  • •Available on crates.io and AUR with straightforward installation paths.
Weaknesses

Post Description

This is my first post on Show HN :). I wanted to check the sizes of the cache files on my computer using terminal. However, I couldn’t find a tool that did this. So I made one myself. I haven’t tested it on Windows and macOS because I don’t use those operating systems. If you encounter any issues, please open an issue.
