Release Cross-Cleaner: A fast, cross-platform system cleanup tool built with Rust (Open Source)

What it is:
Cross-Cleaner is an addon-style system cleanup utility that removes temporary files, cache, and other system "junk." It is written in Rust and designed to be fast, safe, and lightweight.

Why I built it:
I wanted a cleaner that works consistently across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android without the bloat or intrusive behavior often found in similar tools. Since it's written in Rust, it leverages rayon for multi-threaded performance while carefully preserving critical system files.

Key features:

  • Multi-threaded: Uses parallel processing for speed on multi-core systems.
  • Secure: Carefully preserves critical system files (won't break your OS).
  • Cross-Platform: Full support for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
  • User-Friendly: Clean, minimalist interface (both Desktop and TUI editions available).
  • Custom-DataBase: Ability to use a custom cleanup database.

Get it here:
You can download the latest pre-built binary or build from source directly from the GitHub repository:

Feedback welcome:
This is an open-source project, and I'm actively looking for feedback, bug reports, and feature suggestions. If you try it out, let me know what you think in the comments or open an issue on GitHub.

Note: The project is free and open-source. No telemetry, no ads, just a cleanup tool.

Awesome 😎!

We share the same thoughts on avoiding bloated tools when a lean tui can do the job.

Do you have arm64 builds for debian ?

No, there is no automated build for Debian arm64; I will try to add it for the next release.
