A tool similar to WinDirStat for Linux. Nice UI and easy to use. Useful for detecting large, useless files that can be deleted.

What a disappointment!

For a package coming from the champions of 'free-as-in-speech', the only versions offered for Windows are those which can access the MS App Store!

Similarly the only versions for Linux are Flatpak and Snap(?).

Thank you, KDE, for being as elitist as Apple :eyeroll:

Maybe it looks interesting on other platforms, but on Windows it is just a bloat: 166 MB of MS App Store download to have an UI that gives much less details than WinDirStat (4 MB of a more friendly, all-in-one executable). With the link provided in another comment you can get a 7z archive of the app: 479 MB extracted on disk (yes, you read it right), with all the necessary libs and whistles. Honestly, I don't understand this thing.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

Fast, easy to use, beautiful. And the visualisation is very easy to understand for the human brain.
