Sensei

I know much information given by this app is available at different places in the Finder... but to have all of them gathered in one place is so useful and easier. Plus fan speed, temperatures, etc are not easily available somewhere else. The cleaning part is well-done and risk-free. The uninstaller is a must-have but if you want to leave useless files in your mac (it won't hurt, but uses HD space). SSD speed test is great too. All-in-all a good, simple, risk-free and useful app. Pricing is correct.

Let's see: I left a review on 7/20/20 noting that there were 35 other similar "cleaner" apps in addition to Sensei, and that no one who knows Macs recommends of any of them. Fast forward six months or so and much has changed: there are now 75 (yep, that's SEVENTY-FIVE) cleaner apps on MacUpdate that no one recommends. I find the review by "ahmedhatata-ah" on 8/12/20 both amusing and truthful, when he writes, "similar Mac utilities all suck." If Sensei is a "similar Mac utility" it must suck too -- right? (Or am I missing something subtle here?) No matter. The developer, Oskar Groth of Sweden, looks to be a nice chap. I really hope he can turn his talents to something more useful than Sensei. It has to be hard to be in competition with 75 other "me too" products that no Mac user needs. For example, while the "Dashboard" in Sensei looks pretty, the information it contains is readily available either in the System Information or Activity Monitor apps. What's the point? As a courtesy to Mr Groth (assuming he's a real guy -- you never know about these things, and who trusts a website these days?) I'm going to give 3 stars here. It's not 3 stars for Sensei. It's three stars given in the hope that he can come up with a more useful app in the future, to which I can gladly award 5 stars. I look forward to seeing it, sir. -SB

Bullshit App

This app has an annoying shortcomin regarding volume names/labels... it doesn't use them! My iMac has two external SSDs attached, both Samsung EVO enclosed in Transcend cases, but with different Volume names so they are easily identifiable in Finder. Sensei insists on referring to both with the device same which is 'Transcend' in both cases making the two drives indistinguishable. Likewise I have two external HDDs in a 2-bay TerraMaster external enclosure configured in 'Single' mode each HDD having it's own unique volume name (and Mount point). Again, Sensei insists on referring to both simply as 'TerraMaster' meaning I can't tell from the name which is which. Doesn't appear to be any way to change what the Dashboard displays which limits the appeal of this software.

This application is an outstanding tool that I use , the most convenient, reliable and safe Mac utility that I have ever come across , the only app that doesn’t automatically delete unnecessary files from system like others but let me review and delete manually to assure what I am deleting, stunning UI crafted , it let me see CPU load , login items and chases with detailed battery information, highly recommend it as similar Mac utilities all suck , I really enjoy having this tool on my Mac 

This is not a review per se, it is a discussion of the class of software to which this program belongs. As a public service to the MacUpdate community, I've found as many of these "cleaner" apps on this website as I could and listed them them below. (I did a search for 'cleaner'.) If MacUpdate will let me, I intend to post this every time a new or updated version of one of these things shows up on this site. There are 35 in the list, and it seems like new entries in the 'Mac cleaner' market space pop up every day, metastasizing like a cancer. Unfortunately, more is not better. They are all of dubious value. Many have no reviews at all. Many have what look to be essentially fake 5-star reviews with no useful commentary. Many -- probably the most accurate and honest -- have negative reviews, by users who have been burned by them. Most of the developers' descriptions boast about what a great job they do, but the truth is, there are no good, comprehensive, head-to-head reviews of these programs by impartial 3rd parties. True experts in macOS maintenance advise against using any of them, because in general they serve little useful purpose and they can easily do more harm than good. Macs simply do not need "cleaning." (See for example: https://www.thesafemac.com/the-myth-of-the-dirty-mac/) Some of these programs are notorious for being little more than malware. The user is well-advised to read any program documentation and make a RELIABLE BACKUP before attempting any changes. If I have missed any programs that should be on the list, please leave a comment and let me know. I will rate all these programs with one star, probably one more than they deserve. And I would appreciate comments. If you disagree, please speak up. But if all you can come up with is 5 stars and a sentence or two saying that program X is great and I don't know what I'm talking about, please save your breath. No one here will take you seriously. And I apologize for the almost unreadable formatting, a severe limitation of MacUpdate itself, which compresses maximum text into minimum space, leaving no whitespace for readability. :: BEGIN LIST: : Aooro : App Cleaner & Uninstaller : AutoTrash : AweCleaner : CleanGeeker : Clean Me : Cleaner One Pro : CleanMyMac X : Combo Cleaner : Disk Aid : Disk Cleaner : Disk Cleaner Pro : Disk Health : DiskKeeper Advanced Cleaner : DiskKeeper Cleaner - Modern : DiskKeeper Pro : Doctor Disk Cleaner : HD Cleaner : MacBooster : Mac Cleaner : MacClean : MacClean360 : MacCleaner Pro : MacCleanse : MacEnizer : Mojave Cleaner : PowerMyMac : Pro Disk Cleaner : Quick Cleaner : Sensei : Stellar SpeedUpMac : TrashMe 3 : Washing Machine : WeCleanse : Wise Mac Care :: END LIST : :: The only system maintenance tool I recommend is TinkerTool System, a true bargain priced at only $14 for a single license.

You may very well regret it. -SB

I used Sensei only once, a few months ago, and then my computer just stopped working. I had to go to an Apple Store to format the Hard Drive. And after, certainly, reinstalling all the software took me a lot of time...

I would recommend to anyone to stay away from this kind of app. Your computer doesn't need them, and they may cause more harm than good.

Very beautiful UI

Very cool app-very functional and gorgeous interface!!!

i prefer iStatistica (Sensors)

Nice app. But not worth $59. I paid $10 for a prior version. Won't be upgrading for this price.

Sensei is really good and also beautiful. All Featues are implemented well and this is now my goto app on my Mac for all things regarding system maintenance. Thank you!

NOT 0S 10.14.X compatible ??? WTH???
