Frequently Asked Questions

Which AI tools are supported?

Brain Cleaner currently supports residues from Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, Gemini, and several other popular LLM environments.

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. The app runs 100% locally. No file paths, structures, or data ever leave your machine.

Does it delete essential project files?

No. It only targets temporary caches, logs, and obsolete session history. You always have a preview before confirming any deletion.

How does the monitoring work?

It periodically checks designated folders for growth in cache and history weight, alerting you when it's time for a refresh.

Why should I clean the AI's memory?

AI tools like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Gemini store vast amounts of session history, indexing data, heavy video/screenshot files, and local embeddings. Over time, this can occupy gigabytes of space, slow down your IDE, and lead to cluttered context. Brain Cleaner removes these residues without affecting your active work.
