CleanMyMac is designed to find unnecessary clutter in your devices and remove it quickly. Created by MacPaw, the software is designed to replace multiple optimization tools dedicated to Mac devices and combines them on a single platform. From monitoring system performance, removing malware, and tracking large files, CleanMyMac X is a reliable and efficient tool that examines the entire Mac ecosystem to optimize your device with a single click. And because it features an intelligent database, it won’t accidentally remove files either.

I love that I can run CleanMyMac X daily to check for Malware and do a Smart Scan that removes unneeded junk, determines potential threats and speeds up my computer by optimizing it.
I dislike nothing about CleanMyMac X. It has been one of the best investments to keep my Mac running tremendously, and feel more secure knowing my Mac is clean from viruses and malware.
The application uninstaller is very helpful and removes all of the random files for each application. Also, you can see which apps need to be updated and update them easily in CleanMyMac X.
My favorite thing about this software is the ability for it to direct you to the exact folder in Finder where the purgeable files are. One of the selling points for this software is its ability to simply "wash away" files that you do not need anymore. However, if you are anything like me, then you would prefer to know what you are throwing away before you do it. The free version of this software (which is what I use) takes me to the exact location of the files and allows me to review it and decide if I would rather dispose of it or keep it.
I will say that the free version of the software has very limited functionality. I would think that there would be many people who do not want to subscribe to the paid version of this software, as they would rather free up their storage for free. I look at the full version of the software and am intrigued, but it just does not seem worth it to me. Sometimes it is frustrating to click on features only to be presented with the message that I must purchase the full version.
So far, I have cleared about 20GB of space on my 256GB Hard drive on my 2017 Macbook Pro. One of my biggest problems was the "Other" storage on my laptop. The storage utility would not tell me where the files were located, so I considered downloading software that could help me navigate the finder. CleanMyMax X was the most popular option, and for good reason. I ended up deleting files from apps that I had previously deleted off my computer as well as consolidated some of the files for my existing applications. It was satisfying to watch that "Other" storage gradually decrease!
The ability to completely uninstall applications from my machine, and also clear RAM cache. When animating in After Effects, the system can often get bogged down, CleanMyMac helps eliviate these greivences.
It can often times be a resource hog, but the pros outweigh this con.
Having all system maintenance tools in one place, that would otherwise be hidden by MacOS is a huge help. It keeps the system in tiptop condition and lengthens the amount of time between installing fresh OS's.
The best thing about CleanMyMac X is that on mac as we use software like Xcode and Adobe software a lot of junk files consume memory and on mac there is no other way to clear all this data. So clean my mac is an awesome tool for this. We can also free up RAM and clear some malware too. With clean my mac there is a feature of Space lens in that the whole system is scanned and showed how much memory is consumed in which software. Also while uninstalling software sometimes junk files remain in the system., we can also uninstall software using CleanMyMac.
In this sometimes RAM consumption is shown false and that's a minor problem also when a mobile phone is connected to the same network, it shows how much battery and storage are available which is a little data privacy issue for us.
CleanMyMac X by MacPaw is an awesome tool and junk cleaning problems, also we can update software from there and find cache files and clean them all these problems can be solved using this software.
I like how modern and quick the UI is compared to the competition, and how unlike some competitors, Macpaw doesn't use it's program to advertise other services\program. The file management features have been my main reason to use this program for a while, specifically space lens which makes it really easy to map storage usage and remove old\unnecessary files. The other features are fine but that feautre got me.
The program has a tendancy to use quite a lot of CPU power while idle, which is easy to fix by turning off the health monitor feature, but it's really annoying. The applications updater also fails quite a lot and only works about 40% of the time.
I use CleanMyMac X to manage my storage devices and clear spsace when necessary. I also use it to keep my computer safe and up to date and optimize it's performance.
Easy interface, straightforward steps and do the work
on internet browser there should find a way to clean ram performance without closing the app.
Running smooth my computer (mac) without having to re start a computer
I like the fact that I can clean up accumulated garbage from web-browsing, testing, and everyday use to keep my system clean. Using Clean My Mac for several years now, I trust this to do what it is supposed to do and nothing more.
Not sure I dislike it much; the developer has done an excellent job with this set of tools. It is organized well, clear, concise, and is essential for my work.
Cleaning up garbage and applications that do not work up to my standards has allowed me to get my work done without issue for years now. This keeps the system running smoothly and allows the SSD to perform efficiently. My storage has opened up significantly since I started using this tool. If anyone asks, i strongly recommend using this application to prevent downtime and problems caused by junk, clutter and detritus from browsing the web or just using your Mac.
With CleanMyMac X, it is possible to know the status of my Mac, including monitoring the amount of used RAM, temperature, CPU usage, and used storage. Also, it is possible to take action if something is wrong. Finally, it is possible to update my apps from one place.
Sometimes it is too slow to open or consumes too many resources from my Mac. Also, there are some apps that the software indicates that needs to be updated when it is not necessary to do it.
CleanMyMac X helps me monitor the current usage of the resources available on my Mac and allows me to take action when something is functioning abnormally. Also, it allows me to update my applications in one place.
I switch between graphic design, photo editing, video, and conference calls all day long. With a single push of a button, CMMX allows me to clear up memory and make my machine run smoother and faster. Obviously clearing old files and junk from the computer is a huge bonus for me. However, I use clear memory multiple times a day and see a noticeable difference instantly.
I haven't found a negative yet personally and I have been using CleanMyMac for years now. It does exactly what it says it does and the user interface is simple and straightforward.
Keeps my computer free of junk files and also my external hard drives. My biggest use is to clear memory as needed especially after intensive projects like video editing.
Desinstala apps sin dejar rastro, libera memoria para trabajar más veloz, manten tu computadora libre de malware y virus maliciosos. En definitiva Clean my Mac es una herramienta imprescindible para mi.
Quizás eche de menos algo de automatizazción para no tener que realizar tareas de forma manual, aún que hay que decir que algunad de ellas ya se realizan de forma automática.
Clean my Mac esta ayudandome a mantener mi Mac y mi MacBook air ligero y así poder aprovechar los recursos de estos de manera optimizada. De esta manera las computadoras se aprovechan durante más años.
Everything, honestly. This software is great and Apple needs to consider having this pre-installed on their machines. The interface is smooth and userfriendly and gives you a MacOs feel.
There are very few things that I dislike. One issue that I have experienced is that the update tool sometimes misses important application updates but I guess that will be resolved shortly.
I can use it to clean my system, improve performance and save disk space by deleting unnecessary files from it. The app provides me with detailed information about the status of my computer so I can see how much space I have left in my hard drive or how many files are located there.
Not to sound like an overhyped salesperson, but this software makes using my Mac so much more enjoyable. I love that the software clears up my RAM, which allows me to unfreeze some programs or at least speed through other processes. It's also really good at helping to clean up my drives, external and internal. I love that it stays on my top bar next to my clock, and I can easily access it, especially since my computer is giving me issues. While I am not the biggest fan of purchasing software, this was worth the price.
I don't particularly appreciate that when they update the program, the interface always looks inappropriate on the computer. For example, some items don't fit on my screen, and there's no way for me to zoom out or zoom in when clicking it from my bar. Essentially, that may be the only issue I have with the software. It works wonders for my MacBook Pro and my external hard drive, so it's hard for me to see what I don't like.
I am solving the problem of work overload or lag time. Because I do so much media editing and work with my chrome browser, my computer goes into overtime and overdrive. Clean my Mac X allows me to control how much load is put on my laptop. Frequently, I need programs that are running in the background, and they use a lot of RAM. This program helps me reduce the amount of excess RAM being used and therefore keeps me efficient with my work and turnaround time. Without this program, I would dare say that I would be spending more time getting less done because of constant glitches or freezing with my device. This program is primarily keeping my RAM in check.
I have had periodic issues with my Macbook Pro's memory filling up suddenly out of nowhere, and I was having the worst time trying to figure out where this data was suddenly populating and being stored so I could address it. It was so bad at one point that I was deleting my trash daily, because my memory was completely full and I could not find what was taking up all of the storage. I finally found CleanMyMac, and I've since been a loyal customer for going on five years now. It quickly and easily found that my email was replicating calendar event caches at breakneck speed and I had the issue fixed within minutes. Now, it's always my go-to software for even a hint of a potential storage issue.
Nothing, really. The only complaint I would have is that you do not have an online web portal to log into, and that if you update to a new laptop and need to re-register your software and can't find the registration key, you have to go through this silly process on their website of filling out your email, which sends you an email where you have to click a link, and then you can get your reg key. Just give me a web portal that shows me all of my purchased and registered products all in one spot, please!
CleanMyMac X has kept me from constantly having to delete things I actually need in order to somehow scrape together more storage because I can't figure out what is in my Macbook's 'other' storage.
Uninstalling applications, Free Up Ram usage, monitoring heat and performance of the IMac.
Itself, consuming more ram compared with other applications.
Performance of iMac improved, security shield to the system. I was optimizing the hard disk.
Optimization and uninstall feature is what I use this app; It does an excellent job cleaning and freeing memory for other apps to work correctly.
I think they should offer basic options at a lower price; pay this amount for only using some of the features looks like money wasting for my team.
With Clean My Mac, I keep my old mac working relatively well until I have some spare money to upgrade. This device is getting old and is not storage upgradable, so when using the optimizer option, I think it helps to speed tasks.
Like the smart scan feature, it helps me keep thrash files clean, and I use it a lot for uninstalling apps properly on my mac. Sometimes I have to work with externals apps not installed from the apps store, so when It comes to uninstall them, you want no residues, so with Clean My Mac, I manage to be sure everything goes to trash.
There is a notification about RAM that keeps popping even when everything is running smooth. I think the developers should make some adjustments under which circumstances it became a false positive.
Sometimes I need to uninstall external apps not downloaded with the app store, as with external developers is better to make sure that nothing remains. Clean my mac is the only way I know to completely delete almost any file that apps seem to leave after the regular "drag to garbage bin" action. Also, when opening heavy resource consuming like Photoshop or Android Studio, Clean my Mac helps me to control and understand which programs I should close to keep everything smooth.
I use a lot the uninstall feature and cleaning RAM tool; it helps me to be sure to remove trash and other app's leftovers.
I want to auto-optimize my mac on a schedule; I couldn't find an option to do so. Please add this feature!
I use it mainly to uninstall apps and optimizing Mac using the recommended settings offered by default. I think you can tell the difference when you're not using it. Mac tends to get a bit slow, so I use it between 2 days to ensure everything is optimum.
I think it is the best tool out there to keep Mac clean and running smooth; also, it helps a lot to uninstall apps; when you drag the app to the trash can, it seems like it doesn't remove some files.
I think tools are expensive, and apple should include something like this with every Mac they sell; it is a shame to pay for something like this, consider the high prices for Mac nowdays.
Basically, I use it when an app isn't working as expected to get a clean start.
Beautiful, intuitive design makes clean my mac the nicest, most user friendly to keep your mac in tip-top shape.
Frankly, there isn't anything to dislike.. sometimes it takes a while to scan but I think that's on me for not using it enough. Speaking of - I'll be heading off to use it right after I finish this review, it's been a couple of weeks!
Keeps my Mac squeaky clean, also makes uninstalling software (and removed every last trace of it!) super easy.
