Summary

CleanMyMac-style cleanup, app removal, disk analysis and live system monitoring from a macOS terminal.

Description

An open-source macOS CLI accepted as a broader CleanMyMac alternative. Combines cache and leftover cleanup, application uninstalling, bounded maintenance, disk-usage exploration and live system monitoring. Provides interactive terminal interfaces, preview options, configurable exclusions and JSON output for selected workflows. This listing covers the repository's CLI, not the separate proprietary Mole for Mac app.
