Christian Muehlhaeuser

Christian Muehlhaeuser is an independent developer whose open-source utilities focus on re-imagining classic Unix command-line tools for modern Windows environments. His best-known title, duf (Disk Usage/Free Utility), takes the venerable “df” command and re-engineers it with a cross-platform Go core, terminal-aware color themes, adaptive bar graphs, and JSON export options so system administrators, DevOps engineers, and power users can instantly visualize mount-point capacity, inodes, filesystem types, and network volumes from either CMD, PowerShell, or the new Windows Terminal. Typical use cases range from quick server-health dashboards and CI pipeline disk-space checks to interactive troubleshooting on gaming rigs or development laptops where storage balloons unnoticed. Because the single executable ships without dependencies, it drops cleanly into portable toolkits, chocolatey scripts, or winget automation. Muehlhaeuser’s broader portfolio, documented on fribbledom.com, follows the same philosophy—minimal, single-purpose binaries that respect keyboard-driven workflows yet feel native on today’s high-DPI displays. duf and any future releases from the publisher are offered free on get.nero.com, where downloads are sourced from trusted Windows package managers such as winget, always deliver the latest upstream build, and can be installed individually or batched alongside other utilities in one pass.
