Best MacOS maintenance and monitoring utility

Perfect. Clean your computer, monitor resources of your computer and protect your files from malware.

PROS

The 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.

CONS

In 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.

PROS

CleanMyMac 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.

CONS

I 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)

Used to be good...

When it worked the Flash DNS cache is very useful feature.

PROS

Easy 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...

CONS

Used 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.

PROS

As 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.

CONS

When 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.
