10 essential macOS apps you must download
Got A New MAC?

CleanMyMac X

By MacPaw Inc.

Download from Mac App Store | requires macOS 10.10 or later

Price: Free-to-download (offers in-app purchases)

As the name suggests, the goal of CleanMyMac X is to keep your Mac uncluttered, so it always runs like a new machine. The app helps you reclaim hard drive space from unneeded caches and other system junk, uninstall unused apps, check for malware, and run optimization tools.

Designed to help your Mac run at full throttle again, CleanMyMac X chases junk in all corners of your macOS. It cleans unneeded files, such as outdated caches, broken downloads, logs, and useless localizations. With the help of this macos app, you can easily remove tons of clutter that lurks in iTunes, Mail, Photos, and even locate gigabytes of large hidden files. And, every time your Mac stalls, you get a full deck of speedup tools to rely upon, such as freeing up RAM, running maintenance scripts, managing Login Items, Launch Agents, and Hung Applications. These will lessen your system load and tune the Mac for maximum performance.

You might also like a duo of Updater and Uninstaller. The former checks for all updates, letting you update all apps and software installed on your Mac in one go, and the latter makes it easier to find and delete unwanted apps.

That's not all! CleanMyMac X lets you scan your Mac for malware or say threats that are specific to macOS; however, you can't rely only on this app to keep your Mac protected from all kinds of vulnerabilities. Summing up, CleanMyMac X is the most user-friendly problem fixer for your Mac.

CleanShot x

Download from cleanshot.com | requires macOS 10.12 or later
