Tech stack & purpose

Mole is a macOS system cleanup and optimization tool built with shell and Go components that helps power users inspect reclaimable disk space, remove known-safe application leftovers, uninstall applications safely, run maintenance tasks, and check system health from the command line. The project prioritizes safety and recoverability by routing user-facing deletions through Trash where possible, requiring dry-run capability for destructive operations, and protecting system paths and third-party application bundles from modification. Mole is designed as a terminal-first toolkit with a compact text UI for the `analyze` command, not as a general system control center or background monitoring service, and maintains strict product boundaries around what cleanup operations it will perform based on exact bundle evidence rather than heuristics or vendor prefixes.
