diskus

Minimal, fast, parallelized alternative to `du -sh` for computing directory size, several times faster on large folders.

Desktopfreeglobal

diskus is a minimal command-line tool that computes a directory’s total size using parallelized traversal, offering a faster alternative to the traditional single-threaded du -sh. It reduces wait time for size checks on large directory trees by using multiple cores, aimed at developers and system administrators who need quick total-size checks before backups or cleanups. The project is open-source and suitable for self-hosting.
