Automatically sweeps old download history on start di nichu42

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 non-linear 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 micro-animations.
