Pruneapple

A beautiful, open-source, and privacy-first disk space sunburst analyzer built natively for macOS.

Getting a "Developer cannot be verified" warning?

Because Pruneapple is distributed outside the Mac App Store, macOS blocks it on first launch.

How to Open: Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down to the Security section, and click Open Anyway.

This manual authorization is only required once on the very first launch.

Why Pruneapple?

Visualizing disk usage beautifully, natively, and privately.

Visual Sunburst Map

Visual Sunburst Map

Scan your folders and view nested directories as concentric rings. Hover to see sizes, and click to reveal items straight in Finder.

Liquid Glass UI

Liquid Glass UI

Natively designed for macOS with modern translucent backgrounds, fluid window sizing, and responsive hover transitions.

AI Smart Pruning

AI Smart Pruning

Employs local, on-device Apple Intelligence heuristics to automatically analyze and suggest large candidate files for pruning without compromising your privacy.

Private & Zero-Delete

Private & Zero-Delete

Runs entirely offline with zero tracking or telemetry. It is read-only and never deletes files itself. Deletions are handled safely by you in macOS Finder.
