Why
mo, in a window.
tw93/Mole — a macOS deep-cleaner. Caches, Xcode, npm, logs, Trash. One binary. MIT.
But it lives in the terminal.
mole — zsh
~$mo clean --dry-run
Scanning cache directories...
✓ User app cache
✓ Browser cache (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
✓ Developer tools (Xcode, Node.js, npm)
✓ System logs and temp files
✓ App-specific cache (Spotify, Dropbox, Slack)
✓ Trash
Preview only — nothing removed.
Mole UI calls the same mo. Adds a window.
Same engine
Your system mo, wrapped.
Same safety
Path validation. Protected rules. Explicit confirmation.
New surface
Treemap. Preview. Trash-safe. Undo.
How it works
Three steps. Nothing hidden.
Scan via mo --dry-run. Delete via Rust trash::delete. Nothing moves without preview.
Step 02
Scan
Launch a module. Mole UI runs mo <cmd> --dry-run under the hood — nothing is touched yet.
$ mo clean --dry-run
Scanning cache directories...
✔ preview ready · nothing removed
Step 03
Review & clean
Preview every path. Select what goes. One click moves them to Trash. Undo from the activity log.
→ selected categories confirmed
→ moving to Trash...
✔ done · view activity log
