DiskSect

Privacy by design.

DiskSect is built around a simple boundary: your storage analysis stays on your Mac.

What DiskSect accesses

DiskSect reads storage information only from folders or volumes you choose to inspect. This can include selected paths, file metadata, exact byte counts, and the information needed to explain cleanup recommendations.

What stays on your Mac

Storage scans are processed locally. DiskSect does not upload your files, run a cloud scan, or require an account.

Selected scan history and security-scoped bookmarks may remain in DiskSect's local app storage so you can compare scans or return to a location you previously approved.

Tracking and advertising

DiskSect does not include an advertising SDK and does not collect product tracking data by default.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics are opt-in, local-only, and are not intended to include file contents or selected paths.

Permissions

DiskSect uses the macOS App Sandbox and user-selected access. It does not require Full Disk Access or a privileged helper.

Cleanup safety

Eligible confirmed cleanup is Trash-first. Protected, uncertain, and system-managed content is not treated as an automatic cleanup target.

Questions or privacy concerns

Use the DiskSect support page and avoid sending file contents, credentials, or other private data.
