About this app

Skiff is a local cross-platform disk cleanup tool for inspecting caches, applications, duplicate files, and large files before removal. Features - Disk overview: reads total, used, available space, usage ratio, and disk location for the current user's home directory. - Junk cleanup: scans and cleans platform-specific cache locations, including system caches, browser caches, developer tool caches, Flatpak and Arch package caches on Linux, and Homebrew cache on macOS. - Large file scan: scans common user directories for large files and deletes selected files after confirmation. - Duplicate file scan: finds duplicate files by size and content hash, keeping the first file in each group selected as the default survivor. - Application cleanup: reads Linux packages, macOS applications and Homebrew packages, or Windows uninstall registry entries, with filtering, search, selection, and confirmed uninstall. - Cleanup history: shows the latest cleanup or deletion result. - Settings: adjusts large-file and duplicate-file scan thresholds. - Tray behavior: closing the main window hides it to the system tray instead of exiting the app. Safety Boundaries Skiff performs real file deletion and package uninstall operations. The current implementation has these boundaries: - Linux, macOS, and Windows are supported by the local app and CLI. Each platform has its own cleanup target list. - Junk cleanup removes contents from predefined cache directories. Some package-manager cleanup targets call system commands. - Large-file and duplicate-file deletion only allows regular files inside the current user's HOME directory. - Application uninstall uses the platform's registered uninstall mechanism: - APT: apt-get remove -y - RPM: prefers dnf remove -y, then yum remove -y, zypper --non-interactive remove, and finally rpm -e - Pacman: pacman -R --noconfirm -- <package> - Flatpak: flatpak uninstall -y --app - macOS .app: moves the app bundle to Trash - Homebrew: brew uninstall --formula or brew uninstall --cask - Windows: reads UninstallString / QuietUninstallString from the registry and runs that command - Linux commands that require administrator privileges use pkexec when available. macOS and Windows may show their native authorization prompts. - Flatpak application data cleanup is high risk because it removes app configuration, login state, local databases, and other local app data. - CLI deletion, cleanup, and uninstall commands require an explicit --yes. - The macOS and Windows local builds in this repository are not configured for code signing, Apple notarization, or Windows signing.
