An app to clean your macOS

Unproofread notes

Came across this post on X and then discovered this cool terminal-style macOS app called Mole that deep cleans your computer. It contains all the features of CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, DaisyDisk, and iStat apps, all combined in a single binary.

JUST WOW!

It can either be installed via a curl command or via Homebrew by running the following command:

brew install tw93/tap/mole

I absolutely love it, I mean just look at the terminal text when trying to uninstall apps via this app:

$ mo uninstall

By the way, the app is built using 77% shell scripts and 23% Go language. And the app is created by @HiTw93, who is from HangZhou, China.

I will definitely be using this.
