## Tips
2025-10-12 07:50:17 +08:00
- Safety first, if your Mac is mission-critical, wait for Mole to mature before full cleanups.
2025-10-11 23:28:20 +08:00
- Preview the cleanup by running `mo clean --dry-run` and reviewing the generated list.
2025-11-16 09:09:27 +08:00
- Use `mo clean --whitelist` to manage protected caches.
2025-10-11 23:28:20 +08:00
- Use `mo touchid` to approve sudo with Touch ID instead of typing your password.
