What is Reclaimed?

Reclaimed is a cross-platform, ultra-lightweight, and surprisingly powerful command-line tool for analyzing disk usage — with special handling for iCloud storage on macOS.

Quickly find your largest files and directories with a beautiful, color-coded interface, and manage them through an interactive terminal UI.

Fully supports Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Features:

  • Legitimately Performant: Fast recursive directory scanning with ultra-efficient progress updates.
  • Carefully tuned repaint frequency — optimized to avoid slowing results by even 5ms.
  • Separate thread for the clock to keep real-time updates buttery smooth.
  • iCloud Aware: Detects and handles iCloud Drive symlink files vs local storage (macOS).
  • Beautiful UI: Powered by Textualize/rich and Textualize/textual.
  • Full keyboard navigation, mouse support, and customizable themes.
  • Interactive Terminal UI: Browse, manage, and delete files/directories with ease.
  • Safe Deletion: Remove large files and directories directly from the interface — with confirmation prompts.
  • Export to JSON: Save scan results for further analysis or batch operations.
  • Real-Time Feedback: Live progress indicators and graceful handling of permission issues.
  • Actual Privacy: 100% offline. No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking - can't even check for updates.
