Windirstat is similar and my go-to for this on PC. Is there a similar Mac/Linux app?

  And the fact that you can run the indexing and visualization in separate passes is extremely useful, especially for E.g. large network file systems that are slow to index.

  I like, I've been working on a faster parallel scanner written in go for the really large filesystems, in my env it's around 10x faster. In any case I find the scan -> database which the client can view quickly very useful. Also note that there's text based, graphical, and web interfaces to view the database.

Strangely I haven't found yet a tool like spacemonger or spacesniffer for Linux. None have that square layout so ncdu it is. Edit: I am trying something new here. Usually when I have beeninging complain or ask for help regarding a computer problem for a long time the solution appears in the minute in the comments or in a Google search. Fingers crossed.

  QDirstat and K4Dirstat were the ones to use as of a few years ago; I don't know if there's a newer option since then.
