I really can't stand the "there's an app that does the same thing for free" mentality any more... I'm a (web)developer myself and I know that even "fun" projects cost a lot of time. If there's a good app out there I just buy it... Btw great job you did on DaisyDisk :) I’ve tried all the other apps and finally bought DaisyDisk.

Thanks for your willingness to help us. Please contact me via e-mail support@daisydiskapp.com, and we'll find out what went wrong. Crashes are very rare, so I surely wouldn't miss the chance to trap one. Thanks! Hi Mathias, I’m Oleg, a developer in our team. Thanks for your willingness to help us.

Just tried the demo but it crashed when i pointed it to my home-folder. I use one or two of the free alternatives which works fine for me but i will be happy to help you debug the problem i have, if you point me in the right direction. /m Hi Taras!

I'm Taras, one of DaisyDisk Team members. As some of you have already noticed, there're plenty of applications which try to solve problems of wasted disk space. Some of them are free, other cost money. DaisyDisk is successfully competing both and here's why… First of all, user experience is our highest priority and we've spend literally months on improving and polishing it. Just a basic example: while "sunburst" maps of DaisyDisk and Filelight look similar at first glance side by side comparison makes the difference obvious: http://twitpic.com/af755. And that's only static. Go to http://www.DaisyDiskapp.com and see the demo movies. It's not just eye candy, DaisyDisk is also fun and easy to use. DaisyDisk users take advantage of our support team. We're fast and responsive. No RTFMs, robo speeks or a need to register on freaky forums. You send an e-mail (of fill the feedback form on our site or just within the app), you get a reply. DaisyDisk is also faster (up to 50% in our tests) than many competing products. You can even try to scan Time Machine volumes and DaisyDisk will be handle it without crashing or slowing down to being totally useless. We encourage you to give the application a try and see how it performs against competition. See it yourself. And yes, feel free to ask any questions (spoiler: I don't know who killed Laura Palmer) here or by e-mail. Hi, guys.
