Oh yeah, this app Rocks the Bomb! Onyx screwed up my system, but tweak freak didn't break anything, and it even let me turn off spotlight. What a relief!

Version 2.1

If you like Tweak Freak you should try Onyx latest version :)

Tit for tat, huh? LOL.

Version 2.0

This is a really lousy app--confusing interface, poor developer support, crashes and hangs. Try Onyx, it's far more stable and has a superior feature set.

Version 2.0

Sigh...like we really needed another one of these utilities...

Yeah, variety sucks. We don't need more than one of any application. Come to think of it, we don't need Macs, either. We should all just use the same kind of computer. It would make things so much less complicated, you know? Yep. Variety sucks. Totally.

I also do hate these "we really needed another one of these utilities?" comments. Can these people think at all?

Version 2.0

I've always had luck with this app. I use the cleaning feature to zap all of my internet browsers caches and other storage hogs in one click. I also use other shareware apps in this category as well. No complaints here, and no problems as others have listed in the previous version.

Version 2.0

Stay away - poor programming - hangs, gives an applescript error on quit. Choose something else that is more stable! Had to force quit app.

Version 1.0

Hung while doing repair permisions and update prebinding under Tiger on an iMac G5 then f---ed my finder tookbar settings. When Onyx is updated I'm going back.

Version 1.0

I do not see what all the concern is about--if you have not tried it. I have and try them all. This one actually works well and has the best browser cache cleaner of the bunch. Along with Panther Cache Cleaner, resides Tweak Freak and my Mac could not be happier.

Version 1.0

Have not installed this, but want to give a quick comment... I've learned my lesson with appearance and/or OS enhancement tools... the benefits are usually very minimal, and when they cause problems (of which they often do), the problems are big. I run everything lean...in fact, if there is an installer that's beyond the "drag to your system folder" type, and it's not Apple, I usually discard. My G4 hasn't had the SLIGHTEST bit of trouble since I started this practice, and I'm going to stick with it. Again, just a comment and not a review on this app.
