Memory+: A Questionable Tool for RAM Management
Memory+ is a system utility designed to optimize RAM usage on Mac devices by scanning the memory and terminating unnecessary processes to free up space. Despite being free to download, the application has garnered skepticism regarding its effectiveness, as it often fails to produce a noticeable impact on system performance. Users report that any RAM released is quickly reallocated by the operating system, rendering the tool largely ineffective in providing lasting improvements.
The application integrates seamlessly with macOS, requiring minimal system resources during operation. Unique features include automated cleanup processes that run in the background without freezing or locking the device. However, it falls short in providing detailed insights into current RAM usage or which processes are consuming memory. The lack of transparency and the lengthy scanning time may deter users from relying on it for serious memory management tasks.
