Sweepling v0.1.0

The first release: the tray app, its review window, and a signed installer that keeps Sweepling up to date.

Try it

1. When the straw brush in your tray shows a count, click it.
2. Untick anything you still want. Leftovers of ended sessions start ticked; strays of a session that's still running never do.
3. Press Close. Sweepling checks each process again right before closing it, and logs what it closed.

What's in it

• Finds leftovers of ended Claude Code sessions, such as dev servers, task output watchers and scripts, and says what each one is in words.
• Leaves alone anything with an open TCP connection or a window, anything on the protect list, and the sessions themselves.
• Closes carefully: parents first, after a fresh connection check of the group and a PID and start-time check of each process.
• Notifies you when the count rises, and keeps a local log of every close, with command lines masked.
• Starts at login and updates itself from GitHub Releases; both are ticks in the tray menu.
• Light: about 14 MB of private memory while it waits in the tray.

Heads-up

• While the release is new, Windows may say "Windows protected your PC". The publisher is Hazel Granados.
• Tested on Windows 11. Windows 10 should work but hasn't been tried yet.
• Claude Code CLI only for now; the Claude desktop app, Codex and Cursor come later.
• The owner's dogfooding week runs to 2026-10-28. If Sweepling offers something you were still using, please report it with the "A leftover I've seen" form.

Thanks

To everyone who documented Windows orphans in anthropics/claude-code#62659.
