When your Mac is slow and struggling to perform normal operations, using a program for cleaning and optimizing macOS could be decisive. Let’s find out why in this review!
The mere fact that the Mac is one of the best-performing personal computers on the market certainly does not make it immune to common problems, which in most cases are generated by bad user habits. An example is the accumulation of useless files that occupy the hard disk and affect the performance of macOS. All this happens because not everyone is aware of the fact that the hard disk, even if it is a latest generation SSD, needs enough free space to be able to perform data processing operations.
That’s why it’s essential to maintain a certain order in the Mac and get rid of the junk files that often represent the cause of poor performance, far from what one would expect from a computer from the Apple company.
The solution comes from Dr.Buho, the company that developed BuhoCleaner, which is one of the best apps out there for cleaning and optimizing your Mac.
BuhoCleaner Full Tests
As soon as the app is installed and started, we will be greeted by a clean and rather essential graphical interface. All the available functions are on display in the only menu on the left, where we find.
By clicking the “Scan” button, the entire system will be analyzed to detect all superfluous files (e.g. cache, system data and unused DMGs) which can be eliminated by clicking on the “Remove” button.
As you can see in our test, the program managed to locate and successfully delete 3.89 GB.
Uninstall Apps
Through this function you can completely uninstall applications, including all junk files and subfolders generated during installation. You can have a good opportunity to get rid of all unused programs and free up disk space!
Simply tick the box next to the program you want to remove and click “Remove”… BuhoCleaner will do the rest!
Large Files
Finding and deleting bulky files has never been easier. Also in this case, with a click on the “Scan” button, you can scan them in a few seconds and select those that we deem appropriate to delete.
Duplicates
Another very useful function allows you to scan the entire disk for duplicate files that take up space unnecessarily. You can imagine my surprise when the scan result found a total of 13.46GB of duplicate photos, songs and documents.
Startup Items
Proceeding with the functions of BuhoCleaner we find the management of the “Startup items”, through which it is possible to activate / deactivate the programs that are activated automatically when the Mac starts up.
Toolkits
Toolkit contains 5 tools that complete the functions of this amazing Mac cleaning program: Disk Space Analyzer, File Shredder, Free RAM, Spotlight Reindexer and DNS Cache Cleaner. All functions that need no introduction.
BuhoCleaner Menu
A separate mention named BuhoCleaner Menu can be launched by clicking on the program icon in the menu bar at the top right. This allows you to monitor CPU load, processor temperature, heatsink fan speed, RAM usage, network and storage status in real time.
Conclusions
The application relies heavily on its user-friendly interface, where ease of use is king. It is also fully compatible with the latest versions of macOS and already optimized for Macs equipped with M1 – M3 Pro/Max processors. BuhoCleaner is on sale with up to 35% off discount, starting from $19.9 (offering free lifetime updates, 24-hour support and a 30-day money-back guarantee).
