CleanMyMac is utility software developed by MacPaw for macOS. It helps users remove unneeded files and get an overview of what is slowing down their computer[1]
History[edit]
The first version of CleanMyMac was released in July 2008. MacPaw founder Oleksandr Kosovan wrote the code himself. [2]
CleanMyMac 2 was released in March 2013 and included an iPhoto library cleanup tool, large and old file finder, and other improvements[3]. CleanMyMac 3 followed in April 2015 and introduced tools to remove iTunes junk, mail attachments, cookies and unwanted browser extensions[4].
The latest version, CleanMyMac X, came out in September 2018. It added a malware detection tool, a visual tool to find large files called Space Lens and an update tab for installed apps.[5][6]

The program also has an application uninstaller, update tool for apps, scanner for large and old files and manager for browser history and personal data[7].
