DiskTree / Privacy

Your files. Your Mac.

DiskTree keeps its storage index on your Mac. The app has no account system, telemetry, built-in LLM calls or network service. This page describes the current application, not other services you may choose to use with it.

What the app stores

Scans record local filesystem metadata such as names, paths, sizes, dates, volume information and access errors in a local SQLite index. Preferences include your chosen locations, pinned branches, schedules and appearance. Imported background images are copied locally for use by the app.

File contents and cleanup

Ordinary scans inspect metadata rather than reading file contents. If you explicitly run exact-content duplicate detection, DiskTree reads candidate file contents to hash and verify them. Cleanup requires your review and approval before files are sent to Trash.

Sharing with assistants

The command-line tool and copied summaries expose information from your saved index. DiskTree does not send that data to an AI service. If you pass a report or CLI output to another app or assistant, that service’s policies apply. Names and paths can be sensitive even when file contents are absent.

Your choices

You choose scan scope, exclusions and whether to enable scheduled scans. macOS permissions still apply. Local data is stored in DiskTree’s Application Support directory; removing the app alone does not necessarily remove that data. Contact us if you need help identifying saved application data.

This website

The interactive tree uses fictional sample data. It does not scan your Mac or request filesystem access. This product page adds no analytics or advertising scripts. Following a contact or external link takes you to that destination’s own service.

Questions

Contact Zach about DiskTree. Avoid sending your full storage index or unredacted screenshots unless you deliberately want to share that information.
