Mole is a free, open‑source command‑line utility for macOS that cleans caches, removes leftover files, optimizes system services, and provides live system monitoring. It also has a paid native GUI companion, but the CLI version is fully functional and installable via Homebrew.
Use cases
- Free up disk space by cleaning caches and leftover files on macOS
- Uninstall applications together with their hidden preferences and launch agents
- Refresh system caches and services to improve performance
- Visualize disk usage with an interactive treemap in the terminal
- Monitor CPU, GPU, memory, disk and network stats in real time
- Run a one‑click maintenance routine for a slow‑running Mac
When to choose
- You need a lightweight, scriptable tool that runs entirely in the terminal
- You prefer a free, open‑source solution over commercial cleaners like CleanMyMac
- You want a single binary that can clean, uninstall, optimize, analyze and monitor
- You are comfortable using Homebrew or a simple install script on macOS
When to avoid
- You require a Windows or Linux version (only an experimental Windows branch exists)
- You need a graphical interface with advanced visualizations beyond the terminal
- You need enterprise‑grade support or a warranty
