Mole is a free, open-source macOS CLI (plus a paid native SwiftUI companion app) that cleans caches and leftovers, uninstalls apps with leftover review, analyzes disk usage, optimizes system services, and monitors live system stats. It bundles the roles of tools like CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, DaisyDisk, and iStat Menus into a single binary.

Use cases

  • free up disk space on my mac
  • completely uninstall an app and its leftover files
  • find what is taking up disk space
  • clean xcode and npm caches
  • monitor cpu memory and network usage on mac
  • remove project build artifacts
  • manage login items and launch agents

When to choose

  • you want a free, scriptable CLI for macOS cleanup and maintenance
  • you need app uninstall with careful leftover review and safety checks
  • you prefer open-source alternatives to CleanMyMac or AppCleaner
  • you want disk treemap analysis and live system monitoring in one tool

When to avoid

  • you need a Windows or Linux cleaner (Windows support is experimental)
  • you want a fully free GUI app (the native Mac app is $19)
  • you need deep antivirus or malware removal features
  • you require cross-platform system maintenance
