I’m going to save everyone the trouble of an overly verbose essay on why each of these apps is awesome. Instead, I’m going to highlight a few bullet points of why each of these apps is helpful. They are all available on the Setapp subscription or for individual purchases.

I’m not sponsored or paid by Setapp in any way. No affiliate links or any compensatory motivations here. I’m just a big fan of their software and their subscription model makes access super easy and the value is totally worth it (in my opinion).

“CleanMyMac is a powerful app to clean, optimize, and protect your Mac for years of use. Run instant system cleanups, uninstall and update apps, remove malware, detect and erase files of any size, boost speed, and view a detailed visualization of your storage in Space Lens. All to fine-tune your Mac.” via Setapp

I’ve been using CleanMyMac for years, paying for it yearly. Turns out, it’s part of Setapp which is awesome! It’s kept my Mac in amazing condition with all its maintenance and OS optimization features.
