Using Clean My Mac X

The app was superbly accessible unfortunately with the recent uptades it is very hard to use. You may look to other apps such as Onyx.

I have used both clean my Mac and Onyx extensively. Clean my Mac slows down so many max in my opinion, especially with recent features like the menu bar app, that's always monitoring system performance, etc.
with Onyx, you can do so much more than you could with clean my Mac. Although it doesn't uninstall apps like clean my Mac X does, there is another free app called app cleaner which does the same thing as clean my Mac's UnInstaller feature, but even better.

I would recommend staying away from clean my Mac, just because of the amount of background activity apps like clean my Mac X, Mac keeper, and other apps use. I used to use clean my Mac X for a while, and forgot how fast my Mac could be when I disabled it. Onyx is completely free and is completely accessible with voiceover. It even allows you to do more advanced things like enabling or disabling gatekeeper without the terminal.
another thing about apps like clean my Mac, is that if you want to uninstall them, you can't just move the app to trash, you also have to delete other hard to find demons, launch agents, etc.

So giving onix a shot but, cmpared to clean my mac, does it uninstall applications in the background? Does it monitor in the background in the menu bar like clean my mac, etc, or do you have to do things like maintenance etc manually by opening the app and doing it yourself, etc? Does it have threat and virus scanning? I want to give this a fair shot so, hense my asking.? Also, every time I opeo n onix, I have to enter my password, and I mean, every, single time... Any way to stop that?
To be honest though, i've never had problems with clean my mac, its never made my mac run slow at all; and we're talking I used to run on on intel and on my 2012 macbook, its always worked well.

with the Onyx app, you do have to enter your password every single time. There is no way around that, because Onyx needs admin privileges to complete some things, so it always asks for your password. As far as I can tell, there's no way to make it only ask for your password when you need to do something that requires admin privileges. onyx does not give you access to things like real time malware protection, or a menu bar app. If you really need malware protection, I would recommend malware bites. It's free, and it's unobtrusive. I have yet to install malware to see how malware bites handles it, but for what I've heard it's one of the best.
If you really really do need monitoring of system performance, ram usage, battery health, etc. in the menu bar, I would use clean my Mac X. One of the reasons I quit using it, was with only 8 GB of RAM with a Windows virtual machine open, it would constantly pop up saying that ram was low. That's one of the main reasons why I uninstalled it. Personally, I don't need such features, but if this is something you really really need, clean my Mac X might be the option for you in that case. It also does malware protection. I would still keep Onyx around, because there are some things you can't do in clean my Mac X that Onyx does do perfectly.

if clean my Mac X is what you have used for years, I would've said that it would be best to stick with what you know, but the recent new version that overhaul the app made it almost completely inaccessible. If you can find an older version, every once in a while, an alert will pop up asking you if clean my Mac X can access data from other apps. This would happen at around maybe every 15 minutes. I don't know why it was asking for that or Wyatt needed it, but it kept happening. This was with macOS Sequoia I believe 15.1 or 15.2. this was another reason why I uninstalled it. For me, Onyx does everything that I used to use clean my Mac X for. I personally don't download random things on the Internet, but if I needed malware protection, I would turn to malware bites.

Just a correction. Have the new version and it’s just as accessible as clean my mac x was. You do have a bit more tables to interact with but, its j'ust as accessible as clean my mac x, the layout changed is all. I say this as someone who has been using their new version for about a year if not longer wthout any problems, you just have to get used to the new layout; is all; but its still fully accessible. If yoll want I can post a screen recording of this, but the app is still fully accessible.
