About:
Mole is a macOS system utility that performs deep cleaning and optimization tasks to free up disk space and improve performance. It scans for unnecessary files, including system caches, app leftovers, and large/duplicate documents, then provides a safe interface for removal. Its main value is automating complex cleanup processes that are typically manual or require multiple tools.
Key Features:
  • Deep system scan for junk files and caches
  • Safe, reviewable cleanup interface with file previews
  • Optimization tools for managing startup items and large/duplicate files
  • Privacy-focused local processing with no data upload
Use Cases:
  • Freeing up significant disk space on a cluttered Mac
  • Performing routine system maintenance to improve performance
  • Preparing a Mac for sale or transfer by securely cleaning personal data
Alternatives:
  • Onyx – More advanced system tweaking and maintenance, but less user-friendly for simple cleanup
  • CleanMyMac X – Commercial, all-in-one suite with real-time monitoring, whereas Mole is free and focused on manual cleanup
