Yes, CleanMyMac Actually Works
No, your computer is not supposed to run that slow. You’re also not going crazy, your computer is probably running slower than it used to when it was new. It’s okay, resist the temptation to frisbee your laptop into the recycle bin, there’s a way to fix this, and it mercifully does not involve a trip to the Apple store. You don’t even have to put on pants that zip to fix your computer by yourself. Everything’s going to be fine.
I am a freelance writer. I work from home on a tiny MacBook that’s gold and has been my primary source of internetting and work-from-homeing for the last five years. Recently, I noticed the thing had to actually think before it could type so much as a sentence. It was the last straw in collection of various straws that I’d been overlooking because I was afraid that they all meant I was about to have to buy a new laptop. Eventually, I’ll have to, but not today. Because I Googled “please, my laptop, she’s very sick” and then got CleanMyMac.
CleanMyMac is an all-in-one tune-up for your Mac. It deletes junk, makes sure everything is secure, and increases speed. Basically it makes your laptop run like it’s supposed to again. I don’t know about you, but $39.95 in clean-up costs sounded a LOT better than over $1K for a new laptop altogether. You can read more about everything CleanMyMac does here, because heaven knows their website is more informed than a fearful freelance writer lighting sage on her desk and hoping that’ll do the trick.
What I know is this: My computer was barely functioning, and it was making it actually take longer for me to work. As someone who charges hourly rates, that’s unacceptable. I bought CleanMyMac, let it do it’s (quite frankly, magical) thing, and now my computer is functioning at it’s old speedy pace, and I’m not losing my mind watching letters appear on screen at a half-second delay. I re-run CleanMyMac all the time, it has now become regular weekly maintenance that keeps things running smoothly and takes…I dunno, three minutes or so to accomplish.
