Mole is a command-line tool for macOS that combines the functionality of several popular Mac maintenance utilities into a single program. Instead of buying and running separate apps like CleanMyMac for cache cleaning, AppCleaner for thorough app removal, DaisyDisk for visualizing disk space, and iStat Menus for system monitoring, Mole handles all of these from the terminal in one unified tool. The tool works through a set of commands you run in the terminal. The clean command scans and removes accumulated cache files, browser leftovers, developer tool caches, and system logs that pile up over time. The uninstall command removes an application along with all its hidden files scattered across the system, such as preferences, launch agents, application support data, and crash logs, which ordinary app deletion misses. The analyze command shows you a visual breakdown of where your disk space is going, letting you navigate into folders to find large files. The optimize command rebuilds system caches and refreshes services like Spotlight indexing. The status command shows a live dashboard of CPU, memory, disk, and network activity. Each destructive command supports a dry-run mode that shows you exactly what would be removed without actually deleting anything. You would use Mole when your Mac is running low on storage or feeling sluggish, or when you want to completely remove an application and all its traces. It is aimed at developers and power users who are comfortable with a terminal and prefer a free, open-source alternative to paid Mac maintenance apps. The tool is written in Shell and distributed as a single binary installable via Homebrew.
