Prometheus - Free, open-source disk cleaner that respects your privacy

by•
A beautiful TUI app that finds and removes system junk, browser bloat, old downloads, and developer debris (node_modules, .venv). 100% offline. Zero data collection. Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Free forever.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Aryan, the maker of Prometheus. Why I built this: I was tired of cleaning apps that want your email, track your usage, or upsell you constantly. I just wanted something that finds junk and deletes it. No BS. What makes it different: - It's a terminal app (I know, controversial!) - It runs 100% offline - It's completely free - It moves to Trash, not permanent delete The tech: Built in Rust for speed. Uses ratatui for the TUI. Single binary, no dependencies. What's next: - Visual disk map (like DaisyDisk) - AI-powered Cleaning and Detections - Scheduled cleaning Would love your feedback! 🙏

most of the cleaners are trash but this is well thought out terminal based thing and best part is i dont hae to download bloat see ads etc

Rust + ratatui is the perfect stack for a TUI cleaner—fast and no bloat. The "moves to Trash, not permanent delete" design choice shows real user empathy. How does it handle detecting safe-to-delete node_modules when a project might still be active?

@easytoolsdev that is an AI feature yet to come, I'm trying to implement a local AI model like mistral that will be fine tuned to do stuff like this...
