| 28 | **Burrow puts everything your Mac needs in one free, native app: junk cleanup, dev-artifact purge, app uninstall with leftover removal, duplicate finding, safe maintenance, disk maps, and live system status — powered by a bundled, audited open-source engine ([burrow-engine](https://github.com/caezium/burrow-engine), a fork of [Mole](https://github.com/tw93/Mole)'s `mo`), so there's nothing else to install. And it does what no other cleaner does: it keeps months of local metric history and runs a built-in MCP server, so AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can watch, query, and care for your Mac — every action consent-gated, audited, and reversible. Native on macOS, with a Windows preview under [`windows/`](windows/).** |
