SlimCleaner - Free
Clean & optimize your PC with a crowd-sourced approach.
SlimCleaner is the world's first software that lets you clean and optimize Windows systems using a crowd-sourced approach. SlimCleaner uses aggregated-cloud feedback to recommend optimal settings for programs, start-ups and services.
SlimCleaner uses what's called "authoritative ranking" to ensure that the ratings for your programs are accurate and that they reflect what people really think. It works by weighing the ratings of each contributor against their previous levels of accuracy and against the ratings of high-ranking users.

How does SlimCleaner use the "Cloud" and What is "Community-Sourced" software?
To get the latest profiles on all the new software, SlimCleaner uses an online data cloud. This cloud is community-sourced, which means that it evaluates programs based on hundreds of ratings, some by tech professionals and others by users who've used the programs and want to tell others about them. When SlimCleaner assesses your PC, it actively streams data to the cloud, telling it exactly what sort of programs are installed. The cloud then streams back an optimization plan, customized to that computer.

Why should I trust Cloud-Based Optimizations?
SlimCleaner uses what's called "authoritative ranking" to ensure that the ratings for your programs are accurate and that they reflect what people really think. It works by weighing the ratings of each contributor against their previous levels of accuracy and against the ratings of high-ranking users. The high-ranking users make up a specialized team of tech experts that evaluates the latest software. As an extra level of precaution, we also monitor incoming ratings and automatically detect whenever someone labels a program in a way that's outside the mean. This lets us look into the program more carefully, taking care to guarantee the best evaluations.

We approach the ever-evolving computing world with a fundamental idea, that the people who use computers know what they want. By offering our applications for free, we can contribute to an active and vital network of problem solving where everybody can have an opinion and a voice. We will eventually market an all-in-one suite that combines the features of SlimCleaner with other essential computer functions. But SlimCleaner will remain completely free to the computing community!
