topclean
Quiet · Source repository
Cross-platform CLI that frees disk space by invoking each package manager's own cleanup command (scoop, npm, yarn, brew, apt, pacman, yum, dnf, apk, Windows cleanmgr) plus a review-driven flow. Single Rust binary, zero config. Inspired by BleachBit and topgrade.

- inspired by BleachBit
The goal is to provide disk cleaning functionality like BleachBit, but in a zero/low config way like topgrade offers for software upgrades.

Research notes
- Predates the mid-2026 vibe-coded wave (repo created 2021-08-29); a legacy/control entry relative to the project's premise.
- README motivation is 'Also, I wanted to try out Rust' - an honest learning-project origin rather than a marketing launch.
- Tiny footprint: 20 commits, 6 releases, 13 stars. Last activity 2025-11-14 (DNF support merged after the final 0.5.0 release of 2024-11-11); repo not archived but dormant ~11 months.
- Distribution is unusual: Windows via a scoop bucket served from the repo itself, other OS via `cargo run` in a checkout; not published on crates.io.
