About:
ncdu is a fast, disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It scans directories and presents a sortable, navigable tree of file and folder sizes, helping you quickly identify what is consuming your disk space. It is designed for efficiency and works well over SSH connections.
Key Features:
  • Interactive ncurses-based user interface
  • Fast scanning and instant navigation
  • Sort by size, item count, or name
  • Asynchronous I/O support for scanning
  • Minimal dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Identifying large files and directories on a server
  • Cleaning up disk space on headless systems
  • Analyzing remote filesystems over SSH
Alternatives:
  • dua – dua is a modern alternative written in Rust, often faster and with a different UI paradigm.
  • disk usage analyzer (GUI) – GUI tools like Baobab offer visual graphs but are not suitable for headless or remote systems.
