Root, only when you say so

CLeanux never asks for root to browse your system. It shows the exact preview of every change before a single byte is deleted — privilege is requested only for the one signed action you approve.

security, made visible

No black boxes. No blind sudo.

Traditional cleanup scripts ask for root and hope for the best. CLeanux verifies every step.

Blind shell scripts

  • Runs the entire script as root, immediately
  • No preview — deletes first, asks never
  • Opaque logic spread across scattered .sh files
  • One bug takes down the whole operation

CLeanux's verified architecture

  • Runs as your user — root only for the one approved action
  • Exact preview of every file before deletion
  • Small, open-source, auditable helper binary
  • Signed, single-purpose Polkit policies

No deletion without preview

Every action shows exactly what will change before you confirm it — no exceptions.

Isolated privileged helper

A minimal, single-purpose binary handles the one action that needs elevation. Nothing else does.

No external telemetry

No analytics, no phone-home, no background network calls. Your system stays yours.

Fully open source

Every line — UI and helper alike — is public and auditable on GitHub.

Signed, scoped policies

Polkit actions are least-privilege and individually declared — never a blanket sudo.
