What Durs is
Durs is a free Rust disk usage analyzer for Windows, macOS, Linux, and self-hosted environments. It scans files and folders and identifies directories using the most filesystem space. In the terminal, colored bars show disk usage and folder hierarchy, while gray shades indicate nested levels. Durs displays large files or folders that fit on screen and searches deeper through the structure. Filtering can use file names, regular expressions, exclusions, or a minimum size, and results can be grouped by file type. Directory data can be printed as JSON, including output that can be piped to jq. If a folder cannot be accessed, Durs shows a permissions message and continues scanning. A screen-reader option removes bars and symbols and adds a depth-level column. Installation is documented through cargo install durs or by building a cloned repository. Configuration can be stored in ~/.config/durs/config.toml or ~/.durs.toml. The project uses the MIT License and invites contributions through forks, feature branches, and pull requests.
