SocketSweep - High-performance Android storage analyzer bypassing MTP

by•
Standard desktop clients rely on USB MTP, which completely freezes when scanning massive Android folders. SocketSweep bypasses MTP entirely. It pushes a custom C++ daemon directly to your phone via ADB to run raw POSIX scans at bare-metal speeds. That data streams through a local Rust TCP bridge straight into a React Treemap UI. What usually takes minutes of your OS hanging now takes a literal second.

hey everyone 👋 tbh the main reason i built this: i had to clear out my dad's phone storage lol. trying to figure out what's eating up space using android's default analyzer on a tiny screen is super annoying. but if you plug it into a pc, standard MTP just freezes forever when scanning huge folders. so i built a bypass. SocketSweep gives you a massive, instant visual treemap of your android storage right on your desktop. it completely bypasses MTP so it doesn't freeze your PC it scans instantly using a custom C++ daemon over ADB it visualizes everything so you can easily spot and nuke huge files in seconds it's completely free, open-source (built with rust/tauri), and honestly just makes cleaning up phones way less of a headache. would love for u guys to test it out next time u need to clear up an android device. let me know what u think!
