Description
Diskscape draws your whole disk as one treemap. The biggest folder is the biggest box, so whatever is eating your space is the first thing you see. It scans about 200,000 files a second, lists node_modules, Xcode DerivedData, simulator caches and old large files under Worth a look, and its sizes match Finder, with no double-counted APFS volumes. Native Swift, sandboxed, nothing leaves your Mac. Free to scan; Move to Trash is a subscription after 7 days of use.

Could you build this?
Partial Visualizing disk usage in a treemap is standard, but scanning 200,000 files/sec on macOS requires high-performance native low-level filesystem traversal and deep APFS optimization.
What it would actually take: Requires native C++/Rust or Swift using low-level POSIX or macOS file system APIs (e.g., fts, getattrlistbulk, or direct APFS catalog inspection) combined with multithreaded scanning. The primary challenge is raw I/O throughput to hit 200k files/sec while handling permissions and APFS clone/sparse file subtleties. Requires low-level systems programming skills and filesystem performance tuning.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
