  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • edit-filenames

    Renames or moves files using a text editor.

  • edit-filenames for systems with Python

  • disk-usage

    Mirror of the disk-usage package from GNU ELPA, current as of 2024-04-21

  • That's kind of slow to reuse and cumbersome, I'd recommend ncdu or Emacs' disk-usage (it's significantly faster than dired-du and doesn't require ls-lisp emulation hacks to sort by size for directories too).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dua-cli

    View disk space usage and delete unwanted data, fast.

  • Best I've found are dua and f2.

  • f2

    F2 is a cross-platform command-line tool for batch renaming files and directories quickly and safely. Written in Go!

  • Best I've found are dua and f2.

  • duf

    Disk Usage/Free Utility - a better 'df' alternative

  • fsearch

    A fast file search utility for Unix-like systems based on GTK3

  • QDirStat

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

  • Qdirstat is awesome. Still well maintained by the original author of Kdirstat (which inspired the very popular Windows clone, Windirstat). All Free and Open Source!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Video-Hub-App

    Official repository for Video Hub App

  • This is a bit of a tangent perhaps, but for video organization you could try Video Hub App - software I wrote: https://videohubapp.com/ - it also has functionality to find duplicate videos.
