Sifty: a Windows maintenance app built with Textual

[Vortrix5]

Hi everyone,

I built Sifty, a Windows maintenance tool, and the whole interactive side of it is a Textual app, so I wanted to share it here.

It's a full-screen TUI for Windows housekeeping: cleaning junk, finding duplicates, uninstalling apps, managing startup and updates, and clearing dev clutter like node_modules and WSL2 disks. There's a sidebar with seven screens (Home, Clean, Disk, Apps, Monitor, Reports, AI).

A few Textual things I leaned on and enjoyed:

• The command palette (Ctrl+P) to jump between screens.
• DataTables with Space to multi-select rows for bulk actions, like uninstalling several apps at once.
• An agentic AI chat where proposed actions render Run/Skip buttons inline in the conversation instead of as a modal. Getting that to feel natural was the fun part.
• Honestly Textual made this far more pleasant to build than I expected, so thanks for the framework.

Happy to answer anything about how it's put together, and very open to feedback on the UI.
