MetaClean — offline metadata cleaner with a Vite + React desktop UI

[Moresyl]

Hi Vite community — I built MetaClean, a cross-platform desktop app for removing sensitive metadata from files before sharing. Processing stays on the local machine.

How Vite is used

• Vite powers the React + TypeScript interface and development workflow.
• The frontend communicates with a Rust core through Tauri v2 commands.
• The same UI ships in Windows, macOS, and Linux bundles.
• Batch processing, drag-and-drop, theme support, and status feedback are handled in the desktop interface.

The interesting constraint was keeping the interface responsive while Rust processes multiple files locally, without adding a web service or upload step.
