diskonaut
How does it work?
Given a path on your hard-drive (which could also be the root path, eg. /). diskonaut scans it and maps it to memory so that you could explore its contents (even while still scanning!).
Once completed, you can navigate through subfolders, getting a visual treemap representation of what's taking up your disk space. You can even delete files or folders and diskonaut will track how much space you've freed up in this session.
Installation
Download a prebuilt binary
If you're using linux, you can check out the "releases" of this repository to download the latest prebuilt binary.

cargo install diskonaut
Packaging status
Fedora/CentOS
Available in COPR:
sudo dnf copr enable atim/diskonaut -y

Supported platforms
Right now diskonaut supports linux and macos. If you're on a different operating system and would like to help port it, that would be amazing!
Usage
Either start diskonaut in the folder you want to scan, or provide it with the folder you'd like to scan as an argument:
$ diskonaut /home/aram
