🪄 What is CleanAI?
CleanAI finds and removes dead code from your projects — unused functions, stale imports, deprecated exports — so you can ship cleaner, faster code.
Works with: VS Code, Cursor, and any VS Code-based editor.
💀 The Problem
Every codebase accumulates dead weight:
- Functions nobody calls anymore
- Imports that do nothing
- Code that "might be needed later" (it won't)
- Legacy utils everyone's afraid to delete
This slows your builds, confuses your team, and makes refactoring terrifying.
✅ The Solution
CleanAI scans your entire workspace and tells you exactly what's safe to delete.
One click → Clean code.

🧩 Swift / iOS notes (Periphery)
Periphery is the source of truth for Swift dead-code detection, but like any static analyzer it can report false positives for runtime / Interface Builder entrypoints (for example: AppDelegate, storyboard/XIB-instantiated view controllers).
If a file is intentionally kept:
- Ignore it in CleanAI: In the findings list, click Ignore (this writes to
.cleanaiignore).
- Or configure Periphery:
- Use Periphery comment commands (e.g.
// periphery:ignore:all)
- Or retain file declarations via
--retain-file <glob>
- Or prefer a
.periphery.yml/.periphery.yaml config if you already use Periphery in your project
If you selected the wrong Xcode scheme/workspace/project, run:
CleanAI: Reset Swift Periphery Configuration (then re-run Analyze to pick again)
