Radix is a free, open-source disk space analyzer for Mac users who want to understand how files and volumes use storage. It scans folders or volumes and presents the results through interactive sunburst and treemap visualizations. Search and inspection tools help users examine individual files, while local processing and saved results keep the workflow account-free. Radix supports macOS 14 or later, making it a focused option for privacy-conscious Mac storage review.

Its strongest feature set is the combination of visual analysis and ongoing comparison. Users can compare scans over time to see how storage changes, then search and inspect files within the results. Completed scans can be exported and reopened as read-only snapshots, which gives users a way to retain earlier views without rescanning immediately. The Discard Pile adds a review stage for cleanup candidates, so storage decisions remain visible before files are removed.

Radix keeps the pricing simple: the product is free, with no separate paid tiers described. Its open-source model, local processing, and lack of an account requirement suit users who prefer a private, self-contained utility. The trade-off is platform scope: Radix is for macOS 14 or later and does not offer a Windows or cross-platform workflow. It also focuses on visualization, inspection, comparison, and cleanup review rather than AI-assisted analysis. Choose Radix for free visual storage analysis on a Mac; choose another tool if you need support beyond macOS or automated intelligence.
