What's new in 0.7.0

Added

  • Discord cache cleanup — the junk cleaner now covers Discord's Cache, Code Cache, and GPUCache (cache only, never tokens or message history).
  • Windows installer — a graphical sifty-setup.exe with a Welcome/License/Install/Finish wizard that adds Sifty to PATH and registers an Add/Remove Programs entry, alongside the existing portable sifty.exe.

Changed

  • Item counts now read with thousands separators across the CLI (12,480 files, not 12480).
  • Worktree cleanup is described by what it detects — any prunable git worktree, not just coding-agent leftovers.

Fixed

  • sifty tui no longer crashes in the packaged exe. Textual imports its widgets lazily, so PyInstaller left textual.widgets._tab_pane and the styles.tcss stylesheet out of the build. Both are now bundled. This affected winget / scoop / installer users; pip and pipx installs were unaffected. (#34)
  • Optimize no longer crashes when you navigate away mid-run.
  • Self-update is disabled on editable (-e) installs instead of offering a phantom upgrade that then fails.

Install: winget install Vortrix5.Sifty · pip install sifty · or grab sifty.exe / sifty-setup.exe below.

Sifty v0.6.0

Choose a tag to compare

@Vortrix5 Vortrix5 released this 12 Jun 11:07

The first public release of Sifty, a Windows maintenance CLI + TUI that sifts the junk from the keep. Clean junk, analyze disks, find duplicates, manage apps/startup/services, apply updates, prune dev artifacts, and organize files. Dry-run by default, Recycle Bin only.

Install

pipx install sifty      # or: pip install sifty
sifty doctor
sifty tui

Prefer no Python? Grab sifty.exe from the Assets below; it's standalone.

Highlights in 0.6.0

  • sifty checkup: one read-only scan of everything (junk, updates, registry orphans, stale downloads, disk space, startup), with one-tap fixes in the TUI.
  • Uninstall leftovers scanner (sifty apps leftovers "App"): finds what an uninstaller left behind in AppData/ProgramData, conservatively and safely.
  • sifty config: view and edit settings without hunting through %APPDATA%.
  • Broader browser-cache cleaning: every Chrome/Edge/Brave/Vivaldi profile + Firefox; cache only, never cookies/history.
  • Crash-dump & WER junk categories, sifty organize undo, and a redesigned Home where checkup findings fix in place.
  • AI chat approvals are now inline Run/Skip buttons in the conversation.

Safety

All deletion goes to the Recycle Bin through one audited code path; destructive commands are dry-run until --apply; C:\Windows, Program Files, ProgramData and your profile/drive roots are refused. The local AI is advisory and never deletes on its own.
