Although macOS is designed to be lightning-fast and well-optimized, months of use and abuse often slow down the operating system. Junk files build up in the background and you have leftover files from uninstalled apps here and there. Your Mac’s performance suffers while the operating system feels a lot slower than it ought to be. In a case like this, a Mac cleaner and performance booster app will most likely do the trick and fix these issues.
So, which Mac cleaner comes on top of the list as the best out of the bunch? CleanMyMac? Smart Mac Care? Onyx? You’ve probably run across some of these and already considering going for one of them. However, we have a different recommendation that does it better with quite a number of advantages over the rest.
Introducing BuhoCleaner for Mac
BuhoCleaner isn’t just a Mac cleaner like the rest, it sets itself apart by aiming to keep things simple and straightforward. Of all the Mac cleaners I’ve used in recent times, BuhoCleaner seems to be the easiest to use. Although the user interface looks rather too simplified, it is in contrast to how powerful this app this and how great it works.
BuhoCleaner’s speed at completing tasks is simply amazing. Unlike other apps performing similar functions, BuhoCleaner doesn’t come with unnecessary gimmicky features meant to bloat the software and make you pay more. Its primary function is to make your Mac faster and that is the main focus of the app design.
BuhoCleaner gets rid of system and app cache junk while giving you back gigabytes of space lost to these useless files.
If you’re running the latest version of macOS (Big Sur), you can be assured that BuhoCleaner works great with it. I also tested it on macOS Catalina without issues. If you’re using one of the latest MacBooks with Apple M1 chip, the app takes advantage of this to deliver 3x the normal speed.
Flash Clean
As the name suggests, the main feature of BuhoCleaner is to clean up junk in a flash. To get started, it is necessary to grant the app the required permission to properly scan your whole system and flush out those files eating up your storage space and clogging your computer’s performance.
Hitting the scan button combs through your whole system while searching for system junk and junk generated by the user. For a 500GB SSD, this scan took less than a minute for me and that goes to show how fast BuhoCleaner is.
When the scan is complete, the app displays how much space can be reclaimed and a Smart-selected recommendation of files to delete. Of course, it’s safe to trust the Smart-selected option, but you still have the option to view and choose what to delete and things to keep.
For instance, you might want to keep the browser cache and unused DMG files even though these two still take considerable space. If you’re a developer, you’ve probably noticed that Xcode tends to take up a lot of storage space even when it shouldn’t. BuhoCleaner also fixes this by locating orphaned simulators and other junks and giving you the chance to review and get rid of them.
Hitting the Remove button cleans up your machine and you should instantly see a difference in performance.
Complete App Uninstall
Although macOS gives you an easy way to uninstall apps by just deleting and moving them to the trashcan, this doesn’t mean you’ve completely gotten rid of the app. There are times applications leave some leftovers behind. BuhoCleaner fixes this for you.
Also, if you’re the type that installs random apps every now and then, chances are that you have a whole lot of unused applications taking up space unnecessarily.
This Mac cleaner fishes out these apps and lets you decide whether to keep or remove them. You can even sort based on the date last opened to know which ones are actually of no use.
Duplicate and Large Files Removal
BuhoCleaner further lets you free up space with a feature that scans all folder and checks for duplicate files and another that scans for files that are deemed large.
However, it is advised that you carefully review this before removing as you might lose important files. You should only delete what you’re sure is useless. In the image above, for example, I have Windows installed through VMWare as a virtual machine. Those large .vmdk files are crucial to my virtual machine and must never be deleted.
The duplicate files finder also does an excellent job at detecting files that appear more than once within your storage.
Startup Items Management
When you install certain apps, they are automatically programmed to start running the moment you turn on the computer. This means that they start using your processing power and RAM even when they are not needed, further slowing down your Mac.
This tool displays and lets you manage apps that startup with your Mac. You can easily disable them using just a toggle.
Pricing
At the moment, BuhoCleaner costs only $9.99 for a single license. Compared to other apps performing similar functions, this is quite affordable. Besides, you don’t have to pay for an upgrade; once you buy a license, you have access to unlimited upgrades for a lifetime, unlike similar programs using the yearly renewal pricing model.
