Disk Diet Helper is a privileged launchDaemon component for Disk Diet, Tunabelly Software's Mac disk-cleaning utility. Disk Diet Helper runs automatically to remove unused app translations and system logs on behalf of Disk Diet. It is sandboxed with no network access, uses the hardened runtime, and is patched against known security vulnerabilities. The helper tool is required only for the Mac App Store version of Disk Diet; the direct website version of Disk Diet includes the helper tool built-in. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDisk Diet Helper is not a standalone app — it is a privileged helper component managed entirely by the parent Disk Diet application. To ensure both Disk Diet and its helper tool are running natively on Apple Silicon, you need to update the main Disk Diet app itself. Disk Diet ships as a Universal Binary (native on Apple Silicon, Intel-compatible on older Macs) and is available directly from Tunabelly Software. Visit tunabellysoftware.com/disk_diet, download the latest version, and install it. If you obtained Disk Diet originally from the Mac App Store, open the App Store and update it from there instead — the store will serve the Universal Binary automatically. Once Disk Diet is updated, restart the app and it will reinitialize Disk Diet Helper automatically on startup. There is no separate installer or update process for the helper tool itself.
