About this app

See what's using up all your storage space!

Nodescope shows a tree of boces representing your USB storage's folder structure, where each box's color and size represents the disk usage of that file or directory. The contents of each folder are shown underneath the box for that folder, so you can drill down into the hierarchy.

Tap on a box to zoom to that box, or swipe and pinch to navigate around. The children of each folder are sorted biggest to smallest, left to right. Children that aren't big enough to show are grouped together into a grey box - zoom in or tap to see them.

This app is also available for Windows: http://karlhendrikse.co.nz/projects.htm#nodescope. The framework supports various other kinds of trees (I use it to investigate the number of lines in trees of source code). I'm interested to hear if there's some other kind of tree you think would be cool to visualise like this.

Ratings and reviews

Very good app, very useful. Been using for years over multiple phones. If you want something like this on pc, try out SpaceSniffer. Works the same

Nice. Creative & practical user interface.

Displays memory usage on your Android device at a glance, using treemaps. Treemaps, based on the user interface research of Ben Schneiderman, are a fantastic way to see a lot of information at once. This implementation doesn't have bells and whistles such as user defined colors and bumpmaps, but it's simple and efficient.

What's new

- Fix crash on some pre-Lollipop devices.
- Mipmapped fonts to improve readability when zoomed out.
- Minor bugfixes and performance improvements.
