Markdown Content: Mole 1.32 is live. The Mac cleaning tool that can free up tens of GBs in one go. 44.3K stars. github.com/tw93/Mole Here’s what’s new:
· Performance: significantly faster scanning across mo clean, mo purge, and mo optimize, with parallel cache discovery, less subprocess overhead, and smoother large project handling.
· mo clean: fixes missed cleanup for macOS wallpaper agent and Messages preview caches, improves dry-run accuracy, preserves important runtime assets by default, and adds cleanup support for PCSX2 and RPCS3 caches and logs without touching save data or configs.
· mo status: improves disk capacity reporting accuracy, adds persistent high-CPU process alerts, and fixes rendering issues during terminal resize.
· mo purge: shows full paths more clearly, compresses long paths more intelligently, and speeds up size calculation to avoid menu hangs on large projects.
· Install, uninstall, and system behavior: smoother install flow with fewer repeated sudo prompts, better Touch ID detection on newer macOS versions, cleaner uninstall targets, and more consistent protection for system files, symlinks, and active data.
This release makes Mole faster, safer, and more accurate across everyday cleanup workflows. If Mole helps, I’d love your ideas on where to dig deeper for safe cleanup and more hidden junk.
