WizTree also uses NTFS metadata to perform shockingly fast reports on space usage. Just much, much faster than anything else I've seen, and I'm not sure there's any equivalents for other filesystems.

WizTree is so fast it makes me yearn for the day we have the same funcitonality on Linux.

Especially not because I'm particularly interested in visualizing free disk space on the regular, but because I want to backup changed files as soon as possible and the only reliable way to do it is to have some kind of journal.
