Mole 1.35 is here, codename Swift 🦅 The Mac cleaning tool that can free up tens of GBs in one go. 48K stars. The codename is also a small hint for what may come next. Here’s what matters: · mo clean now supports cleanup for AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and Aider. It also respects your whitelist more consistently and adds cleanup for unavailable Xcode simulators. · Scan speed is faster for common 50-500 item cleanup batches, thanks to a better path deduplication pipeline. · mo optimize now starts almost instantly, with the old 6-second startup delay removed. Disk verify is also disabled by default to avoid unnecessary sudo prompts and slow checks. · mo uninstall is safer by default. App removals now go through Trash first, with --permanent available when you really want direct deletion. A new --list flag also makes installed app inventory easier. · mo analyze and mo purge are more stable on huge directory trees, with fixes for worker pool exhaustion, better throttling, and artifact age shown during selection. There are also smaller fixes for stale Homebrew taps, Touch ID detection, launch daemon matching, deletion logging, CJK alignment, and a new mo analyse alias. Swift is not a flashy release. It is mostly about faster scans, safer cleanup, fewer hangs, and better coverage for the tools developers actually use every day. If Mole helps, I’d love your ideas on where to dig deeper for safe cleanup and more hidden junk.
