A Field Quartermaster
Stacked Workshop crates - the pile you're finally ready to thin out.
Based on community discussions and Steam hardware data, an estimated 60% to 70% of the active DayZ community gets openly annoyed by the constant unsubscribe/reinstall cycle, and roughly 25% to 35% face hard storage limits where they actively run out of space due to mods clashing with personal files, photos, videos, and other games.
Hygiene is built for that mess.
App preview

How-to
Short setup notes - Windows warning, Find, cleanup, and optional launcher sync.
Windows SmartScreen
Setup is not code-signed yet. If Windows says it protected your PC:
- More info
- Run anyway
Unsigned for now - CA certs are pricey for a free DayZ tool. More info -> Run anyway is normal.
.NET
If Setup asks, install .NET 8 Desktop Runtime (x64) - once.
Find -> Favourites -> Play
Open Find. Search official and community servers. Mark a few, then Add selected to Fav.
On Favourites, download any missing mods, then hit Play when the pack is ready.
Cleanup
Mark the servers you still play as Active, and keep hosts you like in Favourites. Hygiene then shows which Workshop mods are Unique to one host, Shared across several, or Unused leftovers.
When you clean up, Steam can unsubscribe those mods and move the folders to the Recycle Bin (or folder-only if you prefer). Shared mods stay so your other servers keep working.
DZSA / vanilla
You do not need DZSA or the vanilla launcher. If you already use them, Hygiene can sync favourites both ways when those files exist - optional, not required.
Branding
Four looks for DayZ Hygiene. Peek at each pack, or download them all in one zip. Single wallpapers are still on Home.
B Coastal dirt road
Wet coastal road at dusk. Mud, fog, and the long road ahead.
C Coastal town
Grey afternoon on the ridge - town and sea laid out below.
D Desk in forest
Leave the dusty PC behind. The adventure is waiting.
Show your creativity with DayZ Hygiene art sharing. Read the site, try the tool if you can, then create a wallpaper DayZ players would love on their desktop. Your creds stay in the art.
