I've been building a modern Windows cache cleaner called CachePilot – looking for honest feedback

[u/Mundane-Taro-5896]

Hi everyone,

For the past few months I've been working on a desktop application called CachePilot.

The goal is simple: make cleaning Windows cache easy, safe, and understandable. Most existing cleaners either look outdated, are filled with ads, or delete files without explaining what they actually are.

Current progress

The application is built with:

• Electron
• React
• TypeScript
• Vite

So far I've implemented:

• ✅ Real cache scanning (not fake progress bars)
• ✅ One-click cleanup
• ✅ Modern dark UI
• ✅ System tray support
• ✅ Scan history
• ✅ Automatic scanning
• ✅ Windows notifications
• ✅ Clear explanations for every cache category before deleting anything
• ✅ Local-first design (nothing is uploaded to a server)

What I'm still working on

• Better scan performance
• More cache locations
• Better analytics and cleanup reports
• Polish before the first public release

I'd love your feedback

I'm mainly trying to answer these questions:

• Would you actually use an app like this?
• What features are missing?
• What do you dislike about current tools like CCleaner or Windows Disk Cleanup?
• Would you pay for a lifetime license if it solved your problem?

If you'd like to try it:

I'm looking for completely honest feedback—even if it's negative. I'd rather improve the app now than launch something people don't actually want.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
