WEBVTT - Essential Mac App: Clean My Mac X

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>A new version of the software that helps keep your

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Mac running in tip top shape. What's going on. I'm

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:12.799
<v Speaker 1>rich Demiro. This is rich on Tech. Clean my Mac

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is one of my essential programs for my Mac laptop.

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I've used some feature of the program pretty much every

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>few days for many years now, and now they have

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a totally redesigned app called Clean my Mac x or ten,

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>with a new look and feel. Plus it does even more.

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll take a look at what's new. But first up,

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you what clean my Mac is all about.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 1>It's an all in one app that helps you maintain

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>your Mac computer. It cleans up your system, protects it

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>gets rid of old files and programs and more. And

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>again we're discussing the inside of your system. It's not

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.959
<v Speaker 1>going to clean up the outside of your system. Now,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're familiar with the program, you'll notice some speed

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>improvements in the new version. MacPaw, the company that makes it,

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>says the new program is three times faster than before,

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and they've also added malware removal and a new and

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>improved menu bar app.

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 2>More on all of that later.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>One thing they changed that I don't like so much

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>is the new pricing.

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you about that as well.

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>So the main function of clean my Mac that most

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>people will use is the smart scan. This is a

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>quick scan of your system that can help you identify

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the unnecessary files taking up space, including all the random

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>files that programs generate, and also the stuff that you

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>have collecting in the trash. The smart scan will also

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>quickly scan for any threats to your system and increase

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the speed of your system by flushing the DNS cash

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and freeing up RAM. Now, if you want to get

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>more specific with your cleanup, there are several other scans

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you can do. Think of these as more deep dives.

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>There's a scan for system junk, photo junk, mail attachments,

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>iTunes junk, and the trash bin. One of the functions

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I personally use the most is the scan for large

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and old files. This is really handy for finding those

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>big files that are lurking on your hard drive taking

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>up a ton of space, and on a laptop like

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>mine where every gigabyte is precious.

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>This has been one of my favorite scans to do.

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Also, Clean my Mac does not do anything automatically when

0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>it comes to important files like this.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Sure it might clear out your.

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Cash and a smart scan, but if you're going to

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>be dumping photos or big files, it will always present

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you with a list that you can double check and

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>pick the items that you want gone before it gets

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>rid of them. There's also an option to securely erase

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>files as well, if you need a bit more protection

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>on that level. Another feature I love is the application

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>uninstaller Now. Macs are pretty easy when it comes to

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>uninstalling apps. You can drag and drop many of them

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>right into the trash and that takes care of it.

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>But that's not always the case.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes these apps leave around little fragments and that can

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>mess up your computer over time, slow it down, or

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>just leave little things you don't want on there. Clean

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>by Mac gives you a list of all the programs

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>that are installed in your computer, and in one click

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you can get rid of the.

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Ones you don't need anymore.

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>It will completely uninstall them, so all the little things

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that are usually left hanging nothing is left lingering around.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I love that feature.

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>The new version also sorts your apps now into categories,

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>including thirty two bit unused apps you got from the

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>app store and by vendor, so if you want to

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>see all the apps that you have for Microsoft on

0:02:59.280 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>your machine.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 2>You can do that or Google or whatever.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.679
<v Speaker 1>This is a really great feature and I use it

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>often since I'm always testing out new programs. I use

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 1>them for a while and then I want to dump them.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Also new in the app is a malware scan and removal.

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Now there's not a ton of malware on Max, but

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>it can happen, and it's nice to know you're protected.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>The clean my Mac program also tells you the last.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Time that the definitions and things were updated for the malware.

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Clean my Mac also has other stuff like an option

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to delete your browsing history and other privacy related traces

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>from your online activities, including your chat history. Another feature

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I like is the little helper app in the Mac

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>menu bar. I'm always referencing this one tap and you

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>can instantly see all kinds of crucial information about your system,

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>including how much hard drive space you have left that

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>when I'm always looking at pretty much every day, how

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>much memory you have left, how much battery you have

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>left in which apps are draining the battery most. Then

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>there's a little icon with info about your CPU, including

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>the current temperature and how much load is currently on it.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Then you've got a network monitor, so you can see

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>if something's going on in your network when you're not

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>really using your computer, and that shit be a red flag. Plus,

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>you have an option to connect to Dropbox you can

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>monitor how much free space you have in there. As

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you can see, Clean my Mac really is an all

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.839
<v Speaker 1>in one tool that does it all. There are more

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>features haven't even mentioned, and to me, this is an

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>essential app if you work on a Mac now. Like me,

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm always doing video editing, so I'm always putting big

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>files on my computer. That's why I'm always trying to

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.919
<v Speaker 1>see how much hard drive space I have left, and

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm always trying to free up those files when I

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>no longer need them.

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Clean my Mac really helps me do all that stuff.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>There is a free trial if you want to check

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>things out, but if you proceed, it's a one time

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>payment of ninety dollars. Or you can upgrade from the

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>current version of Clean my Mac three for fifty percent off.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Or you can subscribe to something called set App. This

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>is a ten dollars monthly subscription that gives you a

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>library of premium curated apps. You just download the ones

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you need when you need them. And again these are

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>premium curated apps. You're getting all the features inside the

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>apps for that ten dollars monthly payment.

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to pay anything more.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.559
<v Speaker 1>And if you're listening to this podcast in the first

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>week that Clean my Mac ten is out, it's.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Thirty percent for the first week.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>If you're listening to the podcast after the first week,

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and when you go to the website you don't see

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>a discount on the prices, I recommend downloading my favorite

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>coupon code finder for Chrome called wikiby.

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 2>When I went to the mac.

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Paul website to check out the prices for clean my Mac,

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 1>it showed me ten codes to try for discounts. I

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>will put a link to that in the show notes.

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>And wiki by works for all kinds of websites. It's

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite helpers for Chrome because literally it

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>finds promo codes that nobody else finds.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>It's really great. All right, there you have it.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.920
