CCleaner

CCleaner is pretty well-known, right? While it didn't quite hit the same level of fame on Mac as it did on Windows, it's still a solid choice for cleaning up unnecessary files and software. Over the years, it has faced some criticism, but many users find it helpful.

What's New in CCleaner 2?

With the latest version, CCleaner 2, you get a fresh new look and an awesome feature that helps you clean out those not-so-great photos to save storage space. Plus, there are several other improvements and now it supports M1 processors!

How Does It Work?

This app really shines when it comes to its main function: scanning your system for junk files. It can find things like application caches, logs, development leftovers, and downloads. It even points out large files and can catch duplicates for you!

Cleaning Browsers Made Easy

CCleaner doesn’t stop there! It can also check your installed browsers to remove cookies, cache files, and browsing history. Sure, you could do this from each browser individually, but having one app handle multiple browsers at once is super convenient.

A Handy Photo Cleanup Tool

A neat new feature lets you tidy up your photo library by getting rid of pictures that aren’t exactly stunning. The app looks for blurry or poorly lit images and suggests them for deletion. You can also find similar photos that aren’t identical but might be taking up space unnecessarily.

Your Privacy Matters

If you're conscious about privacy (and who isn't these days?), make sure to check the app's preferences under the Privacy tab. You can choose to disable data sharing with third-party analytics tools. Piriform claims they anonymize your info, but it's always good to be cautious.

Final Thoughts on CCleaner

Overall, CCleaner remains a dependable junk cleaner and uninstaller while also helping manage those overflowing photo collections. The redesigned UI feels more user-friendly too! For anyone looking to clean up their Mac efficiently, download CCleaner today!
