Mole

Product focus

Mole is a macOS maintenance toolkit distributed as a single Go binary. It folds the everyday utilities of CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, DaisyDisk, and iStat Menus into one CLI, with safety-first defaults and a strong dry-run story.

What it does

• Deep cleanup: removes caches, logs, browser leftovers, and orphaned app data.
• Smart uninstall: strips launch agents, preferences, and hidden remnants on top of the app bundle.
• Disk insights: visualizes usage and surfaces large files.
• Live monitoring: real-time CPU, GPU, memory, disk, and network stats.
• Docker hygiene: prunes containers, images, and build cache while leaving volumes untouched.
• AI agents cleanup: rotates session transcripts and sandbox VMs for Claude Code/Desktop, Codex CLI, and Cursor without losing auth, memories, or installed skills.

Engineering approach

Written in Go, with Bubble Tea for the interactive TUI, lipgloss for styling, and gopsutil for system metrics. Safety-first defaults: path validation, protected-directory rules, explicit confirmation on destructive actions, signed releases with SHA256 verification.

My role

I maintain a personal fork of the upstream project (tw93/Mole), focused on the cleanup flows I rely on day to day across multiple AI coding agents.
