Full Changelog: v0.4.1...v0.4.5

FreeYourDisk v0.4.1

A focused release that makes SMART monitoring work out of the box, whatever your machine.

Highlights

• Guided SMART tooling install. The Disk health tab now detects which CLI tools your PC needs — nvme-cli for NVMe drives, smartmontools for SATA/SAS — and which are missing, then offers a one-click privileged install using your package manager (apt / dnf / pacman / zypper).
• The manager and package set are re-derived server-side, and the privileged helper enforces a hard-coded package allowlist (nvme-cli, smartmontools only) — the UI can never trigger an arbitrary root install.

Install

• AppImage — chmod +x FreeYourDisk_0.4.1_amd64.AppImage && ./FreeYourDisk_0.4.1_amd64.AppImage
• Debian/Ubuntu — sudo apt install ./FreeYourDisk_0.4.1_amd64.deb
• Fedora/RHEL — sudo dnf install ./FreeYourDisk-0.4.1-1.x86_64.rpm

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.4.1

FreeYourDisk v0.4.0

Adds a built-in Task manager — a crisis process manager reimplementing and extending the standalone mem-guard.

Highlights

• Real-time CPU / RAM / swap graph + CPU, temperature, RAM, swap and load gauges.
• Per-core utilization heatmap (logical processors, green→red).
• CPU temperature from the package/core sensors (Intel/AMD).
• Sortable, filterable process table (CPU %, RAM %, RAM, user, PID).
• Crisis actions: terminate (SIGTERM), force (SIGKILL), restart, and panic-kill the largest non-critical memory hog.
• Configurable global summon hotkey (default Ctrl+Alt+Delete) that raises the window onto the task manager; the app raises its own priority and requests OOM immunity to stay responsive under memory pressure.
• Fix: app version is served from Cargo.toml via a backend command (single source of truth).

Install

• AppImage — chmod +x FreeYourDisk_0.4.0_amd64.AppImage && ./FreeYourDisk_0.4.0_amd64.AppImage
• Debian/Ubuntu — sudo apt install ./FreeYourDisk_0.4.0_amd64.deb
• Fedora/RPM — sudo dnf install ./FreeYourDisk-0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Recommended for Disk health: nvme-cli, smartmontools.

Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.4.0

FreeYourDisk v0.3.0

A major release that turns the per-service tool into a unified, accurate disk dashboard.

Highlights

• Unified dashboard with a true 3D usage donut (three.js) and one-click scan.
• Whole-disk file-type breakdown — images, videos, …, caches & dependencies, system, reserved — clickable to list files. System size is measured accurately (via du: hardlink-dedup, block-accurate, single-filesystem) so ext4 reserved blocks are shown honestly.
• Applications section: apt/flatpak/snap/AppImage by size, update checks (auto on open) + filter, batch uninstall/update, protected system packages.
• App & browser caches cleanup (Chromium/Electron, Flatpak, Snap, npm/yarn/bun).
• Disk health tab: SMART via nvme-cli/smartctl + real-time read/write graphs + uptime.
• Light/dark/system theme, language, launch at startup, low-disk-space monitor.
• Incremental scan engine: instant cached results on open, new-item highlighting.

Install

• AppImage — chmod +x FreeYourDisk_0.3.0_amd64.AppImage && ./FreeYourDisk_0.3.0_amd64.AppImage
• Debian/Ubuntu — sudo apt install ./FreeYourDisk_0.3.0_amd64.deb
• Fedora/RPM — sudo dnf install ./FreeYourDisk-0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Recommended for the Disk health tab: nvme-cli and smartmontools.

Full Changelog: v0.1.0...v0.3.0

FreeYourDisk v0.1.0

A modern Linux desktop utility that safely scans and cleans your disk — temporary files, oversized files, stale git worktrees and developer caches — with a visual dashboard, charts and a recoverable-by-default deletion model.

Install

Debian / Ubuntu (.deb) — recommended (installs the Polkit helper for root cleanup)

sudo apt install ./FreeYourDisk_0.1.0_amd64.deb

Fedora / RHEL (.rpm)

sudo dnf install ./FreeYourDisk-0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Portable (.AppImage) — any distro, user-level cleanup only

chmod +x FreeYourDisk_0.1.0_amd64.AppImage && ./FreeYourDisk_0.1.0_amd64.AppImage

Features

• Clean temporary files, largest files, stale git worktrees and developer caches
• Recoverable by default (XDG trash) with a dry-run preview before any deletion
• System tray icon with a disk-usage popover widget
• Least privilege: privileged cleanup runs through a minimal Polkit helper — the UI never runs as root (the .deb/.rpm install the helper; the .AppImage is user-level only)

Quality

• The .deb is lintian-clean (0 errors, 0 warnings).
• Read-only scans, zone whitelist and git-safety are enforced by tests.
