CleanMyMac
The Sunday reset shouldn't stop at the desk, and CleanMyMac makes it easy to extend the ritual to the device that runs the rest of your week.

Smart Care provides the simplest entry point, scanning across the system and surfacing what needs attention in a few clicks, while deeper tools let you fine-tune performance and protection. It's less a tech chore than a recurring digital reset, leaving your Mac cleaner, lighter, and ready for Monday.
