Mole
Keeping a Mac clean, terminal-based cleanup covering caches, complete app uninstalls without leftover files, disk usage analysis, and system monitoring, is normally handled by paid GUI cleaner applications. Mole provides the same set of housekeeping functions from the terminal, for developers who manage their machine without a GUI tool.
As of August 2026 the repository has 62,836 stars and 4 open issues, indicating very high adoption and low outstanding-issue volume.
This is placed in Assess. It is a widely adopted, actively maintained terminal alternative to paid Mac cleanup utilities. There is no first-person production use yet, which is the gate for Trial.
