Disk Monitor

July 22, 2026 · View on GitHub

Disk usage as an animated progress bar in your DankBar, refreshed every 30 seconds.

What it does

Compact bar pill: icon, optional label, animated progress bar and percentage
Slow 30 second polls: disks move slowly, frequent polling is wasted work
Pill shows the root disk by default, or every disk combined as one percentage via a setting
Fill follows your theme accent, turns orange above 75% and red above 90%
Click the pill for every real filesystem, biggest first: used space and total size with the device name dimmed, threshold-coloured bars
External mounts (SMB, NFS and other network filesystems) are hidden by default and shown with a toggle
Zero dependencies

From the DMS plugin browser (Settings, Plugins, Browse), or manually:

git clone https://github.com/rollecode/dms-disk-monitor ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/diskMonitor

Then enable it in Settings, Plugins, and add the widget to your bar layout in Settings, Bar.

Show label: toggle the text label between the icon and the bar (on by default)
Label text: customize the label (default DISK)
Combine all disks: show one percentage for every disk together instead of the root disk
Show external mounts: include network filesystems like SMB and NFS shares
Entries to show: how many filesystems the popout lists, 5 to 60 (default 30)
