MemoryBooster
MemoryBooster is a system optimization utility for macOS that claims to improve performance by freeing up RAM and managing memory usage. It sits in the menu bar and provides at-a-glance memory statistics, with controls to purge cache, clear inactive memory, and monitor system performance metrics. It is aimed at Mac users seeking to improve perceived responsiveness on machines with limited RAM or during resource-intensive tasks.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about MemoryBooster in public sources, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. If you rely on this app, we recommend contacting the developer directly to ask whether the app has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs and whether native support is planned. This is important because an Intel-only build will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028. As a contingency, consider using macOS's built-in Activity Monitor (in Applications > Utilities) to view real-time memory usage and manually close unused applications to free RAM — modern macOS handles memory management quite efficiently on its own, and dedicated memory-boosting utilities are often less effective than they claim. If you prefer a third-party system monitor with confirmed Apple Silicon support, check out Macs Fan Control or iStat Menus, both of which offer native versions and provide detailed performance insights.
