Mole 1.14.0 — macOS

It is maintained by Tw93 and runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later.

What does Mole actually clean and check?

It scans for application leftovers, cache files, logs, and other junk. It also runs system maintenance tasks with one click—things like clearing caches, running periodic scripts, and verifying disk permissions. A disk space analyzer uses tree maps to show where your storage went.

How careful is it with my files?

The app skips suspicious items when it has any doubt, and requires your confirmation before it starts cleaning. If you grant full disk access, deeper scans are available, but the app never acts without asking first.

Apps you downloaded from websites can now update inside Mole

Apps you downloaded from websites can now update inside Mole. It also identifies when a more recent build of the identical version is present. Before quitting a running app to update it, Mole asks and reopens the app after installation.

Requires macOS 14 or later, runs on ARM and Intel Macs

Mole requires macOS 14 or later. It runs on both ARM and x86 64-bit Macs, so whether you have an Apple Silicon machine or an older Intel model, it works. The app is a disk image download—drag it to your Applications folder and launch from Launchpad. It does not install background services by default. It works when you open it.

Because it requests full disk access for deep scans, macOS will prompt you to grant that permission the first time you try a deep scan. You can still run standard cleaning scans without granting full access. The app performs all scanning and cleaning on your machine; file contents and browsing history are not sent anywhere.

The interface is available in nine languages: English, German, Spanish, Italian, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, and Japanese. The default follows your system locale. You can change it inside the app.

Mole detects newer builds, asks before quitting, reopens apps

Mole detects a newer build of the same version and offers to install it. Before stopping a running app to apply the update, it asks for your permission. After the update finishes, it reopens the app automatically.

• If an update download fails or is interrupted, Mole reuses a finished download instead of fetching it again.
• This is useful if you are on a slower connection or if the app you are updating is large.
• System cleaning, disk analysis, and hardware monitoring work the same as before.

Start with a standard scan before trying full disk access

Start with a standard scan before trying full disk access. You will see a list of files and their sizes before any cleaning happens. Review the list—Mole skips anything it is unsure about, but it still pays to glance through.

If you use the disk space tree map, click around to see where large folders live. This is useful when you are running low on storage and want to find the biggest items yourself before letting the app clean them.

For the app update feature, check it once after installing. It will ask before quitting and restarting them, so you will not lose work.

Mole does not find any files to clean

If you are running a standard scan and nothing shows up, you may need to grant full disk access for deeper scanning. Go back to the scan settings and choose the deep scan option. macOS will ask for permission. Once granted, Mole can reach system-level caches and logs that are otherwise hidden.

An app update fails to install

If Mole reports that it cannot update an app, the app may be running in the background. Quit it manually and try again. Mole asks before quitting running apps, but some apps do not respond to that request. Also, if you are trying to update mole 1.13.0 or an earlier version like mole 1.12.1 or mole 1.8.0, you may be running a very old build. Download the latest disk image and install version 1.14.0 fresh.

The tree map shows odd file sizes

Disk analysis counts every file, including system snapshots and versioned backups. That is normal. If a tree map shows something unexpectedly large, check if it is in a Time Machine backup or a virtual machine folder. Those are not junk—they are intentional.

Mole does not detect installed apps for updates

The update feature targets apps downloaded from websites. If you see nothing listed, that is likely correct. Also, Mole detects only newer builds of the same version—not different applications entirely. Mole mac crack is irrelevant because Mole instead streamlines local file access for creative professionals.

• A newer build of the same version is detected.
• The app asks before quitting a running app and reopens it after installation.
