A new version of the software that helps keep your Mac running in tip top shape. What's going on. I'm rich Demiro. This is rich on Tech. Clean my Mac is one of my essential programs for my Mac laptop. I've used some feature of the program pretty much every few days for many years now, and now they have a totally redesigned app called Clean my Mac x or ten, with a new look and feel. Plus it does even more.
We'll take a look at what's new. But first up, let me tell you what clean my Mac is all about. It's an all in one app that helps you maintain your Mac computer. It cleans up your system, protects it gets rid of old files and programs and more. And again we're discussing the inside of your system. It's not going to clean up the outside of your system. Now, if you're familiar with the program, you'll notice some speed
improvements in the new version. MacPaw, the company that makes it, says the new program is three times faster than before, and they've also added malware removal and a new and improved menu bar app.
More on all of that later.
One thing they changed that I don't like so much is the new pricing.
I'll tell you about that as well.
So the main function of clean my Mac that most people will use is the smart scan. This is a quick scan of your system that can help you identify the unnecessary files taking up space, including all the random files that programs generate, and also the stuff that you have collecting in the trash. The smart scan will also quickly scan for any threats to your system and increase the speed of your system by flushing the DNS cash
and freeing up RAM. Now, if you want to get more specific with your cleanup, there are several other scans you can do. Think of these as more deep dives. There's a scan for system junk, photo junk, mail attachments, iTunes junk, and the trash bin. One of the functions I personally use the most is the scan for large
and old files. This is really handy for finding those big files that are lurking on your hard drive taking up a ton of space, and on a laptop like mine where every gigabyte is precious.
This has been one of my favorite scans to do.
Also, Clean my Mac does not do anything automatically when it comes to important files like this.
Sure it might clear out your.
Cash and a smart scan, but if you're going to be dumping photos or big files, it will always present you with a list that you can double check and pick the items that you want gone before it gets rid of them. There's also an option to securely erase files as well, if you need a bit more protection on that level. Another feature I love is the application uninstaller Now. Macs are pretty easy when it comes to
uninstalling apps. You can drag and drop many of them right into the trash and that takes care of it.
But that's not always the case.
Sometimes these apps leave around little fragments and that can mess up your computer over time, slow it down, or just leave little things you don't want on there. Clean by Mac gives you a list of all the programs that are installed in your computer, and in one click you can get rid of the.
Ones you don't need anymore.
It will completely uninstall them, so all the little things that are usually left hanging nothing is left lingering around.
I love that feature.
The new version also sorts your apps now into categories, including thirty two bit unused apps you got from the app store and by vendor, so if you want to see all the apps that you have for Microsoft on your machine.
You can do that or Google or whatever.
This is a really great feature and I use it often since I'm always testing out new programs. I use them for a while and then I want to dump them. Also new in the app is a malware scan and removal. Now there's not a ton of malware on Max, but it can happen, and it's nice to know you're protected.
The clean my Mac program also tells you the last.
Time that the definitions and things were updated for the malware. Clean my Mac also has other stuff like an option to delete your browsing history and other privacy related traces from your online activities, including your chat history. Another feature I like is the little helper app in the Mac
menu bar. I'm always referencing this one tap and you can instantly see all kinds of crucial information about your system, including how much hard drive space you have left that when I'm always looking at pretty much every day, how much memory you have left, how much battery you have left in which apps are draining the battery most. Then there's a little icon with info about your CPU, including the current temperature and how much load is currently on it.
Then you've got a network monitor, so you can see if something's going on in your network when you're not really using your computer, and that shit be a red flag. Plus, you have an option to connect to Dropbox you can monitor how much free space you have in there. As you can see, Clean my Mac really is an all in one tool that does it all. There are more features haven't even mentioned, and to me, this is an
essential app if you work on a Mac now. Like me, I'm always doing video editing, so I'm always putting big files on my computer. That's why I'm always trying to see how much hard drive space I have left, and I'm always trying to free up those files when I no longer need them.
Clean my Mac really helps me do all that stuff.

If you're listening to the podcast after the first week, and when you go to the website you don't see a discount on the prices, I recommend downloading my favorite coupon code finder for Chrome called wikiby.
When I went to the mac.
Paul website to check out the prices for clean my Mac, it showed me ten codes to try for discounts. I will put a link to that in the show notes. And wiki by works for all kinds of websites. It's one of my favorite helpers for Chrome because literally it finds promo codes that nobody else finds.
