Memory Cleaner

It definitely increases the power of your computer at least 2 times. Let me tell my story as Memory Cleaner saved my life: I was using Photoshop, Premiere Pro and many programs simultaneously. Since my computer is a Mac Air with 8 GB RAM, I could not mount 4K video. When I saw Memory Cleaner I thought it wouldn't work, 'After all, my computer had no power. I thought, 'What can a software do?' But out of desperation, I wanted to try. The result surprised me a lot. My computer went from a weak MacBook Air to a mighty Macbook Pro. Now I bought Macbook Pro M1 and installed it again. The result is great Thank you to the developers of Memory Cleaner.

Amazing tool.

Solid. Runs in the background and automatically keeps memory in check.

A very simple and convenient application that helps to reduce the time spent searching for a problem. Constantly monitors "heavy" applications and cleans up wasted memory.

Eine sehr schöne Einfache App ohne Schnick Schnack. Funktioniert Prima und tut was sie soll. Läuft Supi mit Big Sur.

Nice app! But does NOT launch at system startup when choosing that option in the preferences under Mojave 10.14.6.

This app is extremely useful, effective and enjoyable. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro with 16 GB of RAM, and the memory regularly becomes fully or so while only using one web browser (common web pages, nothing special). I notice the situation as everything becomes super slow. This tool not only cleans the RAM, but does it automatically and for free. Plus, it provides key insights that the Apple ActivityMonitor app fails: RAM usage by app (the Apple utility provides RAM usage by process, which in the context of a browser with many tabs corresponding each to a process, is pretty useless). I was using before CleanMyMac, but it is far less convenient and super time consuming (no automation), and much less informative (no stat by app).

open Terminal window and when prompted, type "sudo purge" without the quotes. system will ask for your admin password and between 1 and 10 seconds later, your RAM will be purged - with decreases in Wired/Active/Compressed and Inactive use and an increase in Free RAM.

Recently I am using a powerful all-in-one tool to optimize and clean up my Mac , and I'd to share for you, simple clicks(https://www.imymac.com/powermymac/) to free up your Mac storage space, uninstall apps, protect your privacy, speed up your MacBook or iMac.

This is an OMG great app! It has one major advantage over similar apps...you always know how much RAM each and every one of your apps is using all of the time. Great for spotting RAM hogs and leaks. Extremely flexible for freeing up and recovering RAM so that you will likely never run out of it.

If you are running a DosDude hack on a "obsolete Mac" in High Sierra you need this little app.

this is nothing special

Let me try to offer a non-technical recommendation for installing a memory cleaner utility to your daily arsenal in general, and this application, in particular. I have read some of comments contributed here and elsewhere arguing that, as a class of software, memory cleaners are either useless under Mac OS X (because the Mac OS supposedly has a built-in memory recoup feature that make such memory cleaners redundant); or that paid-for memory cleaners are nothing but scams to take advantage of ignorance among Mac users, who are unaware that there is a Terminal command which can apparently accomplish the job. While I do not wish to undermine, challenge, or argue with the insights and conclusions made by experts with more advanced technical knowledge in this area that I currently have or desire to acquire, I do want to offer my own insights and suggestions, which are based, not on theory, but on using a few of these memory cleaner utilities over the past three months or so. In short, they work. They succeed. They help. You just have to chose the one you like. My preference is this one where I write: Memory Cleaner X. Not only is it free, which obliterates any critique that it is an attempt to extort money from unsuspecting Mac users, but it is instantly available to you—through its installation as a Menu Bar item which displays the current amount of memory available to you at any given time as a GB number in your Menu Bar. Of course, I suppose that you can probably always interrupt your current workflow and impede your productivity by opening Terminal, inquiring how much RAM is available, and then run a command (is it "Purge"?) to reclaim memory, but really, why bother go through all that DOS/UNIX stuff when you can just click on a button via the Memory Cleaner X menu item and have the utility do all that stuff for. After all, wasn't the invention of a user-friendly GUI (graphic user interface) the genius idea that put the original Mac in a class all by itself and the primary reason for its success? (Watch the movie, "Pirates of Silicon Valley" to see an excellent historical portrait of the computer industry in this regard.) And, as far as to whether such a utility as a memory cleaner is necessary and useful, I would have to argue—in contrast to those experts who claim that such software is redundant—that, yes, memory cleaners are indeed useful. Find out for yourself. I was impelled right now to share this tip, because I wanted to perform the simple task of save a web page to a PDF file (I like to save useful New York Times articles), and I encountered the colored spinning wheel. Normally, a command to File > Export as PDF occurs instantly, with no delay, but this time, the colored spinning wheel was telling me that I could not enter any further commands until the Mac sorted out what had to be done. I quickly glanced to the amount of memory available, as displayed by Memory Cleaner X, and it reported I had less than 200 MB of usable memory, down from a full complement of 8 GB. Aha! There was the problem: the Mac OS, under Yosemite, which my observations taught me is better than Mavericks in this area, has not—contrary to the experts' opinion—refreshed my available memory cache (or whatever element is being used) sufficiently or efficiently enough to provide me enough memory for a simple save to PDF to occur. When the Mac OS completed its task of exporting that web page, Memory Cleaner X reported that only about 30 MB was left. Obviously, it was time to click on its menu bar item, click on the Cleanup button inside, and force the Mac OS to give me more memory to play with. After I did so, I was rewarded with 3 GB of available memory. You figure it out! As for me, I already have. So, I have integrated Memory Cleaner X into my daily routine, and I call upon it to clean up memory several times a day. After three months or so of use, I have not encountered any problems at all.

No point for flushing the memory (unless you do some heavy graphic design work or business application testing) because modern OSX manages memory well and actually it's configured to maximuze the use of memory and fill it in with stuff based on what is required for optimum performance. The only reason to look for something like Memory Monitor is to see how much memory is used by applications vs system vs cache and what is memory pressure, which is the a better gauge to be used anyways when looking at how OSX manages memory and whether you need to upgrade or not.

If you run OSX 10.6.8 and before, (and possibly 10.7) then apps such as Free Memory Pro is most helpful.

If you have updated system, this give better view of the memory map:

unp'applicazione che non è in demo non si può acquistare, inoltre fa sospettare che non sia una buona app

Developer, Your app *may* work, but I want a demo before I shell out money for it.

This is just a GUI slapped on the DRAM ‘purge' command, and 99% of Mac users will never have legitimate cause to purge memory because 1) OS X automatically manages memory very efficiently; 2) there’s a very good reason why open applications' instructions are stored in DRAM (which is far faster than disk memory) — it makes your Mac run faster, so purging memory almost ALWAYS makes your Mac run SLOWER, not faster, as this dev would have you believe; 3) if you ever did have legitimate cause to purge memory, you don’t have to pay for a (cr)app like this to do it for you because doing it yourself is as easy as opening the Terminal and entering the command ‘purge’. This developers of this and many other free and shareware memory purging apps are exploiting your ignorance about the 3 points listed above in order to make a quick buck because, as Mark Twain said, "The problem is not that the world is too full of fools; it’s that lightning is improperly distributed."

It is a very simply app by Nektony, resembles theirs famous Funter by its realization. Run the app, press icon "Free-up memory" and enjoy results!
