Windirstat is similar and my go-to for this on PC. Is there a similar Mac/Linux app?

#33It still works blazing fast on hard drives that are 1000 times the size than the drives that existed when it was programmed, and nearly as well as 20+ years ago (there are some occasional crashes when removing some system protected files, but easy to just open it up and scan again). I never made the jump to Spacemonger 2 because in the early years that I started using it, I was in high school without a credit card.
I emailed the author in December 2020 to see if there was a way to enable HiDPI on it, since that's the only real flaw of it right now. He responded 3 months later with a very personal message that I really appreciated.

The Stardock version 3.0 Build 1711 is from 2018, so that is a while since the last update and there's still no HiDPI. There's also a bug where it interprets 0-byte placeholder files as 8GB giants. But 2018 seems to be a newer update than what people here are suggesting.
But v3 isn't free, and I've not tried the old freeware / open source version, so I don't know if newer actually means "better".

#40They have stopped developing it long time ago. Current alternative is SpaceSniffer http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/
That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I still use it and it does exactly what I want it to do - help me figure out what’s using up all of the space on my disk. It used to usually be media files. These days it’s usually Windows.
