Mole is a free, open-source all-in-one Mac toolkit that combines the features of CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, DaisyDisk, and iStat Menus in a single lightweight binary.

• Deep cleaning — removes caches, logs, and browser leftovers to reclaim gigabytes of space
• Smart uninstaller — removes apps plus launch agents, preferences, and hidden remnants
• Disk insights — visualizes usage, finds large files, and rebuilds caches
• Live monitoring — real-time CPU, GPU, memory, disk, and network stats
• Install via Homebrew or a simple curl script
• Free and open-source, with an optional native GUI app

Yes. Mole is fully open-source, which means anyone can inspect the code. It is available on GitHub and has no hidden processes or telemetry. You can also install it via Homebrew if you prefer a trusted package manager.

You can install Mole with Homebrew:

brew install mole

Or with the install script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tw93/mole/main/install.sh | bash

After installation, confirm it worked by running mo --version. It installs as a lightweight binary with no additional dependencies required.

The command-line version is completely free and open-source, with no subscriptions or upsells. There is also a native Mac app with a graphical interface, available as a one-time $19 purchase with lifetime updates and no subscription.

Mole covers what CleanMyMac does, including cleaning, uninstalling, disk visualization, and system monitoring. The free CLI is community-maintained, while the native GUI app is a one-time paid purchase with a polished interface, live status dashboard, and menu bar HUD. For most users who want a capable CleanMyMac alternative, either version of Mole is worth considering.

Both. The CLI covers cleaning, uninstalling, disk analysis, and monitoring for free from the terminal. The native Mac app adds a visual dashboard, disk map, menu bar HUD, fan control, and Battery Care, available as a one-time $19 purchase with lifetime updates. See the Mole app.

Mole supports modern versions of macOS and works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Check the GitHub repository for the latest compatibility information.
