DiskTracker – AI-Powered Real-Time Windows Disk Monitoring CLI
GitHub Repository: pratham15541/disktracker
Repository Name: disktracker
DiskTracker is a high-performance, real-time Windows file system monitoring daemon combined with an AI-powered command-line interface. Instead of repeatedly scanning the entire disk like traditional disk analyzers, DiskTracker continuously monitors NTFS volumes using the Windows USN (Update Sequence Number) Journal, enabling instant detection of file creations, deletions, modifications, and renames with minimal CPU and disk overhead.
The system follows a log-structured architecture where every filesystem mutation is appended to a SQLite database operating in WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) mode. A background processing engine indexes and maintains the filesystem state without blocking user operations, making the application efficient even on large storage volumes.
DiskTracker also integrates a LangGraph-powered AI agent that allows users to interact with their storage using natural language. Users can search for files, analyze storage usage, inspect mutation history, compare snapshots, diagnose system health, and perform maintenance tasks through conversational commands. Potentially destructive operations are protected with Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) approval, ensuring the AI cannot execute file-changing actions without explicit user confirmation.
