What's taking your hard disk space?

The easiest open source app you will ever use to detect huge files. Built with Rust + React (Tauri).

Squirreldisk is an open source alternative to softwares like: WinDirStat, WizTree, TreeSize and DaisyDisk.

Some features:

  • Fast scan and deep directory scanning
  • Disk scanning or pick a directory
  • External disks real-time detection
  • A sunburst chart to quickly visualize the disk usage
  • Drag and drop: collect all items to be deleted
  • Right click on a folder/file to open the file explorer
  • Cross-Platform MacOS, Windows, Linux
  • Auto-updater: get notified when there is a new update (only on app launch - no notification spamming thanks)

Installation

Please note that the current version is not 100% stable yet, and you may encounter bugs.

Windows

  1. Download the installer from the release page
  2. The binary is not signed so Windows could open a popup window warning you that the file is unsecure, just click on "More Information" > "Run Anyway"

Why the binary isn't Codesigned and marked as unsafe?

Ubuntu

  1. Download the .deb package from the release page
  2. Install

MacOS

  1. Download the .dmg from the release page
  2. Install the app from the .dmg
  3. First time you open the App: Right click > Open once (it won't run, since the binaries are not signed an alert will appear), then do it again Right click > Open to bypass the issue, it won't happen again after the first time.

Disclaimer

This app was a project from 2 years ago built in Electron in 2 days, I decided to port it to Tauri to achieve better performances and to make it Open Source. Yay.

The code is still spaghetti and needs a lot of refactoring.
