CleanMyMac 3
by Volker Weber
Every couple of weeks I clean my Macbook drive to keep the machine lean. For over a year I have relied on CleanMyMac 2. Now MacPaw, the Ukrainian company behind this program, has delivered a new version: CleanMyMac 3. It's not a free upgrade, but you can get the new version for 50% off.
CleanMyMac 3 provides a number of new features:
- Remove email attachments from your local mail folders. That's a biggie.
- Remove iTunes junk. That was very little on my Macbook.
- Run all the maintenance scripts that are scheduled for the night, when your machine may have been sleeping. You can do that manually but now you have a simple way to do it.
- Enhance your privacy be removing cookies, search history etc from all your browsers. And you can just remove the last hour, for whatever reason you would want to do that.
- Finally there are health and performance monitors for you Mac. Have not tried those yet.
If you ever just deleted your browser cache and saw how much that has improved its speed, you want to clean your Mac. Big time. And if you tried uninstalling an app you no longer need, you will find traces of it all over the place.
The best thing I can say about CleanMyMac is that version 2 never shot me in the foot. This is dangerous territory. When you let an app clean your machine, it could possibly mess it up big time. CleanMyMac has never done this. And I expect version 3 to follow suit.
Good stuff.

I totally agree. It is worths is money. I have immediately upgraded my version
Nice new features.
The Windows equivalent to Piriform's CCleaner,
the artist formerly known as CrapCleaner.
Same here. Recommended.
Just purchased! Thx for recommendation.
I can also recommend the software. The only thing that I do not like is the fact that I have to purchase more than one license if I have more than one Mac. I'd prefer having a personal license instead that works for all my Macs :-)
It seems that after activating the CleanMyMac 3 menu, Disk Utility and other SMART monitoring tools no longer recognize any drives, not even internal drives, on my Mac Pro running Mavericks. Removing the CleanMyMac 3 menu from the Login Items in System Preferences resolves the issue.
