## What it is
diskonaut is a terminal-based disk space navigator written in Rust. It scans a directory, shows a visual treemap of what consumes space, and lets you delete files while tracking freed space.

## Use cases
- find what is taking up disk space
- visualize disk usage in the terminal
- clean up large files and folders
- explore folder sizes on a server over ssh
- free up space on linux or macos

## When to choose
- you want a fast, visual terminal disk usage explorer
- you need to delete files directly while analyzing space
- you work over ssh or prefer TUI tools over GUI disk analyzers

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical desktop disk analyzer like WinDirStat or DaisyDisk
- you need advanced filtering, export, or scheduled scanning features

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, terminal-ui, data-visualization, file-system
- domain: developer-tools, files
- platform: windows, cli, rust
- tags: disk-usage, treemap, disk-cleanup, tui, rust, command-line, linux, macos
