Mac Cleaner CLI is a free and open-source terminal-based utility that helps users scan, identify, and remove unnecessary files from their macOS systems to reclaim storage space and keep systems tidy. Through a simple command-line interface, the tool performs deep scans to find caches, temporary files, logs, browser data, and other clutter, presenting results in an organized interactive menu where users can choose exactly what to clean. It emphasizes safety by allowing users to exclude sensitive or risky items by default, with additional flags for users who want to include broader cleanup categories. The tool supports advanced features like drilling down into specific folders, uninstalling apps along with their associated data, and performing maintenance tasks such as flushing DNS or freeing purgeable space.
