Already in the second version CleanMyMac was a very capable and above all efficient cleaner that took good care of your Mac. The third version adds a maintenance function to all this, and there is also a fresh user interface that fits in with OS X Yosemite.

Everything we know so far has been left in place by the MacPaw developer studio. Therefore, we can continue to perform a complete "scan" of the computer in CleanMyMac 3 and then, thanks to a single click, remove unnecessary files and libraries that we no longer need.

Not only were completely new functions added, but cleaning itself was also improved. CleanMyMac can now find all locally stored attachments in Mail that you don't usually need anymore but are taking up disk space. Likewise, CleanMyMac will also scan iTunes and delete old iOS updates or device backups. These can add up to several gigabytes as a result.

Those who use these two system applications will certainly welcome the news in CleanMyMac. If you store email attachments on the provider's servers, there is no need for them to take up disk space when you can download them at any time. Likewise, there's no need for iTunes to store discontinued updates or apps that you don't necessarily need on your computer either. You can easily remove all this thanks to CleanMyMac 3.

The completely new maintenance section makes CleanMyMac 3 a universal "cleaning" tool. Until now, it was necessary to use additional third-party applications for activities such as repairing disk permissions (most tasks can be done directly in the system), but now it is all in one. You choose the actions you want to perform, and CleanMyMac will also describe to you exactly what they are for and when it is appropriate to activate them.

For example, if Spotlight stops working for you, just reindex it. Until now, applications such as Cocktail or MainMenu were used for such actions, but they are no longer necessary. However, not everyone performs similar maintenance on their Mac, so this innovation in CleanMyMac may not appeal to everyone. But I can say from my own experience that these tools do not exist just for form, but really work.

The user can contact more privacy control. In CleanMyMac 3, you can very quickly delete browsing or download history in your browsers or delete conversations in Messages. You have complete control over what you delete, just like any other activity that CleanMyMac performs. The application will always notify you of what exactly it is deleting, and if it could be important documents, it will always ask you for confirmation in advance.

Finally, in addition to cleaning and maintenance, CleanMyMac 3 also monitors your computer's performance. In the Dashboard, you can see how your disk, operating memory, battery and processor are doing. If, for example, you use too much RAM, the disk reaches too high temperatures or the battery has reached a critical state, CleanMyMac 3 will notify you.

The third version is thus a very pleasant update, which users of the previous version can get with a 50% discount. New users also have the option to get CleanMyMac 3 right now on sale for $20 (500 crowns). You need to buy directly from the MacPaw store, you will not find the application in the Mac App Store.
