Project overview

Code Compass is a desktop utility built to answer a painful question: “Where did all my disk space go?” It scans project directories, groups what it finds, and gives quick visibility into size, activity, and repository health without manually opening every folder.

The app combines a SvelteKit front-end with a Rust and Tauri backend so filesystem and git operations stay fast and local. Beyond inventorying projects, it helps clean up dependency-heavy folders safely (for example node modules, target, and build artifacts) so you can recover space without deleting source code.

Key capabilities

  • Cross-platform project scanning and indexing
  • Project-level size insights and storage-oriented triage
  • Git context at a glance (branch, changes, unpushed commits, remote info)
  • Cleanup flows focused on recoverable dependency/build folders
  • Local-first desktop workflow with no telemetry-first design
