Dust is a Rust-based command-line tool that provides an intuitive alternative to the classic 'du' utility for analyzing disk usage. It displays the largest subdirectories and files with visual bar charts, smartly recursing the tree without needing extra flags.
Use cases
- find what is taking up disk space
- see which folders use the most storage
- visualize directory sizes in the terminal
- identify large files to delete and free space
- show top biggest subdirectories without sort or head
- analyze disk usage of a project folder
When to choose
- you want a fast, human-friendly du replacement with colored bar visualization
- you need a quick terminal overview of disk usage across Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you prefer a single static binary with no flags required for common usage
When to avoid
- you need scriptable, machine-readable disk usage output
- you require a full GUI disk space analyzer with interactive cleanup features
- you need du's exact POSIX behavior or flags for compatibility
