# Burrow (open-source desktop utility)

> Burrow is a free, open-source desktop utility for Windows and macOS. Cleanup, app management, maintenance, disk analysis, and live status in one free, open-source, native Mac app + extensive support for AI agents. It has 1,543 GitHub stars and is released under the MIT license.

Burrow is an independent open-source (MIT) app. It bundles its own engine — burrow-engine, a single source-available binary under the Functional Source License (FSL-1.1-ALv2) whose command surface is modelled on the Mole (mo) CLI by tw93 — and is not affiliated with or endorsed by mole.fit (the official Mole for Mac app by mo's author); its own name, mark, palette, and copy are original. If you like Mole and want to fund mo's development — buy mole.fit ($19).
