About:
mac-cleanup-go is a terminal user interface (TUI) application written in Go that helps macOS users reclaim disk space by identifying and removing unnecessary files. It scans system directories for cache files, logs, and other temporary data, presenting them in an interactive interface where users can selectively choose what to delete. The tool provides visual feedback on potential space savings and prevents accidental deletion of important system files.
Key Features:
  • Interactive TUI for selective file cleanup
  • Scans multiple system directories (caches, logs, temporary files)
  • Shows estimated space savings before deletion
  • Written in Go for performance and cross-platform compatibility
  • Open source with community contributions
Use Cases:
  • Freeing up disk space on macOS systems
  • Regular system maintenance to remove accumulated temporary files
  • Pre-deployment cleanup for development machines
Alternatives:
  • Onyx – GUI-based comprehensive macOS maintenance tool with more features but less focused on selective cleanup
  • CleanMyMac X – Commercial GUI application with automated cleaning and system optimization features
