I used Memory Clean 1 and 2 previously and considered rather long and hard before purchasing Memory Clean 3. I thought Memory Clean 2 was about as useful as a memory management tool could be. Nevertheless, I obtained Memory Clean 3. I am not sure that it does anything more in freeing up memory than its predecessors, but wow does it help me with application management. I usually have multiple apps open, switching back and forth between them. I often forget to close an app when I finish with it thinking that I may still use it. Memory Clean 3 reminds me that it is still open and unused (I can set the time interval). I close the app, and Memory Clean 3 returns the memory to the operating system. You say Mac OS X does that anyway. Yes, it does. But Memory Clean 3 returns much more memory than just the memory allocated to the app. While I don't know the internals of Memory Clean 3, it appears to not only return the memory allocated to the app, but also memory allocation for buffers, caches, etc. (I use Extreme Clean). Having performed these tasks, it then tells me how much memory it freed up. For comparison purposes I can check Activity Monitor versus what Memory Clean 3 says it returned to the system. (I assume Memory Clean 3 is truthful.). Two major points here. First, memory freeing is dynamic and automatic as is Mac OS X but to a greater extent. Second, I maintain a larger amount of unallocated memory at all times because I am dynamically and automatically running Extreme Clean with the closing of each app. I don't have to do anything except close the app if I'm finished with it - which I would do anyway. Incidentally, if I have multiple apps that I want to leave open all day, I am able to add them to an exception list in Memory Clean 3 thereby eliminating spurious notifications.So back to my opening sentence. Memory Clean 3 appears to be the same as Memory Clean 2 in terms of managing memory. However, the dynamic and automatic aspects as well as the reminder elements make Memory Clean 3 much superior to Memory Clean 2. If you don't have a memory management tool, please seriously consider Memory Clean 3. I believe you'll be very pleased with your purchase.

I really like my big screen iMac 27” from mid 2011. I have poor vision so the large screen allows me to see small text. But my iMac has progressively slowed down to the point where I stopped using it, because it takes a long time to just start executing a command. I tried everything to speed up my iMac to where it was when I had first purchased it in late 2012. I increased my RAM from 6 GB to 22 GB, I deleted my travel photos and freed up my hard disk memory to 885 GB available (it is a 1 TB hard drive). I have been using memory clean for about 3 years and I recently purchased the updated Memory Clean 3. I cannot say that I notice an improvement. Memory Clean 3 seem to work about the same as the free Memory Clean original version I had been using. My iMac is usable now but still slow. But I like watching David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia on a big iMac 27” screen.

I’ve used the previous iterations of this product and now am using Version 3. It simply keeps wasted RAM to a minimum and therefore keeps my Macs running at top speed. Years ago I did a project using a Mac to run a display in a museum. The Mac ran 24/7. The software we were using had a memory leak that consumed RAM and eventually crashed the Mac every few days. In the end we had to program the Mac to shutdown and restart at 3AM everynight to clear the RAM. This solved the proablem… the hard way. I’m convicted this software would have been effective for clearing the RAM which would have saved me thousands of dollars in travel and troubleshooting time! Your mileage may vary but I love this app!!

I love this app and I’ve been using it now for several years. I’m a graphic designer and videographer so RAM space is always a struggle when I’m working on a project(s). The app allows me to monitor my RAM usage while I’m working on my MAC. It lets me know what percentage of my RAM and computer is being used by what programs as well as providing a CLEAN or EXTREME CLEAN up for my memory. One of the features I appreciate also is a reminder of what applications or programs that are running and have not been used which can free up more space. This app is a gem!
