Audience
Mac users who want to review application cache storage before selecting folders to move to the Trash.
About MOLE
MOLE is a native macOS utility for reviewing and cleaning user application cache folders on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. It scans caches locally and presents folder sizes and paths so users can compare entries, search the list, and reveal locations in Finder before choosing what to clean. Scanning is available without activation; moving selected folders to the Trash requires a paid license and an online license check. Cleanup requires user selection and confirmation, and MOLE does not empty the Trash, so moved files continue to use storage until the user empties it. A personal license costs $15 once for up to two active Macs and covers the purchased version. MOLE does not provide whole-disk analysis, duplicate-file finding, or app uninstallation. Scanned cache size is an estimate, not a guarantee of recoverable space.

Nijia
Nijia helps Mac users understand disk usage and review cleanup decisions. Its five modules cover Smart Cleanup, Space Analysis, Dev Workspaces, AI Desk Tidy, and System Watch. Developers can inspect repositories, Git worktrees, build artifacts, and caches with workspace context. File organization is proposed for review. Storage checks and organization proposals run locally on the Mac without an external AI account or API key. Selected cleanup actions require review and confirmation before moving files to Trash; emptying Trash has a separate confirmation. Nijia is paid software with monthly, annual, and one-time Pro licences, each supporting up to two Macs.

Latent
Latent is a native macOS disk cleanup and storage-analysis app for developers and people who use local AI tools. It attributes storage to the apps and tools that created it, including model files, developer build artifacts, package caches, Docker data and app files, then labels items as recoverable, user-controlled or protected. Users can inspect space by owner, review memory use, uninstall apps and find near-duplicate AI images and videos by similarity. Cleanup actions are recorded for recovery: file removals can be restored from Trash, while items managed by external tools have recovery guidance. An optional built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets compatible assistants inspect scans and propose cleanup actions, which require user confirmation. Latent runs locally on macOS 14 or later; scanning is free and a license is required to remove files.

RefreshYourMac
RefreshYourMac is a macOS disk-cleanup app for people who want to understand what is using storage before removing files. It scans local storage and reports the size and source of items such as application and browser caches, logs, large and duplicate files, unused apps, Xcode build data, simulator files, package-manager caches and data left by AI coding tools. Each category is classified as Safe to Remove, Review, Move to Backup or Protected, and the app requires approval before cleaning; scheduled cleaning is limited to selected Safe to Remove categories. A menu-bar view reports available disk space, while additional tools show CPU and memory use and provide maintenance tasks and app uninstallation. Scanning is free; cleaning requires a paid licence. The app runs on macOS 15 or later and is available as a direct download, with a separate sandboxed edition in the Mac App Store.
