Features

Browse and navigate

Instantly see what's taking up space. Directories are sized in the background while you browse — entries re-sort as sizes come in.

Select and delete safely

Select files with s, range-select with S, then d to move to trash. Easy to undo.

Permanent delete

Switch to permanent mode with tab when you're sure. Confirmation dialog keeps you safe.

Find the largest files

shift+tab switches to the Largest tab — a deep scan across all subdirectories to surface the biggest files.

Filter by name

Press f and type to instantly filter entries. Great for finding files by extension.
