Joedson Alves

Joedson Alves is an independent software publisher distributing its work through GitHub, with a catalog currently consisting of a single focused utility for the Windows platform. The publisher's flagship product, Vacuon, is a disk space analyzer designed to help users understand and reclaim storage on NTFS-formatted drives. Rather than scanning the file system through conventional directory traversal methods, Vacuon reads the NTFS Master File Table (MFT) directly, an approach that allows it to enumerate files and folders with exceptional speed, since the MFT serves as the authoritative index of everything stored on the volume. This makes the tool particularly well suited for analyzing very large drives where traditional scanners can take considerable time to complete their inventory. A distinguishing characteristic of Vacuon is its emphasis on transparency and user safety during cleanup operations: the software shows exactly what it is about to delete before any removal takes place, giving users the opportunity to review and confirm each action rather than relying on opaque automated cleanup. Typical use cases include identifying space-consuming files and folders on cluttered system drives, auditing storage usage on workstations or personal machines, and performing controlled disk cleanup with full visibility into the consequences. The product falls within the broader category of system utilities, specifically disk analysis and storage management software, a segment commonly sought by power users, system administrators, and anyone managing limited disk capacity. With its source and distribution hosted openly on GitHub, Vacuon reflects the publisher's practical, single-purpose approach to solving a common storage problem efficiently.
