Workspace hygiene, shareable presets, and local AI compare for VS Code — Free to start, Pro for the full workflow.
Tip: Use ←/→ arrow keys or mouse wheel to navigate. Tip: swipe horizontally to browse.
Overview is essential for developers. It helps you keep your focus on what matters.
With AI Keep Clean, color-organizing multiple workspaces takes seconds: clear project boundaries, tabs instantly recognizable.
If you code for hours, you know the feeling: stay in the code — not in the search.
Local-first AI: Ollama is supported as a local provider.
Built-in and custom presets, tinted import (up to 250 validated themes), import/export from Trial/Pro.
Compare files and folders locally (Trial/Pro). The compare stays on the machine, with optional Ollama. Note: Compare/Diff is a convenience feature and is not part of AKC’s core functionality.
Color status bar, title bar, and side bars per workspace — one glance tells you which project is open.
Click AKC in the status bar to open a terminal already rooted and tinted with your workspace colors.
Tint workspace roots in Explorer. Free: first 2 roots with builtin palettes; root 3+ and custom hex need Trial/Pro.
Rainbow indent and hierarchy overlays make nested code easy to scan.
Offline vibe-catalog suggestions; optional local Ollama seeds. Colour Zen validates contrast before Apply.
AI Keep Clean is a VS Code extension focused on workspace-local settings hygiene, safe sharing via presets, and local-first AI workflows.

Purchase runs through Payhip, an external checkout service. Payhip handles payment and invoicing; that is why card data is not stored with us.
Applies to the purchased version incl. all updates for 1 year from the purchase date. That version keeps working afterwards. Renewal is optional and adds further updates.
