Pros Helps monitor tasks and very good for cleaning temp files and also organizing files. It also monitors memory usage and notify you when the memory is getting full or there are large unused files on the hard drive and helps cleaning these keeping the computer up in performance. Cons It does have a large memory allocation and usage, actually one of the highest so it does take up a lot of memory from your computer Review Source Christian I.

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.

You can set it and forget it and it will let you know about updates, remind you to clean your Mac, and more. Pros It has an intuitive design that makes using it a delight. It's easy to find what you need to do, the reminders are super helpful and not intrusive, and it makes staying on top of your software updates a snap!

July 29, 2021 5.0 Pros 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!

Nella versione X già in circolazione da alcuni anni , ho apprezzato molto i miglioramenti dell'interfaccia utente. Pros Facilità di installazione ed opportunità di provare anche una versione gratuita sufficientemente completa. Per una manutenzione totale e minuziosa ed una protezione aggiuntiva dai malware in tempo reale ho preferito prendere una licenza annuale ad un ottimo prezzo.

Principal Manager, Cyber Security TP Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I never got the result I expected." November 1, 2022 3.0 Pros With Cleanmymac, we have been trying to protect my favorite macbook and make it more well-maintained for 2 years, but unfortunately things do not progress as easily in macOS as in Windows. Because the macOS operating system has closed source codes and cleanmymac can't do anything without administrator permission, even if it tries as much as it wants. Cons I didn't really see the expected impact of Cleanmymac on device performance. I have to be frank, the only thing that impressed me was that we could adjust the fan speed, but unfortunately none of its other features really work. Review Source NW Neil W.

Pros I 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. Cons I cannot use it on my iPads or iPhones although I am assured it is coming.
