How to free up RAM on your Mac
When your Mac's memory fills up, macOS moves data to disk (swapping) and everything feels slow — beachballs, laggy switching, stutters. Freeing inactive memory relieves that pressure instantly.
Free inactive memory in one tap
macOS keeps a lot of "inactive" memory around. The purge command flushes it, but it lives in Terminal. CleanerMac's Tune-Up runs it as a single button — no command line, no risk.
Find the memory hogs
The live status widget shows your current RAM pressure at a glance, so you know when it's time to close idle apps or purge.
Keep memory healthy
Combine the memory purge with a Quick Clean and the Quiet Scheduler, and your Mac stays responsive without you thinking about it.
Give your Mac room to breathe
Free inactive RAM with one tap.
