The same thing can be said about computers, but fortunately for me, I can keep my computer much cleaner than my room(anyway, don't think that I have a bunch of stuff thrown around, and spiders crawling on the wall), even though I use Windows XP for most of the time. While system cleaning for Windows is a topic that could easily fill a Bible-style book, today we're going to talk about finding a system cleaner for Mac.
Silence. Basically, that's what should be said about a system cleaner for Mac. The obvious reason is that you don't really need a system cleaner for Mac, since installing and removing apps is done simply by dragging them around, but some of them are leaving traces, although this is not happening as frequently as on the Windows platform.
Heh, it seems Synium Software wants to make some noise in this area, because they released a new version of the CleanApp system cleaner for Mac at the end of last week, bringing the current label of the application to 3.1 and adding a bunch of bug fixes and improvements.
The main features of this application include the following:
- Graphical View for Disk Usage
- CleanApp optionally shows and deletes related files when dragging an application to the trash
- Improved logging
- Exclude applications from being monitored
- Save archives to CD/DVD
Available in English, German and Dutch, CleanApp is also expected to get more languages as free updates in the near future. This system cleaner for Mac is priced at only $13(it seems there are no superstitious people at Synium Software, haha!) and requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or higher. Even more, we're talking about Universal Binary code here, which runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs, and if you're one of those who get a headache when seeing iTunes, here's the download link.
I hope you'll enjoy cleaning your Mac with CleanApp... and that you're not superstitious about $13 products! ;)
