Mole

Deep clean and optimize your Mac.

Changelog

1. Find apps inside subfolders when slimming: mo slim now scans one level of plain folders under the app directories, displays long names more compactly and still searches their full names.
2. Smoother Analyze and menus: Large-directory scans avoid repeated sorting, while narrow terminals keep selection, confirmation and cancellation controls visible with less unnecessary wrapping.
3. More careful personal-data selection: --with-data no longer preselects CrossOver, Whisky or OpenEmu game data, and a hidden backup of an app no longer displaces its visible installation in the uninstall list.
4. More accurate permission and disk checks: Missing Full Disk Access is detected more reliably, and external-drive cleanup stops without removing contents when disk information cannot be verified.
5. Stop later work after cancellation: Cleanup stops subsequent steps after a cancellation signal, a timed-out Trash move stops later removals, and slimming, installer cleanup and configuration confirmations cancel when input closes.
6. Find more developer-tool storage: Cleanup reports large Conductor workspaces and archived conversations without deleting them, and can find a standalone pnpm installation outside PATH.
7. More accurate system status: A routed Ethernet interface shows the correct IP, and a minimal PATH no longer turns some system readings into zero.
8. Touch ID and optimization preview fixes: Commented-out Touch ID configuration no longer appears enabled, and mo optimize -n previews the optimization plan.

更新日志

1. 瘦身能找到子文件夹里的 App：mo slim 会扫描应用目录下一层普通文件夹，长名称显示更紧凑，搜索仍按完整名称匹配。
2. Analyze 和列表操作更流畅：扫描大目录时减少重复排序，窄终端优先保留选择、确认和取消提示，减少不必要的换行。
3. 卸载时更稳妥地处理个人数据：--with-data 不再默认选中 CrossOver、Whisky 和 OpenEmu 的游戏数据，同一 App 的隐藏备份也不再挤掉正常安装的条目。
4. 权限和外置磁盘检查更准确：更可靠地识别完整磁盘访问权限不足，无法确认磁盘信息时停止外置盘清理，保留目标内容。
5. 取消操作能及时停下：清理收到取消信号后停止后续步骤，移入废纸篓超时后停止后续删除，瘦身、安装包清理和配置确认遇到输入关闭时会取消。
6. 更容易找到开发工具的占用：清理时会提示 Conductor 工作区和归档对话的较大占用，但不删除这些内容，独立安装且不在 PATH 中的 pnpm 也能被发现。
7. 系统状态显示更准确：有线网络使用的网卡能显示正确的 IP，精简 PATH 不再让部分系统读数变成零。
8. Touch ID 和优化预览的小修复：被注释掉的 Touch ID 配置不再显示为已启用，mo optimize -n 也能预览优化计划。

Mole Mac App

If you would rather work in a window than a terminal, Mole Mac App covers cleaning, app removal, maintenance, disk analysis and live status, shows everything before it deletes, and adds tools in the menu bar. It costs $19 once, with free updates and a 14-day refund, and you can download it here. The CLI stays free and open source.
