  This is the kind of tool that should be baked into the kernel. It's never there when you need it, and when you do need it, it is probably already a full disk and you maybe can't just download it.

  Love this! A few similar GUI apps have been mentioned for Windows. For Mac, I've been using GrandPerspective for probably 15 years. This is one of my favorite class of programs in terms of how uniquely useful they are.A pity we can't use something like this (and actually take action on the results) on closed systems like iOS (I've just had to factory reset my iphone to rein in a 37GB "system data" mess... even on the newly restored phone that consumes 15GB but at least that's better).

  This is super cool, I've always used ncdu for this kinda thing but I like this a lot better. Thanks for sharing!

  Broot (br -w) can also do this (not with the big rectangles)

  Nice! The file-type extension partitioning feature is a really smart addition to handle the limitations of block characters.

  This looks fantastic, reminds me a lot of SpaceSniffer. The focus view or allowing for navigation through chunks is a nice essential inclusion. One desire might be quick actions. Doing size of squares based on the # of packages a dependency installation causes: Helps I guess users hellbent on having their install minimal figure out what they can afford to remove for as few packages on their system as reasonably possible.

  There is also dua-cli or mcdu, if someone prefers a ncdu-style disk usage visualizer.

  I had just been looking for a windirstat like tool for linux the other day.What I really also want is a way to do an offline index that this reads ... I ended up using duc. Maybe I will fork and add it!thanks for sharing!

  Surprised no one mentioned WizTree which is a lot faster than WinDirStat
• sghiassy
  Really cool.If possible, being able to “brew install” on a Mac would be killer
• SamPentz
  I love this
• robertclaus
  Ooh, this is nice. I loved windirstat back in the day.

  Love it! If this works well I'm going to add it to my basic linux tools toolkit next to htop and the like.
