"Because I work with a lot of video, my Mac drives can fill quickly. When that happens, things can get a bit tricky. The machine might slow down, or I won't be able to create or save files. Before that situation arises, I like to clean my Mac drives of unnecessary items. When I do that task, I turn to a handy command-line tool called Mole."
"Mole deep cleans and optimizes your Mac, without you having to install expensive solutions. Sure, if you're not used to working with the command line, you might feel a bit daunted... don't. Mole is actually quite easy to use. I want to show you how to install and use Mole. Installing Homebrew What you'll need: To install and use Mole, you'll need an up-to-date Mac. That's it. Let's get cleaning."
Mole is a free command-line utility that cleans and optimizes Mac storage, removing unnecessary files to free space and improve performance. Install Homebrew using the provided curl-based installer for macOS, then run brew install mole to add Mole. On Apple Silicon Macs, add Homebrew to the shell environment with eval '$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' and export /opt/homebrew/bin to PATH in shell profile files. When launched, Mole presents a text-based menu of cleaning and optimization options to deep clean drives. Mole provides a powerful alternative to paid Mac-cleaning apps and works well for workflows that produce large files, like video editing.
