dust

Color-coded bars and indentation instantly show directory relationships and relative sizes, eliminating the need for manual sorting or complex du commands, as demonstrated in the demo screenshot.

Automatically drills down to the largest files and subdirectories without requiring flags like -d or -h, providing immediate insights into disk usage hotspots based on terminal height.

Supports filtering by size (-z), regex (-e/-v), filetype (-t), and more, allowing targeted analysis such as finding only large PNG files with a command like dust -e "\.png$".

Includes a screen reader mode (-R) that removes visual elements and adds a depth column, plus JSON output (-j) for scripting, making it adaptable for both human and machine use.
