Mole

Deep clean and optimize your Mac.

Changelog

1. More reliable app uninstall: Verified internal Time Machine snapshot folders no longer prevent app-copy checks from finishing, background items stay tied to the selected app, and retained-file reasons, Finder permission refusals, and reclaimed-space totals are reported more accurately.
2. Clean protects renv and uncertain app caches: Saved whitelists no longer weaken renv protection, app caches stay untouched when running state is unknown, and a read-only probe timeout does not stop unrelated cleanup.
3. Purge spends less time waiting on slow checks: A single slow activity check no longer holds up the whole batch, cancellation stops background checks, and filtering failures no longer repeat discovery.
4. Analyze refreshes changed sizes: After deletion or a directory refresh, Analyze updates affected folder and overview totals instead of restoring outdated sizes from earlier scans.
5. Status handles VPN traffic and partial JSON: Network totals use the active default-route tunnel without counting its carrier twice, and mo status --json preserves usable measurements when one collector fails.
6. Developer space and cache cleanup: FVM Flutter SDKs and Codex worktrees get read-only size rows, worktree listings avoid duplicates, and VS Code and Cursor extension download caches are cleaned again.
7. History separates simultaneous commands: Overlapping runs of different commands keep their own operations and totals instead of mixing into one history entry.
8. Clearer terminal progress: Loading uses a centered 2×2 shape, real cleanup results use the same capacity colors as previews, and the installer spinner no longer stops unexpectedly.

更新日志

1. 卸载残留处理更准确：检查 app 副本时，不再被已确认的 Time Machine 内部快照目录阻断，后台项目重新核对归属，保留文件会说明原因，Finder 权限提示和释放容量统计也已修正。
2. Clean 保留 renv 和状态未知的 app 缓存：保存白名单后仍会保护 renv，无法确认运行状态的 app 缓存会保留，只读检查超时也不会中断其他清理。
3. Purge 不再被单个慢检查拖住整批项目：项目活动检查并行执行，取消会停止后台检查，筛选失败时不再重复扫描。
4. Analyze 删除和刷新后更新容量：受影响的文件夹和总览会重新测量，较早的扫描结果不再把旧数字带回来。
5. Status 修正 VPN 流量并保留可用数据：使用默认 VPN 隧道时不再与底层网卡重复计算流量，mo status --json 在某个采集步骤失败时仍会输出已获取的可用数据。
6. 开发工具占用与缓存清理：大文件检查新增 FVM Flutter SDK 和 Codex worktree 的只读体积提示，worktree 不再重复列出，VS Code 和 Cursor 的扩展下载缓存也恢复清理。
7. 同时运行不同命令时历史记录不再混在一起：不同命令的操作和统计分别保存，不再混成一条历史记录。
8. 终端进度显示更清楚：加载动画改成居中的 2×2 形状，实际清理结果和预览使用同一套容量颜色，安装时的动画也不再意外停下。
