The uninstaller is a must-have but if you want to leave useless files in your mac (it won't hurt, but uses HD space). SSD speed test is great too.

The uninstaller is a must-have but if you want to leave useless files in your mac (it won't hurt, but uses HD space). SSD speed test is great too.

“I know much information given by this app is available at different places in the Finder... but to have all of them gathered in one place is so useful and easier. Plus fan speed, temperatures, etc are not easily available somewhere else. The cleaning part is well-done and risk-free. The uninstaller is a must-have but if you want to leave useless files in your mac (it won't hurt, but uses HD space). SSD speed test is great too. All-in-all a good, simple, risk-free and useful app. Pricing is correct.”

“I just love Rogue Amoeba's user interface design, it's simultaneously Rogue-Amoeba-y and yet feels standard, very idiomatically Mac-like. When an app looks cool, it just makes you want to use it.”

“I have used other apps that promise to clean your computer of junk… CleanMyMac X does a fast and efficient job of cleaning my computer and not leaving a mess for me to clean up after when it's done. It takes no more than the push of a button to perform a scan. Once it's finished, CleanMyMac X presents a report and gives the user 100% control over what is to be removed and what should stay the same.”

“This application is an outstanding tool that I use , the most convenient, reliable and safe Mac utility that I have ever come across , the only app that doesn’t automatically delete unnecessary files from system like others but let me review and delete manually to assure what I am deleting, stunning UI crafted , it let me see CPU load , login items and chases with detailed battery information, highly recommend it as similar Mac utilities all suck , I really enjoy having this tool on my Mac ”

“My primary hobby is playing video games, and I may play a game this year and then the sequel three years from now. By the time the sequel comes out, I usually forget precisely what happened in the first game, so I always write down what happens in the games I play and store them in a database (Ninox) so I can refer to them later.”

“Apple's Spotlight is to FTP what TextEdit is to an advanced word processor. I've been using FTP for several years now: it's search capabilities are unmatched and I've never had a problem with their support; once they responded only after a couple of weeks but to tell me that my problem was solved, that it would be integrated in the forthcoming update and gave me a link to its beta version. For me, FTP is a must have.”

It wasn’t totally clear in the description if I was able to do that, but I figured there was a good chance it would, and at least the other features would be useful.”
