Modules

Everything in one dashboard

  • System Cleaner

    Core

    Automatically detects your active IDE (VS Code, Cursor, or Antigravity) and cleans only its relevant traces. Includes deep-clean mode for a system-wide wipe of all dev tool caches, with smart protections to skip sensitive config files.

  • Browser Recordings

    Antigravity

    Manage recordings created by the Antigravity internal browser. View, delete, or schedule automatic daily or weekly cleanup of previous recordings to reclaim disk space.

  • Session Manager

    Privacy

    Backup and restore browser profiles (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera) and IDE configs. Supports light backups (cookies, login data, preferences) and full backups. Filenames are sanitized and timestamped for safety.

  • Context Cleaner

    Context

    Wipe the extension state and "memory" of your IDE to fix state-related bugs or free space. Works per-workspace (current project only) or globally across all workspaces ever opened.

  • MCP Inspector

    AI / MCP

    Debug and manage your Model Context Protocol servers. Reads configs for your current IDE and active workspace, lets you enable/disable servers, copy launch commands, and filter MCPs by project type (Angular, React, Python…).

FAQ

Common questions

Is it free?
Yes — completely free and open source (MIT). No account or subscription needed.
Does it work with Cursor and Antigravity?
Yes. Context Cleaner auto-detects your active IDE and adapts its cleaning accordingly. It supports VS Code, Cursor, Antigravity (Gemini), and JetBrains / WebStorm.
Will it delete my settings or extensions?
No. Smart protections automatically skip sensitive config files (like antigravity/knowledge, user_settings) and your Extensions folder. The 'dry run' mode lets you preview exactly what would be deleted before committing.
What are MCP servers?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers extend AI assistants with custom tools and data sources. The MCP Inspector lets you view, enable, disable, and debug them directly inside your IDE.
Is it safe to use in a work environment?
Yes. Everything runs locally inside VS Code. No telemetry or external requests. Your data never leaves your machine.
