du can be used in more situations. sudo du / --human-readable --threshold=+1024MB --one-file-system

It works with any Gnome environment and lets you scan local or remote directories. You can also view the results as charts or treemaps.

One of the few Linux apps I really miss on Mac. Okay, it has MacPorts, but it is not native.

Baobab is a disk space analyzer for GNOME, but I'm looking for a disk space analyzer for Mac.

Baobab can be installed on Mac using MacPorts or Homebrew. I have just added this note on the app page

Easy to use, even on a mtp device. Was easy to install too via aptitude.
