A free beta, ready to try.
No account, analytics, or background cleanup. This build is unsigned, so Windows may show a publisher or reputation warning. Tested on our development PC; independent Windows-machine testing remains pending.

Your files.
Your decisions.
Does anything leave my computer?
Scanning and file-content comparison happen locally. Saved locations, protected folders, preferences, and cleanup counts stay in the app’s local storage. No account or paid service is needed. Read app privacy details.
What does it need to run?
Windows 11 on an x64 PC. The installer runs for the current user and may download Microsoft WebView2 if it is missing. The portable application needs WebView2 already installed.
What can I clean?
Supported user temp folders and Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox caches. Close browsers before cleanup. Browser history, cookies, passwords, sessions, registry cleaning, and extension management are outside this beta.
Will cleanup immediately free space?
Files move to the Windows Recycle Bin and still occupy space there. Groundskeeper reports bytes moved separately from measured free-space changes. Restore or empty the bin through Windows.
What are the beta’s limits?
Scan one local folder or drive at a time. Review up to 100 files per cleanup batch. Links, offline cloud placeholders, and unavailable entries are skipped or reported. There is no scheduled cleanup, permanent deletion, or similar-photo matching.
How do I report a problem?
Email hello@riverandrail.app with your Windows version, app version, and what happened. Check screenshots for private file paths before sharing.
