Other apps sold by MacPaw, other than CleanMyMac are: Gemini 2 (a duplicate file finder), Wallpaper Wizard 2 (wallpapers for Mac), Encrypto, to name just a few.
CleanMyMac is a complex utility app that was first released in 2009. CleanMyMac 3 has been one of the most popular versions of it, at least until recently, when MacPaw launched a newer version, CleanMyMac X.
CleanMyMac 3 is available in 12 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese and six more.
How much does CleanMyMac 3 cost?
There are two options available with CleanMyMac 3: a free one and the licensed one, which will cost you money.

What can this Mac utility app do for your computer?
CleanMyMac 3 is a complex maintenance tool that does a lot more than just clean your Mac. It is an all-in-one utility app that monitors, cleans and optimizes your Mac, freeing the space on it and restoring it to its maximum performance.
The free version of CleanMyMac 3 can help you get a feel of the app and what you can do with it, but you can’t expect any miraculous results with it. It limits you to cleaning just 500MB, which for most Mac users, will be insufficient. However, you can play with the interface and check out all the settings and features included with the app.
Although it is very-user friendly and may seem even simplistic at first glance, CleanMyMac 3 packs in a lot of useful features.
One of the most important features of the app is its Smart Cleanup. In order to clean up junk and unnecessary files and free up space on your Mac, all you have to do is run a scan, to find out what can be deleted and click on the Clean option. The app focuses only on files that are not useful anymore, such as: photo junk, trash bins, cache files, outdated iOS backups, old logs and so on. You can choose which ones you want to delete or select all of them.
CleanMyMac 3 can help you boost the speed of your Mac, as well, by running maintenance scripts, fix any system errors, flush DNS cache, repair disk permissions and more. You can speed up your mail and fix any annoying lags you might experience.
In addition to actually cleaning, repairing and optimizing your computer, CleanMyMac 3 also monitors its activity, to identify any potential issues. It will send you useful notifications regarding the CPU usage, RAM memory, battery health and more. Moreover, you get the option to schedule various tasks, such as running tests and cleanings.
CleanMyMac 3 is easy to use and it takes only a few minutes to run a full scan of your drive. It can help you get rid of entire gigabytes of junk files, increasing your disk space and it keeps you up to date with everything that’s going on inside your Mac. The fact that it is available in several languages is definitely a pro, as is the fact that it comes in a free version. The app is 100% safe to use, although you should avoid downloading it from third-party sources, unless you want it bundled with unwanted bloatware.
