The honest optimiser
Built for maintenance, not magic.
Maintenance Goblin is a friendly interface for legitimate tools already trusted by Windows: SFC, DISM, CHKDSK, temporary-file cleanup, Disk Cleanup, and drive optimisation.
It exists to make routine system care easier to understand. The project is transparent and open source, with no registry cleaner, fake health score, “RAM booster,” advertising, or bundled software.
What it does
Useful tools. Clear feedback.
Choose the work you need, then follow each step from the same responsive dashboard.
Conservative drive care
Use read-only CHKDSK diagnostics and Windows' media-aware drive optimisation for the system drive.
Safe cleanup
Clear available temporary files—skipping locked items—and open Windows Disk Cleanup.
Progress at a glance
See queued, running, completed, and skipped states, plus task timing and overall progress.
Logs you can keep
Review live command output and export a timestamped text report for the current session.
Local and configurable
Choose from three themes, optionally launch at sign-in, and unlock achievements stored locally.
A look inside
Everything in its place.
A note about SmartScreen
Transparent, even before you open it.
The current Windows executable is not yet code-signed. Windows SmartScreen may therefore display an Unknown Publisher or unrecognised app warning. This is expected for the current release and reflects the missing signature.
