Desktop app Built with Rust Zero telemetry Minimal overhead
Edgely Guard The system utility that keeps your machine fast, clean and secure.
A native app with a Rust core. Optimize performance, clean up disk space, detect threats and protect your privacy from a single app.
-
macOS
- Windows
-
Linux
Free, with one limit: the deep clean itself. Every audit, scan, monitor, network tool, app uninstall and the entire 17-tool toolkit are fully unmetered. The only metered action is the cleanup operation itself, which has a monthly allowance on Free. The app shows how many you have left.
Your Guard subscription includes Transfer. Send files peer-to-peer, no cloud middlemen, the same Edgely account, no extra invoice.
Security audit
Eight checks per platform, one score
Each check says what it found and why it matters, as a pass, a warning or a fail, and points to the fix where there is one.
- Firewall on (macOS firewall, Windows Firewall, UFW)
- Disk encryption (FileVault / BitLocker / LUKS)
- Automatic security updates configured
- Remote access audited (SSH, Screen Sharing, Remote Desktop)
- macOS: Gatekeeper, System Integrity Protection, XProtect
- Windows: UAC, guest account, password policy, SMBv1
- Linux: SELinux or AppArmor, fail2ban, root login, pending updates
- Privacy permissions per app (macOS, Windows)
Cleaner
Junk by category, one quick scan
Pick what to clean and leave the rest. System logs, language files, mail, cloud caches and iOS backups are off by default, and browser data has a tab of its own.
Features
Keep your system in peak condition
From disk cleanup to malware detection and hardware health, in one app.
- System performance optimizer
- See where the load comes from and act on it: live CPU, memory and disk figures, startup items, and background apps you can quit.
-

- Startup program manager
- Background apps you can quit (macOS, Windows)
- Health score and disk benchmark
- Deep system cleanup
- Reclaim gigabytes of wasted space. Guard scans caches, logs, old downloads and developer tool caches, and shows the size of every category before anything is deleted.
-
- Quick, Standard and Deep scan presets

-
- Eight audit checks per platform, with a score
- Firewall audit and a port scanner
- Windows Defender status and recent threats
- What each check found and why it matters, with a fix where one exists

- System dashboard
- Your system's health at a glance: one scan tells you what to reclaim, protect and speed up, beside live CPU, memory, disk and battery figures.
-
- Real-time system metrics
- History charts for CPU, memory and network
- Battery health tracking
- GPU and battery temperature
- Developer and admin toolkit
- 17 specialty tools for power users: file encryption (AES-256-GCM), checksum verification, secure file shredding, hosts file editing, scheduled jobs, environment variables and more.
-
- File encryption (AES-256-GCM) and checksum verifier
- Secure file shredder and permissions editor
- Scheduled jobs, hosts editor, startup scripts
- SSL certificate checker and Wake-on-LAN

-
- Battery health gauge with cycle tracking
- Disk I/O benchmarking
- USB device inspector
- Kernel extensions and drivers listed
- Registry cleaner (Windows)
- Scan the Windows registry for broken entries, back them up before cleaning and restore them if something goes wrong.
-
- Broken entries found by category
- Backup before cleaning
- Restore from a backup
- Windows Disk Cleanup categories too
- One-click maintenance
- The fixes you would otherwise look up in a terminal, one click each. Flush the DNS and ARP caches, rebuild the icon and font caches, reset the network stack, repair system files. Every action tells you how invasive it is and when you last ran it.
-
- One-click actions, no commands to look up
- Every action rated Safe or Moderate before it runs
- Flush DNS and ARP caches, reset the network stack
- Rebuild icon, font and search caches; repair system files
Linux
Linux is not an afterthought
UFW, SSH, LUKS and SELinux or AppArmor audits. pkexec elevation through polkit. DEB, RPM and AppImage packages. CleanMyMac doesn't ship a Linux build at all, Edgely Guard does.
- UFW + SSH + LUKS + SELinux or AppArmor audits
- fail2ban, root login and pending updates checked too
- pkexec elevation through polkit for privileged actions
- DEB / RPM / AppImage, with AppStream metadata in the DEB
Built like a security product
Because we are one
The kind of hardening you would expect from an antivirus, in a system utility.
- Protected paths matched component by component, never by string prefix
- Files written with elevation staged in a fresh, randomly named temp directory, against symlink races
- Arguments quoted and escaped before they reach AppleScript or PowerShell
- Heuristic malware scanner with cooperative cancellation
File-integrity monitoring
Set a baseline, see which files changed
Guard records the SHA-256 hash, size and modification time of every file under the paths you choose, starting with the hosts file. Check again whenever you like: every file modified, added or deleted since the baseline is listed.
- SHA-256 baseline of the files and folders you choose
- Modified, added and deleted files listed on every check
- The hosts file included by default on macOS, Windows and Linux
- Files over 100 MB skipped, at most 50,000 files per baseline
