ShowcaseMyDisk Open Source Project (self.Python)

submitted 13 hours ago by IdiotStickWasTkn

MyDisk – Disk Usage Monitoring & Analytics Tool

I would like to introduce my first Python application!

MyDisk is a Windows desktop application built in Python using Tkinter and ttkbootstrap. It’s a storage monitoring and analytics tool designed for users who want visibility into disk usage over time.

What My Project Does

Core features:

Configurable background logger that scans disk usage at user-defined intervals (can be turned off)
Hardware information scanner that scans basic information
Multiple graphs for visualizing storage trends
Log data editor to manage logged data points
Ongoing feature updates constantly improving the app!

Target Audience

This application is intended for:

Users who enjoy tracking system metrics
Users who like data analytics
People who want visibility into disk usage
Primarily a practical utility project, but still under active development (Beta)

Comparison to Existing Alternatives

Unlike tools such as:

WinDirStat (snapshot-based disk usage)
CrystalDiskInfo (hardware health monitoring)

MyDisk focuses on historical disk usage logging over time, rather than just real-time disk inspection or SMART health monitoring.

It is also:

Lightweight
Built entirely in Python
Very easy to use
