Privacy

Updated 11 November 2026

Diskshaper scans files on your computer and never sends them anywhere. Its only network request is a once-a-day check for a new version, which you can turn off. This website has no analytics and no cookies.

What the app reads

File names, sizes and dates in your user folders, app caches and game libraries, and the game lists Steam, Epic, Heroic and CrossOver keep. To find duplicates it reads files to compare their contents. All of this stays in memory on your computer and is gone when you close the app.

What the app changes

Nothing, until you press the clean button. Then it moves the items you ticked to the Trash or Recycle Bin using your system’s own move-to-Trash function.

Network

Once a day, Diskshaper asks GitHub for the number of the latest version. That is its only network request: nothing about you, your computer or your files is sent, and you can turn it off on the start screen. There are no analytics or crash reports. Buttons like “Uninstall in Steam” open your launcher on your computer.
