  • QDirStat

    QDirStat - Qt-based directory statistics (KDirStat without any KDE - from the original KDirStat author)

    Brewing a future version

  • They are getting close to releasing windirstat-next [0] you can learn more about it in the subreddit. [1]

    >WinDirStat fans,

    >As a new pet project, I recently started some substantial revisions to WinDirStat in my GitHub branch and will work with current maintainer (Oliver Schneider) to eventually publish a new release hopefully in the next few months. The current changes on deck speed up performance drastically (seconds compared to minutes in some cases). It uses less memory compared to recent alternatives (WizTree), is faster as scanning network paths, and obviously isn't pushy about donating (although I certainly would not discourage folks from donating to their favorite opensource projects).

    >Oliver recently opened up the GitHub Issues trackers, and I would love to hear suggestions or known bugs for the existing version: Issues · windirstat/windirstat (github.com)

    >For the nerds interested in the changes I have queued up, you can visit the GitHub page: Commits · windirstat/windirstat (github.com)

  • windirstat

    WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for various versions of Microsoft Windows.

  • altWinDirStat

    An unofficial modification of WinDirStat

  • WizTree is famously almost 50x faster than WinDirStat (on normal Windows NTFS drives) by reading the Master File Table (MFT) instead of walking the tree to measure each file.

    WizTree isn't open-source like WinDirStat but "free as in beer" with optional donations.

    There's also a fork of WinDirStat patched to read the MFT but I don't know anyone who's tried it: https://github.com/ariccio/altWinDirStat

  • dust

    A more intuitive version of du in rust
