Mac software management trio: DeepSeek + LaunchOS + Mole
数码荔枝编辑部
Two years ago, I shared an "ultimate Mac software management solution":
App Store + Homebrew (plus Applite) + App Cleaner & Uninstaller.
Times have changed, and this setup can hardly keep up with the software ecosystem in the AI era.
Today I'd like to share my personal Mac software management setup: DeepSeek + LaunchOS + Mole. I hope it gives you some ideas.
DeepSeek [Web]
Two years ago, I recommended installing software from the App Store and Homebrew.
Because for many users, judging whether a software source is safe takes a lot of effort. The first few search engine results are often ads that piggyback on keywords, and one wrong click...
At the time, these two channels already covered the vast majority of needs.
But now, plenty of new and useful apps are not listed on the App Store or indexed by Homebrew, so relying on them alone is clearly not enough.
A more efficient approach is to tell DeepSeek or another AI what you need directly, ask it to recommend software, and provide download links from genuine channels such as the official website or LIZHI.SHOP. That saves a lot of time filtering results and helps you avoid pitfalls from unknown sources.
LaunchOS [Mac]
When you no longer want an installed app, is it enough to right-click it in Applications and choose Move to Trash?
This is a common misunderstanding among Mac users, who think this counts as a clean uninstall.
In fact, this often removes only the app itself. But after an app has been used for a while, it leaves files all over the system, which is a common reason uninstalls are not clean.
Uninstalling with LaunchOS is much simpler: open Launchpad, hold the Option key, and after the icons start to jiggle, click the ✕ button in the top-left corner to uninstall.
It automatically identifies related directories and files to help you quickly complete the uninstall and cleanup.
For LaunchOS, uninstalling is actually just a side job. Its main purpose is to restore the Launchpad everyone is used to in macOS 26 / 27.
You can quickly bring up Launchpad with a five-finger pinch, the Dock icon, or a keyboard shortcut, and freely arrange and group icons inside it.
The app also offers personalization options such as hiding the Dock, customizing the grid layout, a frosted-glass effect, and hiding app names.
If you are also not used to the app-finding method after macOS 26 and are looking for a handy Launchpad replacement, give LaunchOS a try.
The app supports macOS 26 and later. You can try it for free before buying, and you'll find it feels as smooth as a built-in system component.
You can find a genuine license for LaunchOS at LIZHI.SHOP, with lifetime use and free updates.
Mole [Mac]
Software management is certainly not just about installing, launching, and uninstalling.
To make everyday management easier, Mole is another one you shouldn't miss!
It is a deep system cleanup and optimization tool with five major functions: cache cleaning, app management, system optimization, disk analysis, and real-time status monitoring.
With Mole, we can batch update existing apps or disable unnecessary startup items with one click.
You can also check hardware usage at any time: view all the data on the main interface, or display information such as CPU, GPU, power consumption, disk usage, and network speed in the menu bar.
You can see at a glance which app is maxing out performance and slowing down the system.
On top of the five major functions, Mole recently added a dedicated AI tool cleanup and maintenance feature.
If you often batch update and try out various AI apps, you know that after leftover junk and invalid service items that start up pile up, your computer really does slow down.
Clean up with Mole regularly to keep your computer fresh and efficient over the long term.
Mole also offers lifetime use and free updates, and you can find a genuine license at LIZHI.SHOP.
It supports macOS 14 and later, and works on Intel and Apple silicon Macs.
Final thoughts
Use DeepSeek to find software or learn how to use it, LaunchOS for everyday launching and uninstalling, and Mole for performance monitoring and deep cleanup and maintenance—
That's my daily Mac software management setup! I hope it helps.
People often leave messages asking why the price and benefits for the same app differ so much across channels.
In many cases, the difference is not in the software itself but in the license source and after-sales benefits. Choosing a genuine channel with a clear, verifiable source makes long-term use easier.
