The full story
DiskLens is a disk-usage analyser for Windows 11 in the spirit of WinDirStat. It has a treemap of your drive, a folder tree, file types, largest files, duplicate finding and cleanup tools, with a Rust engine and a Fluent-style Tauri and Svelte interface.
The author is upfront that Claude wrote all of it through Claude Code, in one long session on 13 October 2026, with REA used for reverse engineering. They described what they wanted and reported problems, but never read the code. Since it can delete and move files, they ask you to treat it as an experiment.
Before and after
- Starting problem
- The author wanted a disk analyser with WinDirStat-style features and a different interface.
- Reported result
- A Rust, Tauri and Svelte app with drive visualisation and duplicate finding.
Device and compatibility
- Windows 11
Experimental, AI-written code; the project says it has not been reviewed.

What you need
- Test on files you can afford to lose: the app can delete, move and compress files. Source ↗
What Claude did
- Analysed WinDirStat using REA and its source, then wrote the Rust engine and Tauri/Svelte interface; the person chose features and reported bugs.Claude Code and REA Source ↗
