duviz is a command-line utility for visualising disk usage through hierarchical ASCII charts. Rather than displaying an ordinary list of directory sizes, it represents the relative storage consumption of files and folders using nested bars in the terminal.
The application supports directory size analysis, file counts and examination of the contents of supported archive formats.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Hierarchical ASCII charts showing the relative storage consumption of files and directories.
- Uses the standard du and ls utilities to collect filesystem information.
- Reports progress during disk usage analysis.
- Adapts the visualisation to the width of the terminal.
- Option to count files and inodes instead of measuring storage consumption.
- Visualise the contents of ZIP and TAR archives.
- Display compressed or uncompressed sizes for ZIP archive contents.
- Optional terminal colours instead of conventional ASCII chart characters.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux and macOS.
