ZenCleaner 🧹

pip install zencleaner → type zencleaner in your terminal → a localhost web UI opens → click buttons → it actually cleans your PC.

The website is just the remote control. The real work happens on your own PC via a tiny local server bound to 127.0.0.1 — nothing is sent to the internet.

Quick start (Windows)

pip install zencleaner

Open a new terminal and type:

zencleaner

Your browser opens automatically at http://127.0.0.1:8765 with the ZenCleaner web UI.

What it can clean

Command-line options

zencleaner --help

  --port PORT        Port to run on (default 8765)
  --no-browser       Don't auto-open the browser
  --host HOST        Bind address (default 127.0.0.1 — localhost only)
  --no-elevate       Skip the Windows UAC admin prompt
  --no-auto-kill     Don't kill an old ZenCleaner already on this port

Admin rights

Some tasks (Prefetch, Registry, Forensic) need Windows Admin. On startup ZenCleaner shows a UAC prompt — accept it for full power, or cancel/click --no-elevate and the UI still works with admin-only tasks disabled.

Security

• Server binds to 127.0.0.1 only — nobody on your network or the internet can reach it.
• No telemetry, no data collection, no outbound calls.
• Every clean action is a real Python function running locally on your machine.

Stop it

Press Ctrl+C in the terminal. The localhost site stops instantly.
