The README now presents Krokiet as the newer GUI frontend, Czkawka as the older GTK frontend, and czkawka_core as the common Rust library used by the CLI and GUI frontends. ### Adoption history Czkawka grew into a cross-platform cleanup package because it covers both interactive desktop use and scriptable CLI use. The upstream README explicitly calls out platform packaging and names Homebrew, Chocolatey, and Winget as useful distribution channels for users who prefer centralized repositories. ### How it is used Users run the GUI frontends for exploratory disk cleanup, or the czkawka_cli executable for repeatable scans in scripts. The documented feature set includes duplicate files, empty folders, big files, temporary files, similar images, similar videos, music duplicates, invalid symlinks, broken files, and bad names. ### Why package nerds care Czkawka matters to package collectors because it is a modern Rust answer to older cleanup tools such as FSlint and dupeGuru, with a single upstream that publishes core, CLI, and multiple GUI frontends under one project. ### Timeline - 2020: Czkawka repository created. - 2026: 12.0.0 release published; upstream README says Czkawka GTK 12.0 is the last released GTK version and new users should switch to Krokiet. ### Related projects - The README compares Czkawka with Krokiet, Cedinia, FSlint, dupeGuru, rmlint, rdfind, and fclones. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low -
