Mac Maintenance

It is a myth that Apple Macs need no maintenance because they are self-cleaning, self-optimizing, and are immune to malware. Yes, they are good, but they are even better when you perform simple maintenance tasks.

CleanMyMac X: Optimize, cleanup, protect

• CLEANUP: Free up disk space by finding and removing temporary files, caches, language and log files that are unimportant. Find and remove email attachments you no longer need. Empty all trash bins at once.
• PROTECTION: Stay safe by scanning for malware and remove it if found. Use real-time protection to guard against new malware.
• SPEED: Boost performance of the Mac by managing login items, launch agents, hung apps and heavy consumers that drag the system down.
• APPLICATIONS: Free up disk space and optimize performance by removing all traces of an app. Cleanly uninstall apps instead of dragging them to the bin. Check app versions and updates. View and remove unwanted system extensions.
• FILES: Discover what is taking up the most disk space, find large and old files, see what you can remove to free up storage.

CleanMyMac X is in the Mac App Store, which shows Apple’s confidence in it.
