DiskSpectra
See your storage in color. Reclaim gigabytes in seconds.

If your Mac has an Apple M-series chip (M1, M2, M3, or M4, introduced late 2020 or later), download the Apple Silicon version for maximum speed and Metal hardware acceleration. For Macs with Intel processors, download the Intel version. If you are unsure, our Universal installer runs natively on both architectures.

DiskSpectra reflects the app's flagship dual visualizers—concentric multi-tier Sunburst Color Rings and space-filling Squarified Treemaps that illuminate your disk's full storage spectrum across vivid colors and directories. Formerly known as XrayMac, the app is crafted by the same developer team at xraymac.com.

Unlike standard disk cleaners that query high-level macOS frameworks (which trigger CloudKit, Google Drive, and OneDrive sync daemons to freeze waiting for cloud timeouts), DiskSpectra uses direct low-level Darwin POSIX lstat system calls. It reads local APFS inode metadata in nanoseconds without ever triggering cloud downloads or file re-hydration.

DiskSpectra uses a dual-engine approach: cryptographic byte-for-byte SHA-256 hashing for identical files and downloads, plus Apple Vision AI neural perceptual hashing to surface similar photo shots, burst photos, and matching 4K video clips directly inside your Apple Photos library.

DiskSpectra enforces a strict Trash-first safety architecture. Every file moved to Trash is recorded in a local Put Back Safety Ledger. You can restore any cleaned file back to its exact original location with a single click, keeping macOS Finder metadata and origin timestamps intact.

Yes! DiskSpectra features Full Disk Access integration with persistent security-scoped bookmarks. Custom folders, external SSDs, USB drives, Google Drive, iCloud Drive, and OneDrive stay remembered and accessible across app relaunches.

100% yes. DiskSpectra operates completely locally on your Mac. It makes zero network calls, requires no accounts, and transmits zero telemetry or analytics. All disk analysis and byte-by-byte SHA-256 duplicate hashing are executed in-memory on your device.

CleanMyMac charges a recurring $39.95/year subscription and installs heavy background daemons that run 24/7, consuming up to 300MB of RAM. DaisyDisk offers visual mapping but lacks developer cache cleaning, duplicate detection, and deep app uninstallation. DiskSpectra combines dual visualizers (Color Rings & Treemaps), Apple Vision AI + SHA-256 duplicate hunting, developer bloat purging (Xcode, node_modules, Docker, Homebrew), Put Back safety ledger, and app leftover removal for a single one-time $9.99 lifetime payment with zero background daemons.

Yes! Your $9.99 Lifetime Pro license covers all your personal Macs (MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, or iMac). Simply enter your license key on each machine to unlock the full Power Suite.

The Free Essentials version is free forever and includes complete Dual Visualizers (Color Rings & Treemaps), sub-second folder inspection, large file discovery, and live CPU/RAM/APFS hardware telemetry. Lifetime Pro ($9.99) unlocks 1-click Smart Clean, SHA-256 + Apple Vision AI Duplicate Hunter, Developer & System Junk Cleaner (Xcode DerivedData, node_modules, Docker, user caches), Deep App Uninstaller with leftover eradication, Put Back safety ledger, and all 6 handcrafted custom themes.

Simply download the DMG, open it, and drag DiskSpectra.app into your Applications folder. Because DiskSpectra is independently distributed outside the Mac App Store, macOS Gatekeeper may show a standard verification prompt on the first launch: simply right-click (or Control-click) DiskSpectra.app and click Open. Alternatively, you can install instantly in 1 second via Terminal: curl -fsSL https://xraymac.com/install.sh | bash.
