What's New
Version 2.7.6:
- Addressed an issue where Yasu would not remove user cache files that had incorrect permissions.
- Changed how Yasu logs errors so they're easier to find in the log file (at the very end now).
- When Yasu does log errors, the application will perform the final steps (restart, shut down, etc.) after user has dismissed the error notification panel.
- The Cancel button on the run panel now disables as tasks are being performed, and re-enables between tasks.
- Other small code factoring.

More often than not, a thorough purge of the cache files of a Mac will bring its behavior back into line.

if you used the unarchiver to unzip yasu, update the unarchiver to 3.1.1 legacy (not sandboxed) or unzip yasu with os x archive utility.

Perfect example, I have custom icons for several folder aliases on my desktop. Often, when I first login, those icons are blank/invisible until I move them slightly, then they appear. However, when I clean my system with Yasu, the problem seems to go away, at least for a short while.
Yasu is the solution, not the problem.

It has always been good. I keep it up to date the best I can. The recent versions close all apps when you start the tool. I'm pretty sure several versions ago this wasn't the case or at least not set by default. Not much changes, it's great to do system maintenance of the fly. Runs through all your basic scripts and never leaves any problems like various other tools can, even in the smallest way.
(NOTE: I apologize for my blatant misunderstanding a year ago. )

I've used and tested just about every possible system maintenance utility under the sun, and while I appreciate the nuclear option of full-featured apps like Onyx, and the heart-attack reducing powers of command-line scripts like AppleJack, Yasu is my number one routine maintenance utility. Yasu covers the core basics with a simple and clean interface that other utilities have yet to match. Not only do I find it invaluable in keeping my own machines running smoothly, but it's also my first choice recommendation to newbies who might end up blowing their fingers off using more complicated tools.
On a side note, I really love the standard log file that Yasu generates, detailing *exactly* what was done.
And Yasu is uncrippled shareware, meaning that you can use it and test it without any restrictions, other than a nag screen that pops up before it starts maintenance tasks. Unlike so much of the cheap junk that fills Apple's Mac and iPhone app stores, this is an inexpensive program that gives you way more value for the money.
Really, you can't go wrong with Yasu. Is it safe? Yes. Is it simple to use? Yes. Is it uncrippled shareware? Yes. Is the developer responsive? Yes. Am I related to the developer? No. :-)
