Full Disk Access must be granted manually for Mail, Messages, and other protected folders.

in plain english

BloomDisk is a free tool for macOS that shows you where your storage space has gone. It scans your Mac and displays the results as a sunburst chart, a treemap, and a plain list, so you can see which folders are taking up the most room and click through to drill down into them. Beyond just showing space usage, BloomDisk includes cleanup helpers for common developer clutter, such as Xcode build files, npm and pip caches, and Homebrew caches. It also has a storage map that separates system files, apps, user files, and caches, a view for finding the largest files on disk, and a duplicate finder for identical large files. Extra tools include an activity monitor, an app uninstaller, and access to Time Machine snapshots. The app runs entirely on your own Mac. There is no cloud service and no account needed, and it opens as a local web page at a localhost address in your browser. To use it, you clone the project, then run a couple of commands to install and start it, or double click a launch script. It needs Node.js version 18 or newer, and there is no build step required. For scanning certain protected areas, like Mail or Messages data, you need to grant Full Disk Access to your terminal application in macOS system settings. The project states that protected system paths cannot be deleted through the app, and it encourages reviewing what you are about to remove before doing a permanent delete. It works on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, including the M1 through M4 chips, and since everything runs locally there is no telemetry sent anywhere. The project is released under the MIT license and is not affiliated with any commercial disk analyzer tool. Documentation covering installation, every feature, and how to contribute is included in the repository.
