CleverFiles
CleverFiles develops Disk Drill, one of the more widely recognized consumer recovery apps — built around an approachable interface rather than the technician-oriented tools elsewhere in this directory.
Disk Drill
ConsumerDeleted-file recovery for Mac and Windows with a guided, non-technical workflow: scan, preview, recover. A free tier recovers a limited amount of data, which is enough to confirm whether a scan actually finds your files before paying for the full version.
It's a reasonable first attempt for a straightforward accidental-deletion case on a single drive. Current versions add automatic RAID 0/1/5/6/10/1E, JBOD and Windows Storage Spaces reconstruction, but that support is more automated than manually configurable — for physically failing drives, or anything else covered under this site's "professional help recommended" cases, it still isn't the right tool.
