Website · Guides · Changelog Sifty is an open-source maintenance tool for Windows that is built to be hard to misuse: it previews every change, deletes only to the Recycle Bin, and can undo any clean. It clears junk and caches, analyzes disk usage, finds duplicate files, and manages apps, startup items and updates. It also cleans the clutter other cleaners ignore: stray node modules and build output, orphaned git worktrees, and bloated WSL2 disks. Drive it from a scriptable CLI or a full-screen terminal UI. The optional AI assistant runs locally via [Ollama]: nothing leaves your machine, and it only ever sees file metadata (names, sizes, paths), never file contents. Safety first Sifty deletes files and changes system state, so it is built to be hard to misuse: - Dry-run by default. Every destructive command previews what it would do; real changes need an explicit --apply . - Recycle Bin, never permanent delete. All removals go through one trash() function backed by Send2Trash, and sifty undo restores the last clean. - Protected paths. C:\\Windows , Program Files , ProgramData , the drive root and your profile root are refused even with --apply --yes . - Audit log. Every applied deletion is recorded in %APPDATA%\\sifty\\audit.log . - The AI never deletes anything. It is advisory; high-risk tool calls always require your approval.
