Know every byte
across every path.

Device usage reflects the actual disk blocks allocated, including overhead from the filesystem. Apparent size is the logical byte count of the file contents. Sparse files, fragmentation, and indirect blocks can cause these to diverge. Canopy's TrueSize™ mode (--apparent-size) lets you see both perspectives.

Absolutely. Canopy recursively traverses any hierarchy, no matter the scale. For extremely large trees, use --max-depth to limit report granularity, or --exclude to skip known-noisy directories. The NUL-terminated output (-0) mode is optimised for pipeline consumption at any volume.

Canopy operates entirely within your local filesystem. No data leaves your machine. We never phone home, store telemetry, or exfiltrate path information. Enterprise customers get SOC 2 Type II documentation and on-prem deployment options.

Yes. Canopy runs entirely on your local machine with no network dependency. An active licence is validated once per billing cycle, after which the tool operates fully offline.

By default, Canopy reports in 1024-byte blocks. Use -h for human-readable units (K, M, G), -B to set a custom block size (e.g., -BM for mebibytes), or --si for powers of 1000.
