## What is Mole
Mole is a native macOS system utility ($9 lifetime, 2 Macs per license). It replaces CleanMyMac, App Cleaner & Uninstaller, Sensei, DaisyDisk, and iStat Menus in a single binary. The underlying engine is open source (MIT) with 50K+ GitHub stars, 100+ contributors, 500+ user-suggested fixes, and 300+ merged community PRs. macOS 14+ required, supports Apple Silicon and Intel.

## Five Tools
- **Clean** (Earth): 11 cache categories (app caches, browser temp, Xcode, npm, pip, Discord, Slack, Adobe, ChatGPT, Claude, logs, .DS_Store), sorted by deletion impact, hardlink-aware sizing
- **Uninstall** (Mars): App removal with 15+ leftover categories (preferences, caches, launch agents, login items, Dock entries), one-time admin auth per session
- **Optimize** (Mercury): 22 safe maintenance tasks in one tap (rebuild Quick Look, Spotlight, font cache, Launch Services; vacuum SQLite; flush DNS; prune notifications; reset Bluetooth/network)
- **Analyze** (Jupiter): Treemap disk visualization with drill-down navigation, right-click to trash or reveal in Finder
- **Status** (Sun): Real-time CPU, memory, GPU, disk I/O, network, battery, thermals, uptime, health score; nine metrics on a bento grid with 60-second sparklines; sortable process list with click-to-pin

## CLI
The Mole CLI is free, open source, and available via `brew install mole` or curl install. It shares the same cleaning engine as the Mac app and adds terminal-only commands: `mo purge` (project build artifacts), `mo installer` (DMG/PKG/ZIP sweep), `mo touchid` (Touch ID for sudo). All destructive commands support `--dry-run`.
