An AI CCleaner alternative that explains every fix.
CCleaner made its name clearing junk files. SimpleFixAI does something different. You describe the problem in plain English, a local AI reads your actual system, explains a safe plan, runs only what you approve, and keeps a way back on every change. It is free during the public beta, runs offline, and shows real diagnostic data instead of a fake scan.
What you can check before you trust it
Snapshot before every fix
Nothing runs without a backup first. No exceptions.
Undo on every repair
Most reverse with one click from History. Deeper ones set a Windows Restore Point.
Honest outcomes
It tells you when a fix is confirmed, and says so plainly when it cannot verify one.
Full honesty: SimpleFixAI is a new public beta and is not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will warn you on first run. We tell you exactly what to expect and how to verify the download, rather than pretend the warning is not there.

Built for a category with a trust problem
PC cleaners and repair tools have earned a hard reputation. In 2024 the Federal Trade Commission settled with the makers of Restoro and Reimage over fake scans and scareware that reported problems on healthy machines, a 26 million dollar settlement. Across the category, the loudest recurring complaint is auto-renewal billing that is on by default and hard to cancel.
SimpleFixAI takes the opposite approach. There are no fake scans: it shows the real diagnostic data it reads from your machine. There is no card and no auto-renewal during the beta. And after every fix it gives an honest outcome, including when it cannot verify that a fix worked.
A snapshot before every fix
Nothing runs without a backup first, and it saves the real values your machine had, not a generic default. Most repairs reverse with one click, and deeper ones set a Windows Restore Point, so there is always a way back.
It explains, it does not just scan
A local AI reads your actual system and explains a plain English plan before anything runs. You approve each step.
Local and offline
The diagnosis, the repairs, and the AI all run on your PC. No cloud account, and it still works when your connection is the thing that is broken.
Free during the beta, no traps
Full access with no credit card and no subscription to cancel. Paid tiers will come later, without the dark patterns the category is known for.

Questions
How is SimpleFixAI different from CCleaner?
CCleaner mainly clears junk files. SimpleFixAI diagnoses the actual problem with a local AI, explains a safe plan, runs only what you approve, and keeps a snapshot and an undo on every change. It is a repair and diagnosis tool, not just a cleaner.
Is SimpleFixAI really free?
Yes. During the public beta you get full access with no credit card and no subscription, and there is no auto-renewal to cancel. When paid tiers arrive, beta users get a permanent founder discount.
Can I undo a fix?
Yes. Every repair takes a snapshot first, and it captures the actual current values on your machine, the exact registry keys and files it will touch, so undo restores what you had rather than a generic default. Most reverse with one click from History, and deeper repairs set a Windows Restore Point you can roll back to instead. Read-only checks change nothing, so there is nothing to undo.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The diagnosis, the repairs, and the local AI all run on your PC with no internet needed. That matters most when the thing you are fixing is your connection.
