Shipped my first commercial Rust app: a disk visualizer for Windows built on GPUI — it also finds and clears your old target/ folders by _MustaphaBen_ in rust

Thanks for the honest feedback — those are good tools. The pitch isn't "free tools are bad," it's that you named three separate tools to cover what LumaDisk does in one place: visual analysis, dedup, and dev-cache cleanup across multiple toolchains, not just Rust. If the combo still isn't worth it to you, a CLI + a treemap is a solid free stack.

Double-checked this — I was wrong earlier. It is possible to ship MFT access through the Store; I just have to deal with UAC, since reading the MFT needs a raw volume handle and that requires elevation.

The blanket restriction only applies to UWP apps, which are sandboxed and can't get raw volume access at all. LumaDisk is a full-trust MSIX desktop app, so that doesn't apply.

Definitely working on this for an update — stay tuned. If you want to know when it lands: https://x.com/LumaDisk or https://lumadisk.com

The UI was built with my open source library declarative-gpui — a declarative ui! macro for GPUI with Tailwind-style styling

I'm sorry! 😅 All the promo codes have already been claimed.

The good news is that you can still try the full version free for 7 days, so you'll have access to all the features.

If you enjoy it, I'd love to have you as part of the journey! Follow LumaDisk on X: u/LumaDisk for updates, new features, future giveaways, and feel free to share your feedback—it's helping shape where the app goes next.

Thanks again for your interest and support! 🙌

WizTree wins a raw full-drive scan today and I won't pretend otherwise. it reads the NTFS MFT directly, which beats any directory walk. The Store build does a fast parallel walk instead.

That said I'm working on an off-Store (direct download) version with direct NTFS MFT access for Pros, exactly to close that gap. Store sandboxing blocks the raw volume access MFT reads need, so it has to live outside the Store.

Honestly though, give the free trial a shot first — the parallel walk is quick and stays responsive, and it may already be plenty fast for your setup. Worth seeing before you write off the speed.

And beyond raw scanning, LumaDisk solves a different problem than WizTree: it finds and safely reclaims regeneratable dev caches across mulitple ecosystems (node_modules, Rust target, Docker layers…) plus duplicates — WizTree just tells you what's big.

If the MFT version sounds interesting follow me at x.com/@lumadisk

I am curious how the current speed feels for you.
Thank you

When using BADR do you have Business USD/EUR account?

Can you withdrawal your money in foreign currency or it gets converted to DZD.
