About the project

Console-based disk usage analyzer written in Go, optimized for SSDs via parallel processing. Shows which files and directories take up the most space.

Useful for
  • Find the largest files and directories on disk via the interactive interface
  • Export a disk usage report to JSON for later analysis
  • Exclude system directories like /proc and /sys when scanning the root

1.3 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 6, 2026, 13:38 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0612July 9, 2026October 6, 2026

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 11:46–13:32: 6070 → 6070 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • GitHub Trending Go today: #14, +9 stars.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
