Tinder for your hard drive.

Your disk is full and you don't know why. Wegwisch shows you the biggest things first, one card at a time. Swipe left to delete, right to keep or look inside, up to ask an AI what it even is.

One file, no install. Runs only on your computer – nothing is uploaded.

Wegwisch in action: swiping folders, asking the AI, the block view and the result

Four gestures. That's the whole app.

Nothing is deleted while you swipe – everything lands on a delete pile you review at the end, and goes to the Recycle Bin by default.

←

Delete

Onto the delete pile. You confirm everything at the end.

→

Keep / look inside

Files stay. Folders get queued – their contents come up next.

↑

Ask an AI

"What is this and can it go?" – a verdict in two sentences.

↓

Never again

Remembered forever, never suggested again.

Small app, sharp tools.

🧹

Junk radar

Shader caches, temp files, browser & dev caches, crash dumps – plus node_modules, Unity Library and Unreal caches it finds while scanning.

📊

Classic mode with block view

Prefer an overview? A WinDirStat-style block map above an Explorer-style list with every size at once. Switch any time.

⚡

Fast, parallel scans

A pool of worker threads you can tune. Folders you're looking at jump the queue. Counts real disk usage – no phantom gigabytes from VM images.

✦

AI that's optional

Claude Code, an Anthropic API key or a local model via Ollama. No AI? The up-swipe just disappears.

👻

Finds forgotten stuff

Old Windows installs on second drives, zips next to their unpacked folder, installers rotting in Downloads.

🏆

Brag about it

"You freed up 83 GB" – as a share image, plus how long it took and all-time stats.

👯

Duplicates, big & old

Identical files (verified by hash), files nobody touched in a year, and folders that grew since your last visit.

📦

Uninstall properly

Installed programs by size – swiping left runs the program's own uninstaller instead of ripping out folders.

🗑

Recycle Bin & Windows extras

See what's sitting in the Recycle Bin, empty it, and turn off the hibernation file or clean the update store – each explained.

It deletes files. So it's paranoid.

Every path gets classified before you even see the card. The rules are tested on Windows, macOS and Linux.

🔒 Locked

Your OS, drive roots, profile folders, cloud-synced folders (OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud…), SSH keys, and folders of programs that are running right now.

⚠ Caution

Program folders, app data, Steam games, old Windows installs on other drives. Deletable – with a clear warning on the card.

🧹 Junk

Caches and temp folders are emptied, never removed – apps expect them to exist.
