Monolingual: Reclaim Disk Space on macOS

Remove unnecessary language resources from OS X, keep your apps intact and free up disk space with Monolingual, a free utility for macOS.

What is Monolingual?

Monolingual is a free, open source utility for macOS that allows you to remove unnecessary language resources from the operating system to recover disk space. It removes unused language files and archived installer packages that get left behind after software updates, while still keeping your apps fully functional.

Specifically, Monolingual scans your hard drive and finds language packs, dictionaries, voices, and other resources for languages you don't use. You can choose which resources to remove. It also finds old macOS installer packages that are safe to delete.

By removing unused language files, you can recover gigabytes of disk space. This helps especially for users with smaller SSD drives. Monolingual is designed to be safe - it avoids removing files that are required for your apps to work properly. It's a simple but powerful tool to slim down your macOS system.

Monolingual has an easy-to-use interface where you check or uncheck the language resources you want to delete. Once selected, it securely removes them from the system. There is an option to simulate removal first to preview how much space will be recovered.

Overall, Monolingual is an essential free utility that gives macOS users control over removing unused languages and installer packages to clean up disk space.
