Free software to speed up a slow Mac
In this block we will share some free programs or apps with Trial that can help you increase your Mac’s speed even more.
Memory Cleaner - a free RAM cleaner that can be a good alternative to Activity Monitor. It allows you to see which apps use the most resources, clear memory on Mac, quit background programs, and even set memory cleanup at automatic mode.
Memory Cleaner has some great features, one of which is a Details section which displays how many removable files you have:
- Junk Files
- Duplicates
- Large and Old files
- Unused Applications
Download Memory Cleaner Cost: FREE
Duplicate File Finder is one more free to download app. This basic version will let you find all duplicate files on your Mac and get rid of them quickly. You may be surprised how many duplicate images, music, documents, videos and other files you have and how much space you could free up. Some users find up to 10 gigabytes of duplicates. The full version of the app will give access to Cleanup Hints and Similar Folders - folders that have both unique and duplicate items.

App Cleaner & Uninstaller Pro is another tool that will help you to clear your apps’ service files quickly and safely. It also allows you to manage the extensions and login items we mentioned in the first two paragraphs. If you have many unused applications, we recommend that you get rid of them too. App Cleaner & Uninstaller Pro allows complete removal of apps together with all their support files in just one click. However, you can remove all service files and then just move the app’s icon to Trash manually. After uninstalling all large unused programs you will find noticeable changes in your Mac’s performance.
