**Kudu** is a free, open-source system cleaner + maintenance suite for **Windows, macOS, and Linux** (MIT license, by Advent Development Inc). The usual catch with free cleaners — closed source, ads, “Pro” paywalls — doesn’t apply. The full code is public, so you can read exactly what every scan and delete does before running it. 🧹

It’s an **Electron app** (desktop tool built with web tech, same on all 3 OSes):

- 🪟 **Windows** → NSIS `.exe` installer
- 🍎 **macOS** → `.dmg` (Intel + Apple Silicon)
- 🐧 **Linux** → `.deb` + **AppImage** (one portable file, no install)
- 🖥 **Servers** → headless **Linux Agent** (runs as a systemd daemon)
- 💻 Plus a **CLI** mode and a portable build on [PortableApps.com](https://portableapps.com/)

⚡ **Install on Windows** (10 build 1809+ / 11) via **winget** (built-in Windows installer):

```auto
winget install --id AdventDevelopmentInc.Kudu --exact

```

⚙ **Silent / scripted** (push to many machines, no clicking):

```auto
winget install --id AdventDevelopmentInc.Kudu --exact --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

```

📦 **Direct NSIS silent install** (skip winget):

```auto
Kudu-Setup-X.Y.Z.exe /S

```

🗑 **Uninstall:**

```auto
winget uninstall --id AdventDevelopmentInc.Kudu --exact --silent

```

The good part: every junk target it can wipe — app caches, browser files, temp folders — lives as plain **JSON** (readable text) in the public cleaner-rules directory. Read it to see what gets touched, or edit it to add your own. That’s the bit closed cleaners hide.
