Best MacOS maintenance and monitoring utility
Perfect. Clean your computer, monitor resources of your computer and protect your files from malware.
PROSThe most impactful feature for me is maintenance. You can save tons of space using this app. It allows you to run tasks which are normally scheduled in operating system. The perfect feature is disk view, where you can easily navigate and find old and unused files to remove them. Monitoring is allowed through OS bar widget. You can view the current RAM, CPU, HDD usage, free up RAM when the performance is bad or show battery of your devices in the same Wi-Fi.
CONSIn current versions the RAM calculation is probably wrong. My computer became unresponsive having about 2GB of free ram, which was in previous version about some megabytes.

a very efficient and affordable way to keep my Mac running smoothly
It allowed me to keep my computer 'under control' when it comes to space management, duplicate files, malware, and overall system performance.
PROSCleanMyMac X does a great job cleaning up and speeding up ram and cache, finding duplicate files, and keeping your storage free of clutter (among other things). The app is intuitive, user-friendly, and self-explanatory (nothing to worry about as far as understanding what each button is for). I used not to like CleanMyMac, but the company gained my trust back after with the latest version. The developers have done a lot to improve CleanMyMac (it has so many features now), so much so that I now use the app every day, and my Mac runs faster and smoother. Since I don't have huge storage capabilities on my Mac, I like controlling my resources. For the price, CleanMyMac is a safe and efficient option. Also, compared to other solutions, CleanMyMac doesn't slow down my computer, which is a huge advantage. Featuring malware removal also makes the app valuable.
CONSI haven't found anything I am not happy with.
Reasons for switching to CleanMyMac X
none would offer the features and performances of CleanMyMac X (although CCLEANER does a great job)

When it worked the Flash DNS cache is very useful feature.
PROSEasy to use. Suppose to run all hidden disk utilities maintenance - Repair Disk Permissions, Maintenance, free up RAM. etc. Use it whenever you need to or it will prompt you to use it if you didn't run it for awhileBut it's not working anymore! And the tech support cam't make it work...
CONSUsed to be a life time purchase. Now it's a yearly subscription.Stopped working after a few updates ago. Non stop popups to enter your administrator passwords. Never can finish the cleaning. Seems to be useless now...

Essential Maintenance App for Heavy Mac Users
I’ve had a very good experience with CleanMyMac. It's easy to use, and it's one the essential apps that I stay subscribed to.
PROSAs a long-term user of CleanMyMac, I've found it to be an invaluable tool in maintaining the health and performance of my Mac. I typically use the app every six weeks, primarily utilizing the System Junk feature. With a simple click, it effortlessly removes temporary and unneeded files I don't have the time or knowledge to locate and delete manually. I particularly appreciate the app's continuous updates, ensuring it stays effective and compatible with the latest macOS. Furthermore, I've found the login item reminders incredibly useful. Informing me of the apps enabled when I reboot or log back into my computer, CleanMyMac helps me manage and reduce unnecessary processes that could slow down my Mac. CleanMyMac's feature to locate and highlight apps I haven't used in a while is another favorite of mine. This feature assists me in decluttering my hard drive, freeing up valuable space. Additionally, the app's capacity to search for and review large files has proven to be a lifesaver on numerous occasions. In all my time using CleanMyMac, I've never encountered a problem after running the cleanup tasks. This reliability, with its range of features and ease of use, makes it an app I'd highly recommend, especially for heavy Mac users like myself.
CONSWhen I click the Updater feature, it often suggests updates that have already been installed or don't exist. But I rarely use the updater feature.

CleanMyMac is a MUST for any Mac user
My experience with CleanMyMac has been a 10/10. I've never had a problem with the software and the team has a ridiculously fast response time.
PROSWhere do I even start?! The software is amazing. The team is amazing. Overall it's one of the best products out there. CleanMyMac will scan your device for any junk in seconds and make smart recommendations to you to keep your Mac running at full speed. It's incredibly easy to setup and the team behind it offers the best customer service that is very hard to beat. 10/10.
CONSNot much of a con, but wish it was more contextual in some of the recommendations it makes when it comes to deleting things off the machine.

Simply and Amazing tool
Beautiful
PROSQuite a handful of reasons why I like the application being a solution I use daily, having to be able to clear a whole lot of unnecessary data storage points taking up spaces that should be used for other things, security scanner, and the one-click update of apps are so smooth. I once had an app that wasn’t showing up as needing an update from the app store but CleanMyMac X picked it up that there's a newer version if I would like to upgrade which was indeed cool in my opinion.
CONSNothing to like less about the solution it's a sleek one.

A great way to manage your Mac
I've kept my Mac clean, optimized, and well maintained using CleanMyMac X. This is an app I never want to be without.
PROSIn addition to virus and threats, this product also helps you optimize and maintain your entire system—from clean uninstalls of programs you no longer use, to automatically updating apps, managing browser extensions, and so much more.

It has saved me from having to spend much money going to fix issues arising from over filled storage space. the tips too for saving space has been very useful
PROSThe notification aspect of it, especially when it has to do with critical storage or memory space. This has saved me a lot of headache.
CONSI would want the deep scan to be even deeper. especially reaching system files, and sorting what is useful and what is not.

Dealing with that elusive storage
Does most of what I am not able to do and keeps my Mac running more efficiently
PROSit has been a long while bother dealing with low storage space on my Mac. Most of the storage space has been taken by the system file/data and there is no easy way at least for me to clear it. I got CleanMyMacX through the Setapp account by MacPaw which is a lot of bargain and it has helped a lot in gaining back the storage space. I run Adobe applications and most tend to take create a huge cache which CMMX was able to delete. Besides cleaning the Mac, it doubles as a very effective malware removal tool. I would certainly recommend it.
CONSI am not very comfortable with apps that require a lot of access to files systems such as full disk access as I think they can be a source of compromise to data privacy and who knows what else.
Reasons for switching to CleanMyMac X

A must have piece of software for any Mac user.
Generally, I would not be without CleanMyMac. Although, to make it even better it would be good to have an anti-virus element, especially as there is a malware remover. The overall look of CleanMyMac is really good and gives you confidence that under the hood things are done well.
PROSThe main features are so valuable. Firstly the way CleanMyMac claims more space is my primary use, but cleaning the memory and daily routines are as impressive, and it is all in one application. The Malware removal is an added bonus.
CONSThe inspection of large files is a little disappointing and could be better. Yes, it shows you the larger files on your system, but I am guessing most users would have a good idea what and where they are and would deal with them accordingly. It could be better by giving more details about the file, and where there are duplicates even more details about the files would be so much more helpful.
Reason for choosing CleanMyMac X
The range of utilities and maintenance elements, was the attraction, and of course the feature to free up space.
Reasons for switching to CleanMyMac X
Moving from a PC to a Mac gave me the opportunity to look at different software and different utilities.

Worth every penny!
I've used CleanMyMac for years on both of my computers as well as others in our household. It has steadily improved over the years and is without a doubt the best program of its kind out there for Mac products. The ease of use is greatly appreciated though I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how aesthetically pleasing it is! Updates and improvements are automatic and always important. Great product!
CONSIn truth, I don't have any complaints. I used to use two other cleaners along with CleanMyMac to cover all functions but that is no longer necessary.
Reasons for switching to CleanMyMac X
CleanMyMac is infinitely more thorough, user friendly and designed with a Mac aesthetic which may not matter to everyone but it makes me feel that this was designed exclusively for my MacBook Air and iMac.

Clean My Mac
It just gives me confidence that my computers are working optimally and are also kept free from malware.
PROSI use the software to regularly clean my iMac and MacBook pro. Since I first started using CleanMy Mac, at iteration 3, I have kept both machines at optimum performance. Version X now has many extra useful features including the RAM cleaning, the software updater and uninstalling is now so simple. I like most its ease of use and clear operator interface - no special skills needed to do some complicated tasks.
CONSI cannot use it on my iPads or iPhones although I am assured it is coming. Gemini II can also be a bit intrusive.

CleanMy Mac gives peace of mind on the protection aspect and the freeing up of RAM.
PROSAs my iMac has aged over the years, the usage of RAM required has jumped for reasons unknown, with regular prompts that its 16GB is running out of space. CleanMyMacX and previous versions are a simple and effective way of removing junk and freeing up RAM without having to instal upgrades.
CONSI have no quibbles with the software and no improvements to suggest.

A seamless upgrade from the previous versions. Reputation is hard won, but once achieved it is a sparkling marketing tool.

Peace of Mind
I appreciate the peace of mind this software gives me as protection from malware or viruses. However, the hands down best feature of CleanMy Mac X is how polished this software keeps my operating system. I am consistently surprised how much junk is being emptied after running this software. It keeps my files tidy, my system smooth, and my operating speeds optimal. Beyond that, I find myself enjoying Uninstaller and feeling good about removing ALL files associated with an application. It allows me to be more bold with trying new apps to know if they are not for me, I am clearing them entirely once I decide to delete them.
CONSThe first time I opened the Large & Old Files, I was overwhelmed by how many were store on my computer. Plowing through what to keep and what to get rid of was not as intuitive as every other piece of this software.
Reasons for switching to CleanMyMac X
I read a tech review and knew this was the software for me and my Mac.

CleanMyMac X Review for 2021
CleanMyMac X runs seamlessly on my laptop. I click to have it check everything all at once. I highly recommend it.
PROSI started using this app a few years ago and in the past year upgraded to the X version. Lots of improvements in the app. It's very easy to use. You can select what you want the app to clean, or you have the app clean the complete hard drive. It tells you what you don't need, checks for inaccuracies, makes suggestions, which you can opt in or out of, and generally just clean up all the junk files on your computer. Hands down - the best app I have on my Mac that I rely on to keep my Mac up to date.
CONSIn my opinion, there is no 'con' for this software. There's nothing not to like - it's all good.

sudo powers without the sudo hassle.
Any computer over time will collect temp files, downloads, installers and a host of other system junk just from day to day use. It is nice to be able to clean all this up without having to go through directories looking for extra files or opening up a terminal.
PROSI work as a System Administrator on Windows and Linux machines. I use CleanMyMacX on my M1 Mac at home. The last thing that I want to do after patching systems and remediating vulnerabilities all day is to have to do the same thing on my personal computer. I use my home system for my creative projects which I really enjoy. I love that I can click a button and it will go through and clean up junk for me without me having to type sudo a million times to remove files etc. I love that when I use it to uninstall a program that it removes correctly and completely.
CONSI honestly don't have anything negative to say about this software.
