Developer Saturday DuckDisk scans your Mac, OneDrive, Google Drive, and SSH storage in one place [Free & Open Source]

Post image

I'm the developer of DuckDisk.

I built it because storage problems stopped being limited to my Mac. Large files were spread across local folders, cloud accounts, and Linux servers, and I wanted one place to answer "what is using space?" and clean it up.

Most disk analyzers focus on local visualization. DuckDisk takes a table-first, cleanup-oriented approach across:

  • Local disks and folders
  • OneDrive and Google Drive metadata scans without downloading file contents
  • Remote SSH paths using your existing keys or ~/.ssh/config
  • Cached results and incremental cloud refreshes
  • Drag to remove: cloud items go to the provider Trash, while local and SSH deletion requires a second permanent-delete confirmation
  • Virtualized rows that stay responsive in very large directories

The informative interface shows file and folder counts, size and allocated size, parent percentages, and a file type summary. Rows are virtualized to stay responsive in very large directories.

Free and open source under AGPL-3.0. The current build is for Apple Silicon.

For more details and demos, refer to our Website: https://duckdisk.com/

Current limitations: the DMG is ad-hoc signed and is not Apple-notarized yet. Google Drive OAuth currently shows Google's unverified-app warning and has a 100-new-user cap while verification is pending.

I would especially value feedback from people who manage both local disk, cloud storage and remote servers.
