Storage & Cleanup
Mole
v1.64.0, released this week
About
Mole clears caches, logs, and files left behind by uninstalled apps, finds large files, and keeps an eye on system resources, all from the terminal through an easy interactive interface. Commands such as mo clean, mo uninstall, mo analyze, mo optimize, and mo status can replace heavy background cleaners like CleanMyMac. Running a cleanup with --dry-run first shows exactly what would change.
