Rafał Mikrut

Rafał Mikrut is an independent Polish developer who maintains the open-source repository “qarmin” on GitHub, a collection of small but highly focused utilities written mostly in Rust and Python for users who like to keep their Windows, Linux or macOS systems lean and orderly. His best-known program, Krokiet, is a lightweight yet surprisingly powerful housekeeping tool that scans entire drives or selected folders to locate duplicate files, near-identical images, empty directories, broken symbolic links, cache relics and other digital clutter that quietly consumes storage. Graphic designers, photographers and data-hoarders run it before archiving projects, while IT admins schedule it to reclaim server space; because every search is parameterized by checksum, perceptual hash or byte-by-byte comparison, results can be exported as CSV or acted upon in bulk without manual inspection. Although Mikrut’s catalogue is still compact, the utilities he shares are built with the same philosophy: command-line speed, cross-platform portability, MIT licensing and zero telemetry, making them easy to script into larger maintenance workflows. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest upstream release and can be queued for batch installation alongside other applications.
