⚡ Voltrex Light v1.0.0 — Modern Disk Space Analyzer for Windows 11

We are thrilled to announce the official v1.0.0 release of Voltrex Light!

Voltrex Light is a high-performance, native Windows 11 disk space analyzer and storage visualization suite built from the ground up with C#, .NET 8, WinUI 3, XAML, and the Windows App SDK. Designed as a fast, clean, and modern alternative to legacy tools like TreeSize, WinDirStat, and KDE Filelight, Voltrex Light brings fluent visual disk auditing directly to Windows.
