## Features

- **Deep System Cleanup** - Cleans way more junk than CleanMyMac/Lemon - caches, logs, temp files
- **Thorough Uninstall** - Scans 22+ locations to remove app leftovers, not just the .app file
- **System Optimization** - Rebuilds caches, resets services, and trims swap/network cruft with one run
- **Interactive Disk Analyzer** - Navigate folders with arrow keys, find and delete large files quickly
- **Fast & Lightweight** - Terminal-based with arrow-key navigation, pagination, and Touch ID support

## Quick Start

**Install:**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tw93/mole/main/install.sh | bash
```

Or via Homebrew:

```bash
brew install tw93/tap/mole
```

**Run:**

```bash
mo                      # Interactive menu
mo clean                # System cleanup
mo clean --dry-run      # Preview mode
mo clean --whitelist    # Manage protected caches
mo uninstall            # Uninstall apps
mo optimize             # System optimization
mo analyze              # Disk analyzer

mo touchid              # Configure Touch ID for sudo
mo update               # Update Mole
mo remove               # Remove Mole from system
mo --help               # Show help
mo --version            # Show installed version

```

## Tips

- Safety first, if your Mac is mission-critical, wait for Mole to mature before full cleanups.
- Preview the cleanup by running `mo clean --dry-run` and reviewing the generated list.
- Protect caches with `mo clean --whitelist`; defaults cover Playwright, HuggingFace, Maven, and Surge Mac paths.
- Use `mo touchid` to approve sudo with Touch ID instead of typing your password.

## Quick Launchers

Launch Mole commands instantly from Raycast or Alfred:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tw93/Mole/main/scripts/setup-quick-launchers.sh | bash
```

This adds 4 commands to Raycast and Alfred:
- `clean` - Deep system cleanup
- `uninstall` - Remove applications
- `optimize` - System health check
- `analyze` - Disk space explorer

Raycast scripts auto-detect your preferred terminal (Warp, Ghostty, Alacritty, Kitty, etc). Set `MO_LAUNCHER_APP=<name>` to override.

**Uninstall:**
```bash
rm -rf ~/Documents/Raycast/Scripts/mole-*.sh
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Raycast/script-commands/mole-*.sh
```

## Support
