Fast Cleanup
Fast Cleanup finds and removes junk files on your hard drive to free up space. Fast Cleanup includes Binaries Cutter, Languages Cutter, Logs Cleaner, and Cache Cleaner.

Get help with Mac basics, iPhone/iPad/iPod questions, buying tips and advice, Mac software, iPad applications, and more. Simpy describe your problems and receive a guaranteed answer within 48 hours!

Backup

Duplicates Finder
Duplicates Finder looks for file copies that take up space on your hard drive, even if they have been renamed, and allows you to remove any duplicates you don’t need.

Shredder
Protect your work. Shredder permanently deletes files or folders, making them impossible to recover.

UnDelete
Recover lost files. Undelete scans your hard drive for deleted files that can be still recovered.

Login Items
Login Items allows you to control automatic startup of selected applications. Manage the list of applications that you want to launch upon login.

Data Encryptor
