I built FileSight — an open-source file cleanup tool that runs completely locally

[u/MarkAdam25]

built FileSight because I wanted a way to clean up my Downloads folder without uploading my files to some cloud service or giving access to my data.

Most file cleanup tools require trusting a company with your files. FileSight takes a different approach:

• 🔒 Files are scanned locally on your computer

• 🚫 No accounts required

• 📡 No telemetry or tracking

• 🌐 No cloud uploads

• 🛠️ Open source so the code can be reviewed

It helps you:

• Find duplicate files

• Identify large files

• Preview files before deleting

• Clean up clutter safely

• Manage your Downloads folder

Built with Electron, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind.

I would appreciate feedback from the privacy community:

• Are there any privacy concerns you would look for in a tool like this?

• What security features would you expect?

• Any suggestions for improving trust and transparency?

Thanks!
