Overview

Automatically sweeps old download history on startup and scheduled intervals to keep your list clean.

Keep your download history clean, organized, and private - automatically. Download Duster is a lightweight, privacy-focused utility that automatically sweeps your browser's download record in the background. Say goodbye to a cluttered download list and reclaim your disk space without having to lift a finger. ✨ FEATURES 🧹 Set-and-Forget Automation: Runs cleanups automatically on browser startup and at regular scheduled intervals in the background. ⏱️ Flexible Retention Control: Use a simple slider to choose exactly how long to keep items. Options range from keeping history for minutes, hours, or days, to clearing it instantly as soon as a download finishes. ⚠️ Optional File Deletion: Choose to permanently delete the actual files from your disk when their history expires, helping you free up local storage space automatically (bypasses the Recycle Bin). 🖱️ Right-Click Quick Clean: Need a sweep right now? Just right-click the toolbar icon and click "Dust Now" to clean up instantly. 📊 Configurable Activity Logs: Review what has been cleaned in the Recent Activity panel. You can limit how many logs to keep (by count or timeframe), clear them manually, or disable logging entirely. 🔒 Optional File Details: Choose whether to record individual filenames and timestamps in your local log, or only keep aggregate statistics. 🎨 Premium Glassmorphic UI: Enjoy a beautiful, modern dark mode dashboard featuring smooth hover microanimations. 🔐 PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS Download Duster is built on a zero-telemetry, offline-first philosophy. Your data never leaves your machine. • 100% Local Execution: The extension does not connect to external servers, APIs, or trackers. There is no remote code execution. • No Telemetry or Analytics: We do not collect, track, or share any information about your browsing habits, download history, or extension usage. • Sandboxed Storage: All settings and optional activity logs are stored locally in your browser's secure sandboxed storage. • Minimal Permissions: Requires only the absolute minimum permissions needed to query the local download database (downloads, alarms, storage, contextMenus). • Open Source, licensed under GPL v3 or later
