Thank You, Software Mirrors! DiskRaptor Gets 4.7/5
A sincere thank you to Software Mirrors for the detailed review of DiskRaptor 1.0.25! A 4.7/5 rating from a site that carefully documents every feature means a lot — especially the verdict that DiskRaptor is "one of the more interesting modern alternatives" to WinDirStat and DaisyDisk.
What the review highlighted
The review dug deep into the architecture and the features we care most about:
- Rust + Tauri 2 — a native scanning engine with a lightweight webview UI, no bundled Chromium
- Virtual tree view — stays responsive even with 10+ million files
- Parallel scanning — designed for drives with millions of files, with graceful handling of access-denied folders
- Multiple visualizations — pie charts, squarified treemaps, bar charts and the Galaxy 3D view
- Duplicate detection — content hashing with xxHash3, catching renamed copies
- Top 50 largest files, file search and type filtering (images, video, audio, archives, PDFs)
- Trash recovery, direct file management, and HTML/CSV/JSON report exports
- Cross platform — Windows, macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon) and Linux
"Much more than a basic folder size viewer"
The review's final verdict is exactly the direction we're building toward — a disk analyzer that helps you understand your storage and act on it: "Its Rust based scanning engine, virtual tree interface, multiple visualizations, duplicate detection, file filtering, and report export make it much more than a basic folder size viewer."
Honest about the rough edges
We also appreciate the balanced Cons list — the project is young, and some advanced features still need refinement. That's fair, and it's exactly why we keep shipping updates: 800+ commits, active development, and a changelog that grows every few weeks.
What's new in 1.0.25
The review covers our latest release, which is fully translated into all 25 languages with automatic OS-language detection, plus S.M.A.R.T. fixes, keyboard shortcuts and installer improvements. See the changelog for the full list.
