Respiro settings in the dark theme, with appearance options, cleanup rules and storage alerts

The problem

Respiro helps people understand what occupies their Windows storage and review what can be removed, with explanations in Portuguese and no programming tools required.

What it does

  • Analyze disks and folders progressively, with cancellation, categories and charts.
  • Find large files and possible duplicates, with optional SHA-256 content comparison.
  • Review restricted cleanup opportunities with explanations and a simulation.
  • Browse installed applications, compare analyses and track folder growth and free-space alerts.

The technical decision

Built with C#, .NET 10 and WPF, using Windows APIs and no external NuGet dependencies. Analysis is read-only; cleanup requires selection, a preview, confirmation and revalidation of eligible items. The cover shows a documented earlier interface; navigation may differ from the current candidate.

The result

Beta source code is in preparation. Advanced startup changes, application termination and MSI removal remain blocked pending disposable-VM validation. No executable or installer is offered at this stage.
