Mole Mac 1.12.1 by tw93 is a Mac app that combines cache cleaning, app uninstalling, disc analysis and live system monitoring in a single lightweight application. It includes a free open-source CLI core and an optional native app with a menu bar HUD.

Download Mole For Mac 1.12.1 Overview

Mole is an all-in-one Mac cleaning and system utility, combining functions that would normally require separate tools like CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, DaisyDisk, and iStat Menus into one command-line and TUI (terminal user interface) application. Built for power users, developers and system administrators who want to clean, uninstall, analyse, optimise and monitor their Mac without juggling multiple paid subscriptions. The core CLI is entirely free and open source, distributed through GitHub and installable via Homebrew or a direct curl command. Mole for Mac provides a native app layer for those who prefer a graphical interface, visual cleanup review, app updates, uninstalling, maintenance tools, disc maps, live status and a menu bar HUD, all for a single one time license that covers 2 Macs, lifetime updates and a 14 day refund window. The native app is pretty light at about 12 MB and runs on Intel and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs. In version 1.12.1, there are some efficiency improvements — background sampling wakes up less frequently during multi-day sessions, the menu-bar CPU usage no longer creeps up over time, and long lists scroll more smoothly. On the cleaning side, coverage now also includes more apps like JianyingPro, Dia, and Zee, cloud-synced files are now clearly marked, real space reclaimed is properly reported, review items are exposed directly in Finder, while chat history, local AI models, install data and active builds are protected against accidental deletion. Software updates got better, too: App Store apps can update inside Mole when it's safe, and Homebrew updates show real progress, with batch updates surviving slow network conditions.

Key Features

All In One Cleaning Tool Kit It combines the functionality of CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, DaisyDisk and iStat Menus into one single binary, so you don’t need separate apps for cleaning caches, uninstalling apps, analysing discs and monitoring the system live. Deep Cache and Leftover Clean up Clears user app cache, browser cache (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), developer tool caches (Xcode, Node.js, npm), system logs, temp files, app-specific cache files, and Trash, often clearing tens of gigabytes in one pass. Smart App Uninstaller Uninstalls an app and all associated files everywhere in the system – Application Support, Caches, Preferences, Logs, WebKit storage, cookies, extensions, plugins and launch daemons – leaving no orphaned leftovers. Disc Insights & Large File Discovery Displays disc usage, finds large files, rebuilds system caches and refreshes system services to help you see what is taking up space. System Monitoring Live See real time cpu, gpu, memory, disc and network stats from the terminal or from the menu bar hud, all in a native app. Purge Command for Developers The mo purge command does bulk deletion of build artefacts such as node_modules, Rust's target directory, dist and build folders. It will automatically scan common development directories, or accept explicit paths. Logic Cleaners Protectors Cleanup operations try to actively protect chat history, local AI models, install data and active builds from being accidentally swept up, while still surfacing truly reclaimable space. Software Updates Management Apps from the App Store update directly inside Mole when it's safe to do so and Homebrew package updates show real progress with batch updates able to survive slow or interrupted network connections. Native Mac Application Add-ons The paid native Mac app uses the same underlying engine, but has visual cleanup review, disc maps, live status and a menu bar HUD.

How to Use Download Mole For Mac 1.12.1

Step 1: Set up the mole Install the native Mac application with brew install --cask mole-app for a graphical user interface, or install the free CLI using Homebrew (brew install mole) or a direct curl command. Step 2: Verify the Installation To verify that the installation was successful and to view the whole set of accessible commands, run mo help in Terminal. Step 3: Clean Up Your Cache Use mo clean to examine all of your system's cache directories. Before deleting anything, Mole displays exactly what it discovers and how much space each category takes up. Step 4: Completely Remove Applications To choose which installed apps to remove, use mo uninstall. This will allow Mole to clear up any associated files on the system, not just the main application bundle. Step 5: Enhance System Upkeep Run mo optimise to check and fix supported system maintenance issues, update the Finder, network, and database state, and omit any tasks that are thot to be risky or superfluous. Eliminate Developer Build Artefacts in Step Six Use mo purge to remove the node_modules, target, dist, and build directories in bulk from your development folders. If necessary, use mo purge --locations to specify the paths. Step 7: Examine Your Past Operations Use mo history to examine a readable log in the terminal, or review previous cleaning and uninstall actions at ~/Library/Logs/mole/operations.log. Step 8: If necessary, grant complete disc access. To ensure that cleaning and analysis can reach all pertinent locations, enable Terminal full disc access in System Settings if Mole is unable to access specific regions. Step 9: Automate Continual Upkeep To automate normal maintenance without having to remember to perform it manually, set up a cron job (such as executing mo clean once a week).
