    It's way more faster than WinDirStat

    All the comments about WizTree being faster are outdated, since the 2.0.1 in october 2024 WinDirStat is as fast if not faster than Wiztree. Reasons that make WindirStat a better option include:

    • No annoying vibrating animated donation button every time you use it.
    • It's open source.

    only real downside is the lack of a dark theme.
