#### Compress your least-used files when disk space runs low

SmartCompress watches your free disk space. When it drops below a
threshold you choose, it compresses the least recently used, largest
files in a folder you pick, losslessly with gzip.

Example: smartcompress --watch-dir ~/Downloads --threshold 15

The snap can only access non-hidden files in your home folder.
