“Why is my computer slow?”
One question. One sentence. One click to fix.
Your machine, kept fast, tidy and healthy. One hotkey, eleven tools, bought once, on every OS.

What happens if you fix itUp to 4.2 GB of memory comes back, so macOS can stop swapping to disk.
Nothing is deleted. Reopen Chrome whenever you need it.
Every module writes to one shared fact store, so the readings are connected and the app can answer the question. Each finding has a sentence, the evidence, what happens if you fix it, and an undo where the fix is reversible.
