastest free option on Windows and reads the NTFS master file table directly. Diskaroo is the option that also covers your Mac and Linux machines and adds duplicate detection.
Is Diskaroo's visualization as nice as DaisyDisk's?
DaisyDisk's sunburst is prettier, and we will not pretend otherwise. Diskaroo uses a treemap, which is denser and better for drilling into deep folder trees.
