Mac OS X System Utilities

Posted by Ben in Macintosh, Software

Mac OS X keeps itself pretty tidy without much maintenance by the user but it’s not a bad idea once in a while to clean the system a bit - especially if you start to have any problems.
The UNIX core of OS X contains a number of built-in utilities for this but if you’re not a command-line geek you’ll want to use a 3rd party utility to simplify the process. They mostly do the same things - some more some less. Here’s a few to consider in my rough order of preference:

MainMenu
IceClean
OnyX
Tiger Cache Cleaner
Cocktail
Yasu
