Worked Proof shown

SpaceMonger 1.40 recreated with extra hiding features

Claude rebuilt the old SpaceMonger 1.40 disk space viewer in about an hour, and its owner added folder banning, name hiding and a quick-hide key he had wanted for years.

The full story

The poster had always preferred SpaceMonger 1.40, an old program for finding out what is using disk space, over newer versions and alternatives such as WinDirStat and TreeSize. Claude built a clone in about an hour: it scans every file, collects paths and sizes, then works out how much area each box should take, recursively for every folder.

He then added three features he had wanted for about 25 years: permanently ignoring folders such as C:\Windows, a list of words whose names are always hidden, and a quick-hide key that removes a box for the session so everything else grows to fill the space.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
