Preen: The Ultimate System Cleaner and Optimizer

Preen is a high-performance, cross-platform system maintenance and optimization tool, built with Rust. It is designed to be a modern, open-source alternative to proprietary tools like CleanMyMac, offering a powerful core logic accessible via both a fast Terminal User Interface (TUI) and a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI).

🚀 Features (Planned)

• Deep System Scan: Identify and safely remove caches, logs, and temporary files across macOS and Linux.
• Application Uninstaller: Completely remove applications and all associated files.
• Disk Usage Analyzer: Interactive, visual analysis of disk space consumption.
• System Monitor: Real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and network usage.
• Project Cleanup: Smartly purge build artifacts like node_modules and Rust target directories.

🏗️ Architecture

Preen is built on a robust Core-first architecture using a Cargo Workspace and the Hexagonal Architecture (Ports and Adapters) pattern. This ensures maximum performance, testability, and separation of concerns.

🛠️ Development

This project is a Mono-repo managed by a Cargo Workspace.

Prerequisites

• Rust stable toolchain
• cargo

Build and Run

To check the entire workspace:

cargo check --all

To run the TUI application (Phase 1 focus):

cargo run --package preen-tui
