Changelog
Site update — August 14, 2026 · Headlines in one color
Website only; no change to the app.
- The headline no longer fades from one color into another across the letters. A gradient poured through text is the house style of every generated landing page on the web, and it was on the hero here, on the small uppercase label above each section, and on the license label in the purchase panel. The words are one solid color now — the accent this page already used everywhere else — so the headline finally matches the page under it.
- The figures on the download-stats page were faded the same way and are plain white now. The color belongs to the bars beside them, not to the digits.
- Gradients are kept where they belong — the buttons, the app tile and the rule above the support panel are untouched. It is only text that stopped fading.
- No change to the app.
Site update — August 13, 2026 · Diskr’s own blue, everywhere
- The headline on this page faded out into an indigo that isn’t Diskr’s. It was left over from the color scheme Diskr used before its icon was redrawn. Diskr’s blue is a lighter, skyward one, and the page uses it now.
- The Diskr tile beside the name, in the header and on the hero, now matches the icon in your Dock. It had been a darker, flatter pair of blues that was close enough to look deliberate and never actually matched.
- The preview image shown when a link to this page is shared — in a message, a chat, a post — was drawn on a purple background, with the old indigo still on the first of its labels. Both are Diskr’s blue now.
- No change to the app.
Download update — August 12, 2026 · Opens without an internet check
- The copy of Diskr in the download now opens without needing the internet. macOS checks that an app has been approved by Apple before it runs for the first time. That approval can travel inside the app itself, and in the download it did not — so the first launch had to reach Apple to confirm it. Offline, behind a hotel or campus login page, or when Apple’s service was slow, that check could fail and macOS would report that Diskr “cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.” The approval now travels with the app, so the first launch works with no connection at all.
- Automatic updates were never affected — the copy they install already carried its approval.
- The installer window opens at the right size. It was one title bar too short, so the artwork behind the drag-to-Applications arrow was cut off along the bottom and the window opened already scrolled. It now fits exactly.
- The app itself is unchanged: same version, same signature. Only the download was repackaged, so there is nothing to do if you already have Diskr installed.
Site update — August 12, 2026 · What actually connects to the internet
- A privacy answer on this page was wrong, and is fixed. It said Diskr “never contacts our servers at all” and had “no networking in it” — which stopped being true once Diskr gained the ability to update itself. Conversions, and everything you open, were never sent anywhere and still aren't; the claim about connections was the part that was false.
- Every connection Diskr makes, in full: a check for a new version about once a week, and nothing else. Nothing about your files is in any of them, and the update check sends the app version and nothing more.
- The update instructions were out of date. They described downloading a new copy and dragging it over the old one. Diskr updates itself — it checks about once a week and offers to install the new version in place, refusing any download that isn't signed by us. You can still replace it by hand, and you can turn the automatic check off.
- No change to the app.
Site update — August 12, 2026 · Readable buttons and small print
- The buttons in the header say what they say. The Tip and Download pills were drawing their label at 55% opacity over a colored fill, which measured as low as 1.6:1 against it — well under the 4.5:1 the accessibility guidelines ask for. Their labels are now solid, and the fill behind them is set a shade deeper so the text genuinely clears that bar.
- The Subscribe and Support buttons too. Their labels were colored for one end of a two-color gradient and disappeared into the other end. Both now use a single fill that the label is legible on all the way across.
- The newsletter note, the “More apps” caption and the version line under the download button were all set too faint to read comfortably; each is now above the AA threshold.
- Keyboard shortcut chips are legible against their own background.
- The screenshot viewer no longer makes every visit quietly re-download this page as if it were an image — a wasted request on each load.
- No change to the app.
Site update — August 12, 2026 · The twoplus11 logo, back to its own color
- The twoplus11 wordmark in the top-left corner is the studio’s blue again. It had been recolored to match Diskr’s accent color, which made the same logo look like a different one on every app’s site. It now matches twoplus11.com and the rest of the apps.
- No change to the app.
Site update — August 11, 2026 · Clearer search results
- The description under this site in Google is no longer cut off. It ran past the length Google shows and broke mid-word; it now reads as a complete sentence.
- Sharing a link to the privacy, terms or changelog page now shows a proper preview card instead of a bare URL.
- The sitemap now reports when each page actually changed, so search engines re-check pages that have been updated instead of assuming they are stale.
- No change to the app.
August 11, 2026 · A new look
- Changed: Diskr has a new app icon. Every twoplus11 app moved to one generated palette, so the color in your Dock, on this site and on the download page is now the same color — they had drifted apart.
- Changed: refreshed the site to match, including the tab icon and the link preview image.
Site update — August 9, 2026 · Corrected wording
- Corrected how this site describes Diskr's dependencies and its network use. It previously said Diskr had “no third-party dependencies” and made “no network connections at all” — including in the answer explaining why granting Full Disk Access is safe. Neither was accurate: Diskr bundles Sparkle, the open-source framework that powers the in-app updater, and it checks once a week for a new version.
- Nothing about what you scan is involved in that check, and you can switch it off. The privacy policy has described it in full since August 6 — the rest of the site now matches. No change to the app itself.
1.0.1 — August 9, 2026 · Automatic updates
- New: Diskr updates itself. When a new version is out you get a prompt with the release notes and can install it in place — no more visiting the site and dragging a new copy over the old one. This is the last update you have to install by hand.
- New: refreshed appearance — Diskr now uses the shared twoplus11 palette, so it matches the rest of the family.
- The privacy policy now spells out the update check and exactly what it sends.
1.0.0 — July 23, 2026 · Initial public release
First release. See exactly what's eating your disk — as an interactive sunburst you can drill into.
- Interactive sunburst chart — a recursive radial map up to six rings deep, each slice sized by real on-disk bytes and colored by its top-level branch so colors stay consistent as you drill.
- Scan any folder — Open Folder… (
⌘O), Scan Home Folder (⇧⌘H), or drag a folder onto the window. A background, cancellable scan reports a live item counter and measures on-disk allocated bytes. - Drill-down & breadcrumb — double-click a slice or a sidebar row to recenter the chart on that folder, click the center disk to go back up, and use the breadcrumb to jump anywhere.
- Inspect — hover any slice for a name/size/percent tooltip with spotlight-on-hover focus, plus a sidebar list of the current folder's children sorted by size with proportion bars.
- Right-click actions — Open, Reveal in Finder, Copy Path, and Move to Trash. Deleting moves the item to the Trash after a confirmation — never a hard delete — and every parent size updates live.
- Volume capacity bar — used versus free space on the whole volume, for context at a glance.
- Private by design — 100% local, no account, no analytics. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.
- Native SwiftUI, no third-party dependencies. Light + dark mode, full keyboard support, WCAG 2.1 AA.
- Signed and notarized by Apple — macOS 14+, Apple Silicon & Intel.
- Free for personal use forever, including updates; optional one-time $5-per-device commercial license for commercial use.
