I'm looking for something like gt5 http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/gt5 for Mac. Gt5 is a "du-browser" and tracks the changes in directory sizes between runs. I haven't been able to get it to work on Mac. It executes but doesn't behave like it should-gets you stuck in some nonexistant tmp folder.
So I'm looking for something that can do the same thing. Disk Inventory X is good, but I want something that will specifically track the changes in disk space & files.
Basically when I look at my free space and see it's gone from 25GB to 5GB, I just want to easily find what on earth is taking up that much space.
Edit: This fork of gt5 worked for me! To use it

Edit: This fork of gt5 worked for me! To use it
- Navigate to /usr/local/bin or wherever executables in your path are.
- escalate to root
- vim gt5
- Paste the code
- Save and quit vim
- chmod +x gt5
- Then just type "gt5" to use it!
