What happens if you fix itUp to 4.2 GB of memory comes back, so macOS can stop swapping to disk.

Quit Chrome HelperShow all apps

Nothing is deleted. Reopen Chrome whenever you need it.

Why is it slow, hot, full or draining? One app answers.

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.

Before you install it.

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Will it delete my files?

Never outright. Anything Clean removes waits 30 days in quarantine with undo, on every OS.

Do I need an account?

No. Free and Pro are local-first and need no account.

Does it use AI?

Only if you bring your own, and it is off by default. When you switch it on, only facts — names, sizes, percentages — are sent, and only to the provider you choose.

What happens after a year?

Pro is bought once and includes one year of updates. Renew if you want more.

Does one licence cover all my computers?

One Pro licence covers your Mac, Windows and Linux machines. Windows arrives in v1.1 and Linux in v1.3.

What does it not do?

Your content. It leaves files, documents, mail, notes, passwords and media alone.

Does it install kernel drivers?

No kernel drivers, ever. It runs as one process with one tray icon.
