Cleanerio 0.3.0

Cleanerio 0.3.0

Cleanerio now runs on Linux and Windows as well as the Mac, and the Mac version gains a set of new tools.

New platforms

• Linux: .deb, AppImage, or a .tar.gz with an install script.
• Windows 10/11: an installer or a portable .zip.

New on the Mac

• Cleanup: AI tool clutter, iPhone and iPad backups, broken preference files, Trash bins on other drives.
• Protection: browser privacy traces, saved Wi-Fi networks, and which apps hold which permissions.
• Applications: check for app updates, and find what deleted apps left behind.
• Performance: four more maintenance tasks.
• Quick Tools: a list of open browser tabs with duplicates marked.

New everywhere

• Similar pictures in My Files.
• A duplicate finder and a screen cleaning mode in Quick Tools.

Fixed

• A large Trash no longer makes the window stutter.
• Reset now refuses while the app is open, like Uninstall.

Good to know

• Everything still goes to the Trash (Recycle Bin on Windows) after a confirmation.
• The app updater on the Mac is the only feature that uses the internet, and only when you press "Check for updates".
• The Windows and Linux programs are not signed. Windows SmartScreen will ask you to choose More info, then Run anyway.
• The Mac build is for Apple silicon.

Install

• Mac: Cleanerio-0.3.0.dmg
• Windows: Cleanerio-0.3.0-windows-x64-setup.exe or the .zip
• Linux: cleanerio_0.3.0_amd64.deb, Cleanerio-0.3.0-x86_64.AppImage, or the .tar.gz

Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.txt.

Cleanerio 0.2.0

Cleanerio 0.2.0

A new look, and Cleanerio is now open source.

New

• Light redesign. The whole app moves to a light, flat interface. Each section opens with a single 3D object and one clear button; results are plain lists that are easier to scan.
• Labelled sidebar. Every section is named, and a meter at the bottom shows how full your startup disk is.
• Space Map. Folders are drawn as solid spheres on a tinted field, with the selected one ringed.
• Larger window. The app opens at 1240 × 780.

Changed

• MIT License. Cleanerio is now free to use, change and share. The earlier proprietary license is gone.
• Smart Scan cards no longer let the artwork cover the text.
• Unticked checkboxes are easier to see.
• "1 tasks" now reads "1 task".
• The Mail Downloads icon draws correctly.

For contributors

• Added CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md and a pull request template.
• Added THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md, listing the crates and fonts in the Mac build with their licenses.

Unchanged

Cleanerio still only moves things to the Trash, asks before every removal, never touches protected folders, and sends nothing off your Mac.

Install

Download Cleanerio-0.2.0.dmg, open it, and drag Cleanerio to Applications.
