Why people use it
If you do not want to install a random disk usage application just to understand which folders are large, FolderUtils gives you a transparent alternative you can inspect and build yourself.
See which folders are eating your disk space without trusting a mystery installer.
FolderUtils is a desktop folder size analyzer created for people who want a simpler, more transparent alternative to closed-source or opaque third-party disk analysis tools. It scans locally, shows the largest folders first, and keeps the runtime simple.
How it works
Select a folder, run a local scan, and review folder sizes, file counts, skipped entries, and scan errors in a desktop UI.
Privacy stance
No cloud dependency, no account, no telemetry, and no remote folder analysis requirement.
