No wonder the mac does not come with a defragmenter. It is simply not needed.

There are defragmenters for the mac but it's debatable whether they make
a difference. Personally I don't use one and have never had any slow
down. The mac file system is very good about avoiding fragmentation in
the first place, and, since many of the macs are moving to SSD drives,
this matters even less. I use cocktail and onyx. They allow you to
change some settings that are not available in system preferences, and
they do things such as clearing your cache and old log files.

What’s a good program for keeping your mac running smoothly? I have
heard of “clean my mac” and “cocktail”. But don’t know what either one
does. When I was using windows, they had C-Cleaner, disk clean up, and
disk defragmenter. Are there similar programs that do this for the
mac, maybe one that does it all? I know there is a version of
C-Cleaner for the mac, but don’t know how good it works if at all.
