PLEASE research this and all other so-called memory-liberating apps before you give a penny to this lying, parasitic developer. NONE of them will do anything even close to freeing your Mac’s memory (a.k.a. RAM, or Random Access Memory). Instead, they only empty the disc cache — which actually SLOWS DOWN YOUR COMPUTER because caches are there to speed it up! But because flushing the cache makes it simply LOOK like more memory is available, scumbags and other evildoers like this scavenger try to use that to get at your money.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Read all the comments here and on the MacUpdate pages of all the other bullsh1t memory-freeing apps listed above in the 'Similar Software’ section, and search Google for more info — there’s a ton of academic and other expert testimony saying that they’re all BS, but there is NOTHING that supports the claims of these wipers of other people’s bottoms.

Oh, and the Fushigi Gravity Ball is a scam too.

Now, I suspect, this (cr)app’s ulcerous developer will join the discussion to assassinate my character for telling you the truth about him….

Note everyone that the Purge command does NOT free memory. You could read the man page which specifies what it does:

purge(8) BSD System Manager's Manual purge(8)

NAME
purge -- force disk cache to be purged (flushed and emptied)

SYNOPSIS
purge

DESCRIPTION
Purge can be used to approximate initial boot conditions with a cold disk
buffer cache for performance analysis. It does not affect anonymous mem-
ory that has been allocated through malloc, vm_allocate, etc.

SEE ALSO
sync(8), malloc(3)

It may LOOK in Activity Monitor like it's freeing memory, but it's just purging the disk cache, which for many things will make them SLOWER.

This is pure snakeoil. These junk memory optimisers were all the rage on Windows several years ago, and were categorically confirmed as snakeoil by Sysinternals guru Mark Russinovich. The same critique applies to this junk on OS X.

Read the article here: http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/internals-and-architecture/the-memory-optimization-hoax

The author of iFreeMem (another of these "optimisers") once had benchmarks on his site purporting to show the benefits of this snakeoil, and when challenged, had to withdraw them as there is no objective benefit (and indeed forcing purging of inactive RAM is more harmful to VM management).

If you still want your snakeoil, http://members.cox.net/vmtx/purgememory.htm is free...

$6 are pretty expensive for just running the "purge" command you simply could type in the terminal yourself... a simple apple script would do the trick for you.

I use Purgememory all the time now - Wicked little app and recovers masses of RAM after quitting Parallels and/or Chrome. It's free, so I can't see the extra value of paying for something to do the same job, unless of course Memory Cleaner does more than that?

As always, we'd love it if developers who use the App Store would take a cue from other programmers, like Russell over at SweetP Productions (Cookie), and provide a demo which can be downloaded at the developers site, for trial, prior to purchase.

Mac developers have been doing this with their wares for some fifteen plus years, with great success I might add.

I know you guys are feeling the pinch in sales, because I have many developers confide this to me. (Many, as in over 100)

Take the hint: provide a test drive, before asking us to buy the car.

Would need some more details as to what exactly is being done here. What does the app do? Exactly??
I have iMemoryCleaner which is just $2 - while this is $6. Need to see some more details before I think about buying an app. No details here or on developer's web page, so I hope to see some details posted somewhere....

You could use atMonitor (Donationware) or the Purge command to purge memory. I believe you need to have Apple Computer Hardware Understanding Development Tools (CHUD Tools) installed for purge to work.

Apologies - iMemoryCleaner is $1 not $2 as I wrote yesterday.
I have also discovered 'purge' and it seems to do a better job than any app I have tried...
There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
