A beautiful terminal app that clears the junk, frees your RAM, speeds things up — and lets you chat with a local AI about your Mac. No cloud. No accounts. 100% on your machine.
npm install -g @vindepemarte/thecleaner-pro
See it in action
Pick a tool and watch what it does. (This is a friendly demo — the real app is even nicer.)
Everything inside
Simple to use, safe by default, powerful when you want it.
Finds caches, logs, Xcode & simulator junk, npm/pnpm/Homebrew leftovers and Trash. Shows the size of each, you pick what goes. It only ever empties known junk folders — never your documents.
Lists your biggest memory hogs and spots forgotten dev servers (node, python, docker…) plus the ports they're holding. Select the ones to stop — gentle first, firm if they resist.
One-tap boosters: purge inactive RAM, flush DNS, restart Dock/Finder, Homebrew cleanup, empty Trash, reset QuickLook previews.
Chat with an Ollama model that can see a live snapshot of your RAM, disk and processes. Missing Ollama? It installs it for you. Not running? It starts it.
Choose Ask mode (it double-checks before anything risky) or Full mode (no extra prompts). Saved to your config, switch anytime.
Checks npm on launch and offers a one-key update — so you're always on the latest and greatest.
Safety, your way
theCleaner-pro never locks you out of power. It just asks how much hand-holding you want.
Up & running in seconds
One npm command and the thecleaner-pro command is ready.

Clean, free RAM, optimize, or ask the AI. Arrow keys + Enter.
Reclaim space and memory — all without leaving your terminal.
