- Deep System Cleanup - Cleans way more junk than CleanMyMac/Lemon - caches, logs, temp files
- Thorough Uninstall - Scans 22+ locations to remove app leftovers, not just the .app file
- Interactive Disk Analyzer - Navigate folders with arrow keys, find and delete large files quickly
- Fast & Lightweight - Terminal-based with arrow-key navigation, pagination, and Touch ID support
Tips:
- If your Mac is mission-critical, consider waiting for Mole to mature further - safety first

Is Mole safe? Mole only cleans caches and logs, it doesn't touch app settings, user documents, or system files. Run
mo clean --dry-runfirst to preview what will be removed. -
How often should I clean? Once a month, or when disk space is running low.
-
Can I protect specific caches? Yes. Run
mo clean --whitelistto choose which caches to keep. Common ones like Playwright browsers and HuggingFace models are already protected. -
Touch ID support? Mole uses
sudofor privileges, so you'll get a password prompt unless you've configured Touch ID for sudo. -
Enable Touch ID for sudo:
sudo nano /etc/pam.d/sudo # Add this line below the comments at the top: auth sufficient pam_tid.so # Save: Ctrl+O, then exit: Ctrl+X
- Star this repo if Mole helped you recover disk space
- Share with friends who need to clean their Macs
- Report issues via GitHub Issues
- I have two cats, feed them canned food if you'd like
