Memory Scope

Memory Scope is a handy little app that can help boost your Mac's performance by freeing up unused RAM. Some folks say it doesn't provide a lasting change, but many users find it useful.

What Does Memory Scope Do?

This app sits quietly in your status bar and keeps an eye on how much memory you're using. It shows you cool stats like total memory, used memory, and free memory. You can even see the percentage of RAM each app is using!

Easy Cleanup

If you spot an app hogging too much RAM, you can quickly stop it right from Memory Scope's menu. Plus, there's a neat real-time display in the status bar so you always know how much RAM is available at any moment. When the app cleans up memory, you'll see a "Freeing" label pop up too!

Set It and Forget It

If you check the "Auto Free Memory" option, Memory Scope will automatically clear out your memory at set intervals. This means less hassle for you while keeping your Mac running smoothly.

A Few Drawbacks

That said, the main window of Memory Scope is a bit bulky for such a simple task. Unfortunately, there's no way to customize it or make it disappear when you're not using it. If you choose not to use Auto Free, this interface could take up more space on your desktop than you'd like.

Final Thoughts

To wrap things up, Memory Scope has great potential for freeing up unused RAM while staying mostly out of your way. This can be super helpful when you're running apps that need lots of resources!
