-- FEATURED BY APPLE AS AN INVALUABLE UTILITY --
AWARDED MACWORLD 'MAC GEM' 2013 - The Best Memory Cleaning App
Memory Clean is the ultimate app for optimizing your Mac's memory and is best used after you have finished using a memory (RAM) intensive app or game.
With the slickest interface and user experience, Memory Clean stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Note: Memory Clean works by purging the Mac's inactive memory and is best used when you close an intensive app that you do not plan to use again quickly within a few hours. During the cleaning process, older Macs may slow down until the cleaning is complete.
What's New in Version 6.2
Works with macOS Sierra!

Update: One of the most useful apps to improve Mac’s performance
First, I should let you know that I’m getting addicted to FIPLAB apps. They provide great utilities that make your Mac run better. Memory Clean is a handy little app that monitors your computer’s RAM or Memory. (Note, this is not a Disk cleaner, though FIPLAB has that covered too). Memroy Clean does exactly what it says, it frees up RAM in a matter of seconds. It’s very easy to use, with a nice GUI. I tested the app on my MacBook Pro with SSD. I thought I was doing a good job of deleting unused Apps - man was I wrong! I was shocked to find I only had 10% of 8 GB free. With a slight hesitation, I activated the app, and like magic, within seconds went up to 35% free! Next I’ll use it on my iMac, which has reaaly slowed down. Memory Clean is quite amazing.
UPDATE: It works very well, and I upgraded to Extreme Clean. Wow! I started with 2% free out of 8GB RAM. Then ran regular Memeory Clean and 23% free. More amazing is what happened when I ran Extreme Clean - free RAM went up 43%.!!! Under perferences you can set Memory Clean to operate automatically at limits you designate. That makes the app even better than my initial review.
Free version vs In-App Extreme Clean
Have used the free version for years on my Macbook Pro. I upgraded this to 16GB, and even though I’m not a big multi-tasker or gamer, I often found I was getting down to 2-4GB free when using multiple desktops. The free version would nicely add sometimes 2GB to available RAM. It would automatically clean once in awhile, but I found myself manually cleaning several times daily. I have just purchased a Mac Mini as ‘backup’ to the MBP, and the Mini is limited to 8GB of RAM. So, I continued to run the free version quite often because my available RAM was usually < 4GB. I wasn’t really happy with the idea that I would have to turn off all other apps when running Final Cut Pro because of the RAM. After reading the help information on Fiblabs site about extreme clean, I purchased it. $4.99 seemed like a good investment if it would find an additional 1GB of memory. The first time I ran it it found an extra 1.3 GB of memory, a significant improvement when my max is 8, and actually closer to 5 given I am running El Capitan. That is a significant improvement for $4.99.
Start Up Disk is Almost Full
Seriously, that warning is almost as annoying as the “Storage Full” notification on my iPhone. Was I irritated that I couldn’t figure out a free way to safely clear up memory? Yes. Was I irritated that the free version only cleaned up SOME of my memory? Yes. But then I realized that I have been transferring files and accruing new ones on a Mac since 2003 and this is the first time I’ve actually run out of space that I couldn’t free up by deleting video and/or old document files. (If you don’t have an external drive, get one. Unless you’re a computer whiz, you’ll NEVER fill it up.) I purchased this app and the Disk Doctor one from the same developer. Less than ten bucks and I freed up a HUGE amount of space and I won’t have to see that stupid warning for a while, either. This app adds a little icon to the top toolbar that tells me how much available memory I have and where I’m using it. User-friendly and unobtrusive, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of other computer “stuff."
