🔍 Why I Built This

As a full-time developer working on multiple WordPress platforms (including electri-c-ity-studios.com), I wanted a way to silence the noise — without breaking things.

WordPress’s cron system is essential, but noisy logs can hide real problems.

So I built this utility to clean up my logs — and now, it's yours too.
