![]() Unfortunately, Apple charges a fortune for extra RAM or storage and most modern Macs can’t be upgraded by the user. A trifling 250GB of SSD is barely enough storage for even a light user. ![]() Verdict: MacCleaner Pro 2 is a competent utility for all Mac owners and is very useful for anyone with a Mac that has one of the inadequate-sized SSD drives that Apple still fits to many of its base models. Funter can also be used to make all files that are normally invisible in the System Folder, show up in the macOS Finder like normal visible files. If you know the name of the file that’s normally hidden, Funter will find it for you. Funter can also search for invisible files. The Funter function works alongside Memory Cleaner and essentially makes any invisible files visible. I certainly haven’t seen any RAM warning messages since I started using it.ĭuplicate File Finder Pro is an easy way to see which files on your Mac exist in more than one form. Keeping the RAM freed-up does seem to speed things up. I have an 8GB iMac and with Memory Cleaner running it’s possible to keep RAM usage down to around 40% for most of the time. The Memory Cleaner function can run in the background and constantly monitors RAM usage, offloading anything that’s hogging memory but isn’t needed. There are two functions here called Memory Cleaner and Funter. ![]() The final section of MacCleaner Pro 2 is called Helpers. This is the place to get on top of overall disk usage and helps to weed out unwanted files and bloatware. There’s also a function that can sort the biggest files on the disk as well as files on cloud storage accounts. It can also winkle out hidden files clogging up the drive. This analyzes what is stored on a Mac’s hard drive or SSD and finds the largest files and folders that are hogging the lion’s share of the space. The final PRO Tool is called Analyze Disk Usage. and is a much better way of installing apps than dragging software to the Trash. The App Cleaner and Uninstaller PRO function properly removes applications and all associated files. It’s even possible to drag an application to the Uninstall Applications window and the software will then go off an find everything that needs to be removed. Uninstall Applications ferrets out those hidden installation files and removes them, along with the main application, ensuring the Mac is stripped clean of the last traces of any piece of unwanted software. However, that method can leave lots of orphaned files and extensions on the system that were originally placed there when the program was initially installed. Other people remove unwanted software simply by dragging the main app icon to the Trash. Some people claim you don’t need an uninstall utility to jettison unwanted apps as you can simply remove it by using LaunchPad and all the hard work is done by macOS. The second PRO Tool is called Uninstall Applications. This tool can free up a surprising amount of wasted space. It also shows, at a glance, how much space is taken up by categories like Archives, Documents, Movies, Pictures and has a dedicated section that shows identical files that may have been duplicated in error. This is a great way of finding image files, sounds files and any other data that may be doubled up on the Mac. The first function in PRO Tools is called Find Duplicate Files. The second section of MacCleaner Pro 2 is called PRO Tools and it’s a great place for people with a bit more knowledge of how macOS works.
