I've been working on a personal project I wanted to share with the community: CR - Mac Helper. It's a collection of shell scripts designed to help you manage, clean, and optimise our Macs :)
https://github.com/caioricciuti/cr-mac-helper
As a data engineer/developer, I've accumulated a ton of apps and tools on my Mac over the years, and I was tired of manual cleanup and maintenance. So, I built this to automate the process.
Here's what CR - Mac Helper can do:
App Cleanup: Thoroughly remove applications and their associated files. Path Management: Fix broken PATH entries and optimize your environment. Cache & Temp File Cleanup: Free up disk space by clearing out caches and temporary files. Login Items Management: Control startup apps to improve boot times. System Maintenance: Run maintenance scripts, verify disk permissions, and more. And more! (Battery optimization, security cleanup, system auditing...) Why I built it:
I tried existing tools, but they often lacked the specific customisation I needed. Plus, I wanted something lightweight that didn't require installing more software.
Important Notes:
Back up your system before use! While I've made efforts to ensure safety, I'm not responsible for any data loss. Some operations require sudo. The project is open-source under the MIT license. I'm looking for feedback and contributions! And if you can a little start is really appreciated :D
Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/caioricciuti/cr-mac-helper
Let me know what you think, and feel free to contribute! Any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
