It started with 8.6 GB of junk and a guilty conscience
I build software for a living. My own Mac was begging for help. I ignored it for months.
Here's the embarrassing truth: I'm an engineer who works with cloud infrastructure all day — and my personal laptop was choking on 8.6 GB of old caches, duplicate downloads, and forgotten files from 2023. I knew exactly how to fix it. I just... didn't.
Sound familiar? One day my fan started screaming during a video call. I finally looked. Chrome cache alone was 2 GB. I had the same Zoom recording saved in three different folders. My Downloads folder was a graveyard of PDFs I opened once a year ago.
Then I thought about the people around me — parents who ask "why is my laptop so slow?", grandparents who are afraid to click the wrong thing, friends who don't know what a cache file is and shouldn't have to. They're not going to open Terminal. They just want their computer to work.
So I built CleanAgent. Not a business plan first — a weekend project that actually solved my own problem. One scan, plain-English recommendations, one-click cleanup. No subscription, no account, no data leaving your machine. The kind of tool I wished existed before I spent an evening manually deleting cache folders.
Your computer is personal — what's on it, what you browse, what you download. Nobody else needs to see that. CleanAgent is free because cleaning your own computer shouldn't cost money. It's private because your data is yours. And it's honest — if your system is already clean, it'll tell you so.
Your Data Never Leaves Your Computer. Period.
No servers. No accounts. No analytics. No telemetry. Not even an internet connection required. CleanAgent scans, recommends, and cleans — all on your machine, all offline.
Every Line of Code Is Public
The app is built automatically on GitHub's public infrastructure. You — or anyone you trust — can inspect exactly what goes into the binary you download. No hidden surprises.
Honest Results, Not Scare Tactics
Other cleaners show inflated red warnings to make you panic-buy a subscription. If your system is healthy, CleanAgent says "you're good." No fake threats, no dark patterns.
Built for the People Who Call You for Tech Support
Your mom, your dad, your neighbor who "isn't good with computers." One scan, clear recommendations in plain English, safe cleanup. If they can use a web browser, they can use CleanAgent.
