diskonaut

What is diskonaut?

diskonaut is a terminal-based disk space navigator that empowers users to explore and manage their file system efficiently. By scanning and indexing the metadata of a specified path, diskonaut provides a comprehensive visual representation of the disk usage, allowing users to navigate through subfolders and understand the space consumption within their file system. Even while the initial scanning process is ongoing, users can already begin exploring the contents, enabling a seamless and interactive experience. Once the scanning is complete, diskonaut presents a treemap visualization, delivering a clear and intuitive overview of the file hierarchy and storage utilization. Additionally, users can conveniently delete files or folders directly within the application, with diskonaut tracking the corresponding space freed up during the session
