RaDisk
What RaDisk is
RaDisk is a free terminal disk-usage analyzer for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It scans files and folders and presents storage use through radial ASCII, indented tree, and largest-files views. A parallel scanner streams progress to the interface while scanning. Keyboard and mouse navigation are supported, and key bindings can be remapped in the TOML configuration. Scan settings include excluded path globs, a configurable maximum depth, and an option to follow symbolic links. RaDisk can export and import portable .radisk snapshots, then compare snapshots with a diff command. The interface can show package ownership for pacman/AUR, dpkg, rpm, apk, npm, pip, uv, cargo, flatpak, and snap packages. Selected files and directories can be deleted, with trash support when trash-put or gio trash is installed. Installation is available through the Arch Linux AUR, Cargo, or a shell installer for macOS and Linux. Building from source requires stable Rust 1.85 or newer. The project uses the GPL-3.0-or-later license.
Who it suits
RaDisk suits users who prefer terminal tools for examining filesystem usage and comparing scans. It is useful for people who want configurable filtering, package ownership details, and optional trash-based deletion.
What it does well
- Radial, tree, and largest-files views
- Progress appears during parallel scanning
- Portable snapshots and diff comparisons
- Package ownership across many package systems
- Keyboard and mouse controls are remappable
What to know first
- Latest listed release is initial v0.1.0
- Building from source requires Rust 1.85 or newer
- Linux testing is primarily on Arch Linux
- Deletion trash support needs external utilities
Verdict
