Burrow brings a Mac cleaner to a simple app, with AI agent support
Burrow is a free open-source app for cleaning and checking a Mac. It gives a normal app screen to Mole CLI, which is usually used with typed commands. It also includes an MCP server for AI agents, but it is not mainly a token or cost-saving tool.
Key points
- It can clean files, uninstall apps, analyze disk use, and show live status on macOS.
- It makes Mole CLI easier for people who do not want to type commands.
- The MCP server could let AI agents run cleanup tasks through the tool.
- For AI agent builders, it is a useful example, but not a major cost-saving release.
