iCleanMemory
iCleanMemory is a system utility for macOS that aims to optimize RAM usage by clearing unused memory and freeing up system resources. It runs in the menu bar and allows users to manually trigger memory cleanup, monitor memory usage, and potentially automate the process. The app targets users concerned about system performance or those running memory-intensive applications who believe freeing RAM will improve responsiveness or battery life.

1 suggestionWe could not find reliable information about whether iCleanMemory has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The app's developer website or distribution channel is not clearly documented in public sources. Before relying on this app long-term, contact the developer to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. This is particularly important given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028 — less than 28 months away. An Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. As a fallback, consider using the built-in Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities/) to view and manage memory usage, which is native on all M-series Macs and requires no third-party software.
