For those on Monterey, the Monterey version of Onyx is now available from the developer's website. I saw it tonight, and installed.

v4.0.1 is out. It's what now downloads from the link above. "• Added option to turn on/turn off the expanded Save As dialog
• Issue corrected that sometimes prevents launching the application
• Deleting the junk items improved
• Source code improved"

Version: 4.0.0
I cannot seem to install OnyX due to an error message I keep getting that reads: "The disk needs to be repaired". ' To repair your startup disk, restart your computer while holding down Command-R, then select Disk Utility.' " I've run disk repair from within Utility, but with no success.

5 star app, been using it for many years on laptops and minis - multiple generations of hardware and OSs. Excellent software, reliable and worth running about once/week to clear caches and reset various parameters not normally done by simple restart.
Highly recommended! 5 stars - no hesitation!

Love this app. I have bought my Mac and the technician will recommend me to have this app. Great!

Version: 3.9.3
good. but may want to go to developer website for updated versions; for example here Mojave is 3.5.7 but on dev site it is 3.6.8

Version: 3.9.3
I have been using for a long time along with another paid maintenance app. When the other app started charging full price for an upgrade I dropped them and only ue this.
It is as good as it gets for its purpose.

Version: 3.9.1
For a simple interface package just wrapping a bunch of shell scripts this has some kind of unwarranted cult following by users who tend to think they are technical but are nothing of the sort. Get over yourselves.

La plus parfaite application de maintenance pour Mac. Et la plus agréable à utiliser. Merci !

Worked well, got rid of around 15-20 gbs on my computer. Highly reccomend.

Version: 3.8.5
Appears to clean my system efficiently without any visible data loss

Version: 3.8.5
I, like many others, have been using Onyx for years with no issues.
It cannot be a coincidence that the last two times I used Onyx that my 2009 Macbook has gotten hosed.
Spark, a great keyboard remapping utility has TOTALLY stopped working and requires to be totally wiped from my computer via AppCleaner.
I will definitely be looking elsewhere for something other than Onyx.
Sadly this will be the last time I deal with this app.

Version: 3.8.4
I've been using the various versions of Onyx since I don't know when.
It is always reliable. And the application itself is so small. Some other developers could learn a thing or two about keeping the size of their programmes within decent limits.
Well done, as always, Joel!

Does what it says it does. I especially like the cache cleaning and the ability to turn ON seeing hidden items.
