Multi-threaded by default
Work is spread across cores with rayon, so a full sweep finishes in seconds instead of walking the disk one file at a time.

A cleaner that follows you
A cleaner that follows you
across every desktop
Cross Cleaner removes temporary files, caches and leftover system junk. It ships as a native window app and as a terminal app, and it builds for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android — x86_64 and arm64 alike.
Built to be small, fast and hard to break
One portable file per platform, with no runtime to install and no background service left behind.
Careful with what matters
Critical system files are protected. Clean entries are hand-maintained per platform and reviewed before they ship.
Four platforms
Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, each with its own program database, plus native arm64 builds on Windows and Linux.
Window app or terminal app
The GUI is egui; the TUI is ratatui and runs anywhere a shell does. Same engine, same database, your choice of surface.
Updates itself
Binaries check the release feed and replace themselves in place. The Windows installer is skipped during an in-app update, since it needs elevation.
Bring your own database
Every list is a plain JSON file you can edit or extend. Programs, registry entries and paths all live in open catalogs.
Pick your platform
All links point at the newest published release, so they never go stale. No account, no installer required.
Windows on x64 and on Arm are separate downloads. The arm64 setup installs in 64-bit mode and refuses to run on x64, so an Arm machine upgrades cleanly from the x64 installer.

Linux builds are portable: download one file, mark it executable and run it. Audio needs ALSA headers only if you build from source.
macOS is arm64 only. The app is unsigned and not notarized, so Gatekeeper will ask before the first launch.
One APK covering every Android ABI. It lists apps and their caches to clear, and cannot update itself in place.

Pick the window app for a quick sweep, or the terminal app when you live in a shell.

Small on disk, quiet on the CPU
The release profile trades a little throughput for a noticeably smaller executable. Nothing here is bound tightly enough for that to show.

The cleanup catalogs are public
Every program Cross Cleaner knows about is listed in the repository, so you can read exactly what gets removed before running anything.
