Bleach is a terminal-based Linux maintenance utility written in Go.
It provides a text user interface with a live system dashboard and menu-driven housekeeping tools, giving users a single place to run common cleanup, update, and maintenance tasks on apt-based systems without dropping into multiple commands manually.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Displays a real-time dashboard with CPU, RAM, and disk usage information.
- Offers menu-driven system actions including Quick Clean, Deep Clean, System Updates, and Maintenance.
- Runs apt-based cleanup and update routines such as autoremove, autoclean, clean, update, and upgrade.
- Includes maintenance tasks such as filesystem trimming and journal cleanup.
- Provides a deeper cleanup mode that also targets developer tooling such as Docker, Node.js, pnpm, Python caches, VS Code, and JetBrains caches.
- Streams command output directly inside the interface so users can see what each operation is doing.
- Uses a responsive terminal layout built with Bubble Tea and Lip Gloss.
