Mole - a handy tool to clean your Mac

I recently came across Mole, a simple open-source CLI tool for macOS, and found it surprisingly useful.

It brings together a few things I normally need separate applications for: cleaning unnecessary files, completely uninstalling applications, analyzing disk usage and checking system resources.

Installation is as simple as:

brew install mole

Then just run:

mo

It opens an interactive menu where you can choose what you want to do.

One thing I particularly like is the --dry-run option. Before deleting anything, you can preview what Mole is planning to clean.

mo clean --dry-run

If you like keeping your Mac clean without installing another heavy utility, Mole is definitely worth checking out.
