About cleanmymac-cli

CleanMyMac CLI Clean developer caches, project artifacts, and disk clutter. Analyze storage and reclaim space — without leaving the Terminal. 🩷 Built and used daily by the CleanMyMac team on our own Macs🩷 Developer storage builds up across Docker, Xcode, package managers, project folders, and AI tools. CleanMyMac CLI brings those leftovers into one place, shows what can be removed, and leaves the final decision to you. 💡CleanMyMac CLI is currently in public beta. Commands and behavior may evolve as we improve the experience. Features Developer Cleanup: Clears caches, build artifacts, and system junk across common developer tools (see Commands) Artifact Purging: Removes old build artifacts using age-based selection Disk Analysis: Reports on disk usage to show what is consuming storage Interactive Review: Prompts for confirmation before deletion; protected system locations; cleanup logic shared with CleanMyMac Terminal-Based: Scriptable commands intended for command-line workflows Privacy Controls: No source code or personal files are uploaded; analytics can be disabled via configuration O

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
