Minimal, fast system cleaner for Windows built with native C++ and Direct2D. No Electron, no bloat. Just works.
- Native Performance: Written in C++17 with Direct2D rendering. ~400KB executable.
- Deep Cleaning:
- System: Temp files, logs, crash dumps, prefetch, and Windows updates.
- Browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Firefox.
- Applications: Discord, Slack, Spotify, VS Code, Steam, and Adobe.
- Development: npm and pip caches.
- Safety First: Intelligent filtering ignores system-critical paths. Files are safely sent to the Recycle Bin by default.
