Disk Drill (CleverFiles)
Data recovery software for macOS and Windows that scans storage devices to find and undele
Disk Drill is a do-it-yourself data recovery application for macOS and Windows that scans internal and external drives, memory cards, iPhones, iPads, Android devices, RAID arrays, virtual hard drives and disk images to locate and restore deleted, lost or damaged files. It can read devices that are failing, unrecognized, unreadable or missing a partition, and it parses Time Machine backup disks and local snapshots. The free edition lets users preview recoverable files and includes extra disk tools such as S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, duplicate finder, disk cleanup, recovery drive creation, data protection and byte-to-byte backups.
The app combines multiple scanning algorithms and binary recovery methods to reconstruct more than 400 file types, with recovery methods varying by file system. It supports iOS, iPadOS and Android recovery, including call history, contacts and messages, and offers RAID recovery, HEX analysis, recovery-chance prediction and advanced filters. Disk Drill runs on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs (M1–M5) and on Windows, with a free edition and a PRO upgrade; the Windows free edition allows recovery within a 100 MB limit, while the Mac free edition covers protected-file recovery.
