I’d like to throw in my 2 cents here. I’m a software engineer, My job
involves designing (for both PC and Mac) different applications and tools. So
my 2 cents here is primarily based off of that knowledge. Generally speaking
anything that you might consider “junk” has the potential to be an incredibly
useful resource. Mac was designed off of an operating system called unix. Unix
had the job of running on highly sophisticated servers for long periods of
time. The whole purpose from the ground up was to make sure that “junk” never
even got written to your hard drive.
Apple has worked very hard to make sure that those ideals stay true, so
“junk” doesn’t ever exist unless you as the user try very hard to put it there.
I personally wouldn’t ever pay to have a tool “clean” a machine that was
already clean. These tools (as far as the mac is concerned) aren’t preventative
nor are they able to solve any serious issues. The moral of the story is just
don’t worry about it. If your mac starts running slowly take it to somebody
that knows what they’re doing, otherwise trust the system.
Unlike windows there’s no such thing as a “defragmenter” or “cleaner”
that just magically makes things run better. It’s also (in my experience) not
necessary to restart your mac very often because again, if a problem exists
there isn’t some magical fix to that problem. The mac is a system that in
general, doesn’t produce issues, but those that it does produce are more
serious.
