V1.68.0 Steady

Mole

Deep clean and optimize your Mac.

Changelog

1. Touch ID asks once: With Touch ID enabled for sudo, mo clean now waits for the one system dialog instead of opening a second password prompt, and after you type a password on a Mac with enrolled fingerprints Mole points to mo touchid so the next run can use your finger.
2. Safer uninstall: Removing a Nightly or Beta build no longer takes the folders the stable build still uses, TeamViewer and antivirus apps such as Avast, Malwarebytes and Norton are sent to their own uninstallers, a failed removal makes mo uninstall exit 1, and uninstalling Docker no longer prints regex errors.
3. Clearer updates: After a stable mo update, Mole shows the new version's highlights and release link, and an update that cannot replace its files, usually left root-owned by an earlier sudo install, now says so with the command to fix it instead of reporting success.
4. iCloud Drive protected in analyze: mo analyze refuses to delete iCloud Drive's own folders while files inside them stay deletable, and the delete action now says "Move to Trash".
5. More careful cleaning: Shared Adobe caches wait while any Adobe app runs, only Apple-signed macOS installers are removed, Yarn Berry dependencies are kept, and helpers you built yourself are no longer listed as orphaned services.
6. Calmer status: mo status calls a disk critical only at 90% used with under 30 GB free, battery warnings start after 1000 cycles, two disks of the same size are both shown, and a terminal too short for the dashboard asks you to enlarge it instead of cutting off the top.
7. Faster scans: Protection checks match every pattern in one test and timed commands are noticed as soon as they exit, so mo clean --dry-run took 43.6s instead of 54.8s on one Mac without timeout.

更新日志

1. Touch ID 只问一次：给 sudo 开了 Touch ID 后，mo clean 会等系统那一个授权框，不再接着弹第二次密码，录过指纹的 Mac 上如果你输的是密码，Mole 会提示运行 mo touchid，下次就能直接用指纹。
2. 卸载更稳：卸载 Nightly、Beta 这类版本不再带走正式版还在用的文件夹，TeamViewer 和 Avast、Malwarebytes、Norton 等杀毒软件会引导到它们自己的卸载工具，卸载失败时 mo uninstall 返回 1，卸载 Docker 时也不再打印正则报错。
3. 更新结果更清楚：稳定版 mo update 完成后会显示新版本的几条亮点和发布链接，之前用 sudo 安装留下 root 权限文件导致替换失败时，会直接说明并给出修复命令，不再显示更新成功。
4. analyze 保护 iCloud Drive：mo analyze 不会删除 iCloud Drive 自己的文件夹，里面的文件照常可以删，删除操作的说法也改成了「Move to Trash」。
5. 清理更谨慎：Adobe 软件运行时不清它们共用的缓存，只清理 Apple 签名的 macOS 安装器，保留 Yarn Berry 的依赖，自己编译的 helper 不再被当成孤立服务。
6. status 不再乱报警：磁盘用了 90% 且剩余不到 30 GB 才算告急，电池循环超过 1000 次才提醒，容量相同的两块盘都会显示，终端太矮放不下面板时提示放大窗口，不再把顶部截掉。
7. 扫描更快：保护规则一次匹配完，带超时的命令一结束就能被发现，一台没装 timeout 的 Mac 上 mo clean --dry-run 从 54.8 秒降到 43.6 秒。

Mole Mac App

If you would rather work in a window than a terminal, Mole Mac App covers cleaning, app removal, maintenance, disk analysis and live status, shows everything before it deletes, and adds tools in the menu bar. It costs $19 once, with free updates and a 14-day refund, and you can download it here. The CLI stays free and open source.
