Leaves is a Rust-based TUI treemap visualizer for disk usage on remote servers and containers, showing the full directory hierarchy as proportionally sized rectangles. It handles millions of files via multi-threading and can partition by extension to reveal what's filling space.

Fills a concrete gap in terminal-based disk analysis; the treemap view surfaces reclaimable space (stale caches, unnecessary docs) faster than list-based tools like ncdu.
