This app has excellent marketing campaign —however it typically does nothing but add issues to the macOS as we witness here over and over in the Apple Support Communities,— and not recommended.


If you are having issues, then state what those are for assistance.

Macs, like cats, clean themselves, and have since about 2000. Anything that claims they also need do that is a....well, I think you know the word.

They run in the wee hours of the morning with no need for your attention. They even automatically defrag your storage. Third-party apps that claim to do this interfere with those wonderful built-in functions and degrade performance and stability...if you are lucky!
