CleanMyMac CLI Wiki

Welcome! This is the shared knowledge base for everyone using and building CleanMyMac CLI.

CleanMyMac CLI helps you clean development artifacts, understand what takes up space, and optimize your Mac directly from the Terminal — while keeping every action transparent and under your control.

🩷 Built and used daily by the CleanMyMac team on our own Macs.
