Vapor (ClearDeck Engine) is an ultra-lightweight, open-source native Windows PC triage, hardware capability rating, and safe debloat assistant built with Rust (Tauri 2.0) and Svelte 5.
Designed as an honest, non-commercial alternative to traditional bloated PC cleaners, Vapor operates with zero background resident daemons, zero telemetry, and zero scareware notifications. When closed, it exits completely.
Key Features:
• Safe & Reversible Cleanup (Rescue Bin):
Safely scans and cleans temporary files, crash dumps, and caches. Unlike destructive cleaners, deleted files are staged into a reversible Rescue Bin, allowing full one-click restoration if needed.
• Honest Hardware Capability & Bottleneck Detective:
Calculates transparent hardware ratings (1.0 to 10.0) for Everyday Office, Software Development, and 3D Gaming using real hardware metrics. Features instant SSD vs. HDD seek penalty detection and pinpoints your system's #1 performance bottleneck in plain English.
• Developer Diet:
Specifically designed for programmers, it hunts down dormant and forgotten build directories (node_modules, Rust target, Python .venv) across your drives, moving them safely to the Windows Recycle Bin to reclaim gigabytes of disk space.
• Safe Debloat & Windows Tweaks:
Includes reversible, one-click toggles for Windows annoyances—such as disabling Bing Search in the Start Menu, turning off Taskbar Widgets/MSN news, disabling background Game DVR capture, and safely removing sponsored pre-installed bloatware apps.
• Process Radar & Suspicious Guardian:
Monitors live CPU and memory usage with digital signature verification (WinVerifyTrust) and path heuristics (flagging unsigned executables running from Temp or AppData). Features an offline dictionary of Windows system processes with optional Gemini AI explanation.
• Lightweight & Portable:
Compiles to an optimized standalone binary (<15MB) with runtime memory usage of just 30MB to 40MB RAM. Runs portably without installation or via an optional setup installer.
