The first public release of Sifty, a Windows maintenance CLI + TUI that sifts the junk from the keep. Clean junk, analyze disks, find duplicates, manage apps/startup/services, apply updates, prune dev artifacts, and organize files. Dry-run by default, Recycle Bin only.

Install

pipx install sifty      # or: pip install sifty
sifty doctor
sifty tui

Prefer no Python? Grab sifty.exe from the Assets below; it's standalone.

Highlights in 0.6.0

  • sifty checkup: one read-only scan of everything (junk, updates, registry orphans, stale downloads, disk space, startup), with one-tap fixes in the TUI.
  • Uninstall leftovers scanner (sifty apps leftovers "App"): finds what an uninstaller left behind in AppData/ProgramData, conservatively and safely.
  • sifty config: view and edit settings without hunting through %APPDATA%.
  • Broader browser-cache cleaning: every Chrome/Edge/Brave/Vivaldi profile + Firefox; cache only, never cookies/history.
  • Crash-dump & WER junk categories, sifty organize undo, and a redesigned Home where checkup findings fix in place.
  • AI chat approvals are now inline Run/Skip buttons in the conversation.

Safety

All deletion goes to the Recycle Bin through one audited code path; destructive commands are dry-run until --apply; C:\Windows, Program Files, ProgramData and your profile/drive roots are refused. The local AI is advisory and never deletes on its own.
