In plain words
Bvckup2 is a disk backup utility that visualizes input/output activity through log-scale banded graphs. It monitors and displays disk performance during backup operations, making it easier to understand data transfer patterns and system activity. The tool is designed for users who want detailed visibility into how their backup process is affecting disk performance, with a focus on clear, visual representation of IO metrics rather than traditional text-based reporting.

It is light, very small and it is really quite fast. Half of the…

Leaves – A text-UI disk usage treemap visualizerJul 2026 · github.com · ▲93GUI disk analyzers are great for figuring out what's filling up your laptop/desktop drive. On containers or remote servers, the options are limited to purely text based utilities (e.g. du) or list-centric TUIs (e.g. ncdu) which are usually limited to viewing one directory at a time. I created leaves to fill that gap. Inspired by classic utilities like WinDirStat and KDirStat, it uses a 2-dimensional treemap^1 visualization to show the entire directory hierarchy with proportionally sized rectangles. It's performant enough to handle millions of files, thanks to Rust and multi-threading.…
