I’m not sure about that, but I will say it’s one of the better ways to monitor how your Mac’s memory is being used, how much free memory is still available, and which apps are hogging your Mac’s RAM. Memory Clean 2 from FIPLAB (basic version is free) is described as the ultimate app for optimizing your Mac’s memory. (Memory Clean can tell you how your RAM is being used, and which apps are gorging on memory it can also free up RAM space with just a click.)
Yet…there it is in my menu bar: Memory Clean, my favorite memory cleaning app. While there’s some truth to that point of view, most of the time you’re better off letting your Mac take care of memory management, something it’s very good at it. They can do more harm than good by clearing out inactive memory that may be used again by an app or service.” While utilities come and go on my Mac, these five seem to always have a home they provide just the features I need to make using my Mac easier.
How is that possible? Because I sometimes forget which ones I’ve already tried, and I end up taking a new version of an old utility for a spin. I’ve probably deleted more utilities than have been created for the Mac. Speaking from personal experience, downloading and trying out new Mac utilities can quickly become an addiction.
