🐝 HiveClean: I shipped a real desktop app

okay so remember when I said I was building a file cleanup app? it's actually done now and you can download it.

why I built it:
every semester in university we download tons of course materials, assignments, past papers. then we forget about them. next semester comes, same thing. your Downloads folder becomes a graveyard of old files you'll never open again. your device gets slower. you keep thinking "I should clean this up" but never do it.
so I built HiveClean to solve that exact problem.



what is it?
HiveClean is a Windows app that finds and deletes junk files from your computer. it finds duplicate files, shows you space hogs, categorizes everything, and has a recycle bin so you can undo deletes. also scans your Telegram downloads separately.

what I actually built :

this isn't a tutorial project or homework. it's a real app with real features:
- scans 688 files in seconds using SHA256 hashing
- detects exact duplicates by comparing file contents, not just names
- saves your deleted files to disk so they persist after you close the app
- talks to Supabase (a real database) for user authentication
- packages into a Windows installer that works on any computer

I built both the frontend (what you see) and backend (how it works). wrote 2000+ lines of code. shipped it. packaged it. released it.

how to use it:

1. download HiveClean_Setup from the link
2. run the installer, click next, done
3. click "⚡ Scan Downloads" : it reads your Downloads folder
4. click categories on the left to filter (Videos, PDFs, Images, etc)
5. click checkboxes next to files you want to delete
6. click the red delete button, confirm
7. files go to the recycle bin (safe, can undo)
8. want to scan Telegram downloads too? click "Select Telegram Folder" then " Scan Telegram"

that's it. cleans up space without breaking anything.

The tech stack:
Electron + React + Vite + Tailwind + Node.js + Supabase (auth)

this thing actually works. not a tutorial project. a real app I tried to clean my own downloads it works smoothly .

and thanks for my first tester @Mememe12334 who told me the features that wasn't working ..and i fixed it:)

HiveClean v1.0.1 Now with Linux support!
thanks to @Tetstack for the Linux AppImage contribution!
what's new:

✅ Linux AppImage build support ( @Tetstack's PR)
✅ Fixed the recycle bin ENOENT bug
✅ Delete button now works reliably

for Linux users:

clone the repo and build locally:
bash git clone https://github.com/sambee-coding/HiveClean.git
cd HiveClean/hiveClean
npm install
npm run build:linux
the AppImage will be in the release/ folder.

what's next:
setting up GitHub Actions CI/CD so Linux (and eventually Mac) users get pre-built installers they can just download the app.. no building from source needed.
big thanks to @Tetstack making this real.

download Windows v1.0.1:
