![]() Apart from having ‘a space’ in the middle, there’s one key difference between both these apps, which makes this one better. It is a very handy tool to have and is totally free.Īlthough it sounds exactly like the previous app on our list, I can assure that “App Cleaner” is different. When you uninstall an app using this app, all the residual files are deleted along with the app itself. It is here that AppCleaner comes to our rescue. Over time, these residual files can take a lot of space. Whenever we delete an app, more often than not it leaves its residual files intact. However, the inbuilt app installer in the Mac is inefficient. We install and uninstall many apps to choose the right ones which fit our needs. One of the biggest reasons some people prefer Macs is the collection of apps available on its App Store. Mac App Store is full of incredible applications. As if it was not enough, it’s also totally free. But, if you use it correctly, it will help in freeing up space on your Mac, you didn’t even know existed. As you can access and delete the system files, there is a chance you will end up messing up your computer if you are not careful. However, there are certain problems which can occur if you are not careful with this. As I mentioned earlier, this can be the only tool you will ever need. Heck, you can even delete system fonts if you want to.

When you will click on the “Cleaning” tab, you will see the different levels at which you can perform the cleaning tasks. It has a minimal looking UI with all features getting a separate tab on the app’s launch screen. Although a bit more complex than other apps on this list, if used properly this can become the only disk cleaner app you will ever need. ![]() However, today we will focus only on its clean up capabilities. Every Mac user needs a good Mac maintenance utility, and in my opinion, MacFly Pro should be at the top of your list.Onyx from Titanium Software is a versatile tool which can help you verify your start up disk, execute hidden features, run maintenance script, automate tasks, clean up your Mac and much more. Did I mention that the utility is free? You can use MacFly Pro on multiple Macs, with no registration or activation required. In my world, that’s not a cause for major concern. The only thing MacFly Pro doesn’t do, when compared to CleanMyMac, is provide scheduled reminders. (Yes, Virginia, it will run on your latest 2018 MacBook Pro.) It runs flawlessly on even the latest macOS (High Sierra, as of this post). MacFly Pro is for Macs capable of running 10.10 (Yosemite) or higher. But it also removes duplicate files – and it’s free – compared to $40 for a single license of CleanMyMac.īut did MacFly work on my ancient Mac Pro? Absolutely. Like CleanMyMac, MacFly Pro has a clean, well thought out interface that clearly explains the tasks to be performed.

Something modern and preferably free.Įnter MacFly Pro, a totally free app that specializes in Mac maintenance and cleaning. I needed a Mac maintenance utility that would work reliably on my Mac Pro. The only way out is to force quit the application. To be clear, when CleanMyMac runs, it simply clobbers up all available RAM and beachballs. It’s a fantastic utility, to be sure, but it does not seem to run well on our Mac Pro. For my Hackintosh and Mac laptop, my go-to utility has been CleanMyMac. To insure proper operation, Macs need to be maintained. ![]() When I’m not using it as a file server, my daughter uses our Mac Pro for drawing and homework. Despite its age, this venerable “cheese grater” still gets a lot of use. My Mac Pro pushed past its 10 year anniversary in February of this year. ![]()
