CCLeaner was once the most popular cleaner in the world. Then it got hacked and shipped malware to millions of people.
Today a big company sell it by subscription.
So a solo developer named Dave rebuilt the entire thing from scratch, open-sourced it, and gave it away for free.
It is called Kudu.
Install it and you get more than 15 maintenance tools inside one app:
→ Clean system junk, logs, caches, and crash dumps
→ Find malware using signatures and heuristic checks
→ See which programs are slowing your startup
→ Map what is eating your disk space
→ Update outdated software in bulk
→ Remove preinstalled Windows bloatware
→ Harden more than 35 privacy and security settings
→ Monitor CPU, memory, disk, network, and drive health
It also creates backups before cleaning and keeps a history of what was removed.
No ads. No upgrade popups. No bundled software. No telemetry.
Kudu works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, supports 30 languages, and has crossed 1.6 million downloads.
The entire codebase is public under the MIT license.
After what happened to CCleaner, being able to inspect the cleaner may be its most important feature.

Saturn had 146 known moons, then astronomers discovered 128 new ones, bringing the ringed gas giant's total up to 274 moons—far beyond any other planet in our Solar System.
This is the coreography of their dance.
These spheres aren’t just bouncing randomly.
Each one is locked to a precise frequency of the Japanese Hirajoshi scale (C, D, Eb, G, Ab)
Their periods create living polyrhythms: chaos slowly collapses into perfect alignment. https://t.co/hKbFeyKUuK
