I built a $5.99 alternative to CleanMyMac because I was tired of paying $40/yr

    Mole looks great — I hadn't seen it before. Go is a solid choice for this kind of tool. The main differences from onClean: - Mole is free/open-source (MIT), onClean is $5.99 one-time. If free matters most, Mole wins there. - onClean's scanning engine is written in Zig with direct POSIX syscalls — different tradeoff (smaller binary, no GC pauses during large scans). - onClean has first-class support for developer-specific caches (Xcode DerivedData, nested node_modules, Cargo, CocoaPods, Docker) which tend to be the biggest space hogs for devs. - We also have a menu bar helper for scheduled cleaning and a recommendations system for stale downloads/screenshots. Honestly, the more tools in this space the better — CleanMyMac charging $40/yr for cache deletion has gone on long enough. Thanks for sharing the link.
