Windirstat is similar and my go-to for this on PC. Is there a similar Mac/Linux app?

Strangely I haven't found yet a tool like spacemonger or spacesniffer for Linux. None have that square layout so ncdu it is.

Edit: I am trying something new here. Usually when I have beeninging complain or ask for help regarding a computer problem for a long time the solution appears in the minute in the comments or in a Google search. Fingers crossed.

WizTree is currently the best on Windows. It uses the MFT to scan disk, so it is incredibly fast, just like search engine everything. Its not FOSS, but its free for personal use and actively developed.

I use Baobab on Linux. It appears to support MacOS as well.

QDirstat and K4Dirstat were the ones to use as of a few years ago; I don't know if there's a newer option since then.
