CCleaner alternative Edgely Guard
A CCleaner alternative that also audits and protects your machine
CCleaner made cleaning a PC a one-click job. Edgely Guard does that cleanup on macOS, Windows and Linux, and adds what a cleaner alone leaves out: a security audit of the machine, heuristic malware scanning, disk health and a full network toolkit, in one native app that sends no telemetry.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Edgely Guard have a registry cleaner like CCleaner?
Yes, on Windows. It finds broken entries by category, saves a backup before cleaning, and restores from that backup if something goes wrong.
Is Edgely Guard free?
Yes, and without a trial clock. Every scan, the security audit, the live monitor, the network tools, the app uninstaller and the 17-tool toolkit are free and unmetered. The one limit on the free tier is the cleanup itself: five cleanups a month, and the app shows how many are left. Pro, at 39 euros a year, removes that limit and includes Edgely Transfer Pro.
Which systems does Edgely Guard run on?
macOS, Windows and Linux, as native apps with a Rust core: a signed and notarized DMG on macOS, an MSIX package or a Setup.exe on Windows, and a DEB, an RPM or an AppImage on Linux.
Does Edgely Guard delete anything without asking?
No. A scan shows every category and its size first, and you choose what is cleaned. The Windows registry cleaner saves a backup before it changes anything, and a file the malware scan quarantines can be restored. Guard sends no telemetry.
Clean it, then check it
Edgely Guard cleans, audits and scans macOS, Windows and Linux from one native app. Free to download.
