Miotła

What it does

Fast, safe and visible.

📊

Free space in the bar

Always see how much is left. The number turns orange below 40 GB and red below 20 GB.

⚡

Quick cleanup

One click clears fully regenerable caches (an allow-list). No questions, works in the background too.

🗂️

Full cleanup in a window

Per-item checkboxes: specific emulators, Archives, old versions. Pick exactly what to remove.

👀

Preview first, always

The “what would be removed” mode shows everything without deleting a thing.

🧹

Animated broom

The icon sweeps in the bar while a cleanup runs. A small thing, but a nice one.

🔑

System items

Time Machine snapshots and sleepimage — also from the window, with a native admin password prompt.

What Miotła never touches

It deletes only inside your home folder. It never touches your data.

Browsers
Brave, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Arc, Edge — profiles and data stay.

Messengers
Signal, WhatsApp and their databases are off-limits.

Program configuration
Settings, sign-ins and credentials of your tools and apps are left untouched.

Your work
Documents, source code and project files are never removed.

Install

Via Homebrew or from source.

Homebrew (recommended)

brew install rafalgawlik/tap/miotla
brew services start miotla

The app appears in the menu bar and starts on login.

From source

git clone https://github.com/rafalgawlik/miotla
cd miotla/app
./install-app.sh   # builds Miotła.app, starts on login

Builds a real app you can launch from the Dock, Launchpad and Spotlight. Needs Python 3 (macOS). The bin/miotla script also works on its own from the command line.

Grant the app Full Disk Access (System Settings → Privacy & Security) so it can see the Trash and app caches.
