Disk Cleaner - Free HD Space 4+

I didn’t buy a PC laptop to do what I do simply because they don’t make one. My MacBook Pro was a sizable investment, and it works flawlessly with the aps i use daily. Pro-Tools, Illistrator, Premier,After FX, PhotoShop, you get the idea. These applications arent made to run well on Entree Level machines, they just don’t. Even a top of the line Mac will eventually dog down to the speed of a Surface if you don’t stay on top of memory and disk health. So any audio/video pro will tell you, your computer is your life blood, if it chokes out on you while processing 3 sec of content because you didn’t have your memory clean, or disk optimized, it’s not the computers fault it’s yours. This ap does a great job at keeping proformance levels optimum, gives you the sight into hidden little files that were snuck into areas you wouldn’t normally look, and gives you the ability to delete them before they cause problems. I also like having a way to end process’s that have hung up without having to re-start my whole computer. So in conclusion, this ap does what it says it does, and it does it all pretty well. Your still going to need to buy a few other tools to truly stay up on performance of your box, but this one is a must.

I purchased this application on sale for 5.99$ a few months ago, which I use on a 2015 Macbook air, as well as both a 2009 and 2016 Mac mini. I usually use this tool once or twice a week, and each time I would estimate I reclaim upwards of a gigabyte of space. I would definitely recommend the app to my friends and family, because it is very user friendly and it helps you mindlessly reclaim a lot of otherwise wasted space on your Mac. Before the app erases your junk files it does a scan and presents certain areas which over time typically get congested with random BS, such as downloads, trash, caches etc. After that you uncheck any which do not need to be cleaned, and finish by just clicking “Clean.”

I picked this up for 99 cents and it was truly a bargain for how efficient this app is. I’m sure there are tons of others that can do a similar or even more thorough job, but for the needs of most people this is just perfect. Very clean GUI. Simple selection of what you want to delete and very accurate. Will not touch anything that can make any program or the OS unstable. In short this is a must have. Some people will say that crap cleaners are useless and that every modern OS takes care of this but I’m old school and believe in keeping my machines clean either manually or with the aid of an app. If you buy just one app from the App Store, this should definitely be at the top of the list.
