Memory Cleaner
Memory Cleaner by Nektony is a lightweight, free menu-bar utility for macOS that monitors and helps manage system RAM usage. It allows users to purge inactive memory with a single click or on an automatic schedule based on memory pressure or CPU thresholds. The app displays memory usage visually and includes automatic cleanup triggers. It is aimed at Mac owners who experience performance dips under memory pressure but prefer a simple, focused tool over a broader system maintenance suite.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe found no evidence that Memory Cleaner by Nektony has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon, and the search results do not mention a native build or any recent development activity indicating one is planned. Nektony's own blog and the third-party testing articles we reviewed make no mention of Apple Silicon support. Since the app is currently simple and focused, contact Nektony directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028 — at that point, the Intel-only build will stop launching on M-series Macs. If native support is not forthcoming, consider CleanMyMac as a more actively developed alternative (it ships natively on Apple Silicon and includes real-time memory pressure monitoring), or rely on built-in Activity Monitor (freely available with every Mac, with full transparency into memory pressure, swap, and per-app usage) rather than a third-party utility.
