Which Mac apps should I test next? / 想让 Mole 继续测试哪些软件？

[tw93]

I've been installing Mac apps one by one, checking their update feeds and startup items, uninstalling them, and looking for what they leave behind. Some findings become shared cleanup rules; others need a path specific to that app. Just as useful are the files I learn to leave alone.

I started with 100 apps, then kept going. I'd like your help choosing what to test next for Mole Mac.

Please leave a comment with:

• App name and official download link
• Where you installed it from: the website, Mac App Store, Homebrew, or another channel
• What needs attention, if anything: leftover files, an update Mole misses, or a startup item you cannot manage

A simple app suggestion is welcome too. If someone has already mentioned it, add a reaction or share your experience in their thread. Please keep license keys, account details, and private file contents out of comments.

I'll use this thread to choose future batches. Testing an app also means checking what should stay, not just finding more things to delete.

最近我在给 Mole 做一件有点笨的事情：把 Mac 软件一个个装上，检查更新和自启动，再卸掉，看看留下了什么。有些发现可以补成通用规则，有些只能给这个软件单独处理，还有些文件查过才知道，本来就不该动。

原本只打算测 100 个，后来越测越多，想在这里收集一下大家希望继续补充的软件。

评论里告诉我这几件事就好：

• 软件名字、官网下载地址
• 安装来源：官网、Mac App Store、Homebrew，或者其他渠道
• 碰到的问题（如果有）：卸载后还有残留、检测不到更新、自启动无法管理等

单纯推荐一款常用软件也可以，已经有人提过的，可以给那条评论点个赞，或者在下面补充你的情况。不要贴激活码、账号信息和私人文件内容。

我会参考这里的反馈继续测下去，能清掉的查清楚，该留下的也留下。

[smoosex]

作者你好，曾经卸载过的这些软件能检测出残留吗

[tw93]

@smoosex，会有的，已经卸载的残留会被 clean 这个功能给清理掉，然后假如你发现有没有清理的，欢迎告诉你，可以使用 https://mole.fit/releases preview 包来测试

[shadyuwugurl]

sorry English speaker here

maybe try to find a way to uninstall/remove the default installed apple/Mac oem apps that nobody uses (stocks books dictionary etc)

and hidden the hidden files and folders

(the weird folders and files that start with .cache or .local or .config (some of that may be needed some might not be idk)

[jiayouzl]

微信开发者工具https://developers.weixin.qq.com/miniprogram/dev/devtools/log.html#stable-2.02.2608070
UU远控https://uuyc.163.com

[tw93]

@jiayouzl 感谢推荐，微信开发者工具应该已经在里面来，不过用户数据会默认不勾选，可以用最新的preview包 https://mole.fit/releases 选择数据也一起清理，然后UU远程感谢推荐我也在用，最近会把这个也测试加进去

[cavemanlee]

软件名字: Comfy Desktop
安装来源：https://comfy.org/download
碰到的问题：不好确定是否有残留

[tw93]

@cavemanlee 感谢啊，Comfy Desktop 我看已经在测试类目，你可以去搜索看看，以及使用preview包去测试看看

[yizhimuzhuozi]

Adobe 系列

• Photoshop
• illustrator
• Lightroom
• Bridge
• Premiere Pro
• After Effects
• InDesign

[tw93]

@yizhimuzhuozi 感谢感谢，Photoshop、Illustrator、Lightroom 会整，等我下一期就给加上，这一块会更加麻烦，整个 Adobe 文件夹是好几只软件共用的，我看看怎么做。

[yizhimuzhuozi]

确实，安装一个Photoshop就会在本地拉很多文件。

[xuziyang]

flclash 、tabbit 浏览器、otty

[tw93]

@xuziyang 谢谢反馈，Clash Verge、ClashX、Clash Party 都全部在测试里面，FlClash 、Tabbit等我放到下一轮去，代理类的系统服务也不会自动删，然后 Otty 的配置目录卸载时会单独列出来、默认不勾，不过你可以用preview包测试，会有一个连同数据一起清理的能力 https://mole.fit/releases

[playzuu2026-create]

软件名称：Linkly AI
网址：https://linkly.ai/
可在官网直接下载，AI Agent 的上下文管理工具和知识底座

[tw93]

@playzuu2026-create 感谢推荐，Linkly AI 我会放到下一轮

[cutiechi]

PowerPhotos: https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos

[tw93]

@cutiechi 感谢推荐，PowerPhotos 我会放到下一轮

[huangkairan]

orca

[tw93]

@huangkairan 谢谢推荐，我测的是 stablyai 出的 Orca 这款 AI 编程工具，卸载时除了 app 本身，~/.orca 里那份 agent hook 脚本也会一起列出来。它首启时往 Claude Code、Codex 这些工具的配置里写的 hook 带了存在性判断，app 删掉后不会报错，Mole 不改别家的配置文件，想清干净可以自己删掉那几行。

如果你说的是另一个同名软件，回我一下官网地址就好。想先试的话可以装最新的预览包 https://mole.fit/Mole-preview.dmg ，有没清干净的地方直接在这里说。

[wan-kong]

Expo Orbit: https://expo.dev/orbit
Rockxy: https://github.com/RockxyApp/Rockxy
dbx: https://github.com/t8y2/dbx
MacDroid: https://www.macdroid.app/

[tw93]

@wan-kong 感谢这四个推荐，Expo Orbit、Rockxy、dbx、MacDroid 都已经装上测过一轮，卸载后的残留都能清掉，不过 Rockxy 的 helper 和证书我这边首启时没有开启，这部分还没测到。

这些改动都在最新的预览包里，可以下载 https://mole.fit/Mole-preview.dmg 试试，你那边要是装过 Rockxy 的 helper 或信任过它的证书，卸完之后还剩什么，欢迎在这里补一句。

[josephmonkey]

tabbit浏览器可以支持下。这个浏览器，会在本地写一个如何调用它的skill，感觉这个也可以成为后续的评估维度。

[tw93]

@josephmonkey 这个角度很好，Tabbit 已经排在下一期，测的时候我会专门看它写的那份 skill 落在哪里。要是写进了 ~/.claude、~/.codex 这类 AI 工具的目录，Mole 只会认它自己那一份，不会把整个 AI 工具目录当成残留。

测完会更新到 https://mole.fit/tested-apps ，到时候你可以用预览包直接试一下。

[jiayouzl]

这个软件是之前一个博主推荐的，他推荐的时候再菜单栏里，是有推出所有外接磁盘功能的，我看了下新版这个功能反而没了是吧？还是移动位子了？

[tw93]

还有的，在菜单栏面板里面有的

@tw93 :
Still missing: FileZilla

• PhotoCraft
• VectorCraft
• FilmCraft
• LightCraft
• PrintCraft
• EffectCraft

[tw93]

@Angelk90 Thanks for following up. I've now installed, tested and uninstalled FileZilla and all six ArtCraft apps you listed. Mole Mac Preview 308 includes the FileZilla configuration-folder fix; saved sites remain unchecked until you choose to remove them.

I also owe you a clarification on my earlier reply: this testing and change are for the Mac app, not the CLI installed by your shell command. You can try the Mac app Preview 308 here. I expect the stable version in the next few days.

[Angelk90]

@tw93 :
I only use the CLI version.

Here is a list of other programs:

• ArtCraft
• ArtCraft Launcher
• CADCraft
• DeckCraft
• DesignCraft
• GridCraft
• PdfCraft
• SoundCraft
• WordCraft

[tw93]

@Angelk90 Thanks for clarifying that you use the CLI. Its uninstall preview finds standard app-name and bundle-ID directories, but complete removal of these nine apps has not been verified. The Mac app tests do not establish CLI coverage.

ArtCraft also stores assets and credentials in ~/Artcraft; that directory stays outside automatic uninstall. Custom data locations and separately installed command-line tools need their own ownership checks. FileZilla's default ~/.config/filezilla is found by the current CLI on a standard case-insensitive macOS volume; a custom configuration location is a separate case.

Run mo update, then mo uninstall --dry-run "FileZilla" to review its paths without deleting anything. If something is missing, reply with mo --version and the missing path with personal details removed. For any of the nine new apps, use its installed app name in the same dry-run command.

[Angelk90]

@tw93 :

• Oleafly

Look: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/299291/changes

Will this also be added if I run the standard CLI from the terminal?

[goodjack]

Cmux, from homebrew

[tw93]

@goodjack cmux is already tested with the same build Homebrew installs, and its ~/.cmuxterm and ~/.config/cmux folders now show up in the uninstall review alongside the app.

That coverage is in the current Preview, https://mole.fit/Mole-preview.dmg. If anything from cmux is still left behind after an uninstall, let me know here.

@sooyaaabo 谢谢这么长一份清单，Dia、Otty、Vorssaint 和夸克已经测过，可以装最新的预览包 https://mole.fit/Mole-preview.dmg 直接试，Otty 的配置目录会单独列出来、默认不勾。

PommeToys、MangoDisk、CaskHub、Codex++、AirCard、SPlayer、StreamCap 和夸克网盘放进下一期。StreamCap 录下来的视频是你自己的文件，测的时候只会列出来让你选，不会默认勾上；Codex++ 是给 Codex 桌面版用的增强工具，我会分清哪些文件是它的、哪些是 Codex 自己的，不会连 Codex 的数据一起删。

[sdir]

autodesk-fusion

[tw93]

@sdir Thanks for suggesting Fusion. I've now installed it and tested Autodesk's official uninstall process, with the results in the Fusion guide.

Fusion should still be removed with Autodesk's uninstaller. I haven't yet verified Mole's old-version cleanup with two Fusion versions installed. You can try the current Mole Mac Preview 308; I expect the stable version in the next few days.

[pipuwong]

CodexBar

[tw93]

@pipuwong Thanks for suggesting CodexBar. I've now tested its update detection, running processes and uninstall behavior, and added the test details.

The app and its regular data were removed in the test, but two shared App Group folders were retained because their ownership could not be confirmed. This is not a complete-removal claim. You can try Mole Mac Preview 308; I expect the stable version in the next few days.

[pankajpopli]

AnyConnect VPN app.

At present it says, use the uninstaller that comes along with the app, but more recent versions of the app which are mainly downloaded from the Mac App Store, do not come with an uninstaller. It also requires uninstalling LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons and other login items and configuration files etc.

[tw93]

@pankajpopli Thanks for raising the missing-uninstaller case. I am leaving Cisco client removal outside Mole's direct uninstall support because I have not verified a safe way to remove its VPN services and configuration across the native Mac and App Store versions.

For the native Mac client, follow Cisco's removal guide. If your copy came from the App Store or your organisation, use Cisco support or your IT administrator to confirm the removal method for that edition. Mole will keep its Cisco restriction, and this request is not planned.

想申请补充测试和适配 小米 MiMo 桌面版（Xiaomi MiMo）及其 MiMo Code 引擎的卸载残留。

• 官网：https://mimo.xiaomi.com/coder
• 官方仓库：https://github.com/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code （README 中也有桌面版介绍及入口）

今天在一台 Apple Silicon Mac 上，使用最新的 Mole App 卸载 MiMo 后，仍发现以下残留。卸载后的只读排查确认：常见应用目录已找不到 MiMo 主应用，PATH 中也没有 mimo / mimocode 命令，没有发现正在运行的 MiMo 进程：

路径	本机占用	观察到的内容
~/.config/mimocode	57 MB	配置、node_modules
~/.local/share/mimocode	9.5 MB	数据库、日志、存储、快照
~/.cache/mimocode	8.6 MB	缓存、辅助工具
~/Library/Application Support/MiMo Automation	215 MB	自动化运行环境、MiMo Browser Use.app
~/Library/Application Support/Xiaomi MiMo	683 MB	应用数据、浏览器存储、内置 LibreOffice 运行环境

这部分约 977 MiB。Chrome 和 Edge 也都留有浏览器原生通信配置：

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.xiaomi.mimo.browser.json
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge/NativeMessagingHosts/com.xiaomi.mimo.browser.json

希望后续能测试这些路径的归属，以及在主应用已经移除后，能否将它们识别为残留并提供清理选项。需要特别区分：

1. ~/XiaomiMiMoProjects 可能包含用户项目，建议默认保留，不作为普通缓存自动删除。
2. 配置、数据库、会话历史、登录数据建议单独列出，默认不勾选，让用户明确选择。
3. 若独立 MiMo Code CLI 或其他 MiMo 组件仍在使用，相关共享目录不应仅因桌面主应用不在就直接清理。
4. 浏览器集成只识别 MiMo 自己的 manifest，不处理整个浏览器目录；内置 LibreOffice 也要与独立安装的 LibreOffice 区分。

说明：以上是使用最新 Mole App 卸载后，在本机实际检查到的残留；未记录具体版本号，也未确认是否属于预览通道。没有读取或公开凭据、数据库内容。希望作者能将 MiMo 加入后续测试批次，补充这些路径的识别和清理适配，谢谢！

[tw93]

@jonymei 谢谢反馈，MiMo 的默认配置、数据、缓存、state 目录和精确的浏览器集成文件已经补进 Mole Mac 1.16.0 正式版，卸载时会列入审查，共享数据默认不勾选。

独立 MiMo Code、其他桌面版本或相关进程仍在使用时会保留共享数据，~/XiaomiMiMoProjects、自定义数据目录和独立 LibreOffice 不随卸载删除。主应用已经移除时，可在清理页查看卸载残留，Mole 有卸载记录且数据未再写入的会保留 24 小时，没有记录的按 15 天未写入判断，因此不会刚卸载就自动清掉。

可以更新并重新打开 Mole Mac 1.16.0 后查看，如果仍有未列出的路径，在这里补充当前版本和路径即可，不用公开配置或数据库内容。

好的软件重合下载了, 比如opencode 通过 homebrew 下载了一次, 又通过 npm 下载了一次, 最后重合了, 其实要卸载其中一个.
这种情况能不能帮分析出来.

还有一些情况是 mvm 切换 npm 版本的原因, 很多软件其实在不同的 npm 版本下冗余下载了.

Could you include Kilobat? I’m the developer: https://kilobat.app. It bundles agent network tracking, keep-awake, hotspot controls and diagnostics in one Mac menu-bar app, with a free open-source CLI + MCP. The app comes from the website; the CLI is on Homebrew. Its network filter and launch-at-login would be useful cases for your uninstall tests.
