Disk usage treemap visualizers

This cluster consists of desktop applications that visualize disk usage via treemaps, helping users locate and delete large files to free storage. The dated history before the index start is too thin (only 4 dated entries) to discern any shape; it predates the index or its members are undated. Among members with traction signals, Treemapolis leads with 10 stars, followed by SpaceSharp (8) and heft (2).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
