a lot of Mac Users must have heard of Mole, a free open source tool that has become very popular recently. It can clear cache, logs, browser residues, development project products and other space-consuming content. It even supports analyzing disks, removing installation residues, viewing system status, etc. It is very powerful. However, Mole is a terminal CLI. For some people, it may be uncomfortable to operate. If you feel this way, or are looking for a tool that can deeply clean your Mac, then MoreDo is a very good option.
However, I would like to remind you that MoreDo is not an official tool produced by Mole, but a GUI application packaged by the third-party developer “Yasha Series Gravity”. The current version also lacks Apple Developer ID signature and notarization, so when you use macOS for the first time, you will be prompted with “Unable to verify developer” and you need to manually allow it to be executed. If you are worried about security, it is recommended to use the original brew install mole directly.
MoreDo Free Mac Deep Cleaning Tool Introduction and Operation Tutorial
MoreDo is a free deep cleaning tool for macOS. It is based on the well-known open source project Mole, which allows users to easily free up computer space without having to understand terminal commands.
For those who have used Mac for a long time, there must be a lot of cache files, temporary data, application residues and installation files in the system, which take up a lot of space but are difficult to notice. MoreDo can easily and comprehensively scan and organize them.
MoreDo has all the functions that Mole has. Including functions such as deep cleaning, complete app removal, disk analysis and system optimization, it can effectively find out the source of space occupied and deal with it. In particular, the “Deep Clean” function can usually free up 10GB to 30GB of space at a time, which is very practical for MacBook users with limited hard drive capacity. In addition, its operation is also quite transparent. All files to be deleted will be listed first, allowing users to confirm before moving to the trash can, thus avoiding the risk of accidentally deleting important data.
In terms of privacy and security, MoreDo emphasizes that all operations are completed locally, no data will be uploaded, and there is no account or tracking mechanism.
