Keep your Mac Tip-Top with OnyX

Have you heard of OnyX? It’s a free utility that lets you maintain and tweak your Mac to keep it healthy and squeeze every drop of processing power from it.

In their own words:

OnyX is a multifunction utility that enables you to verify the startup disk and the structure of its system files, to run miscellaneous maintenance and cleaning tasks, to configure parameters in Finder, Dock and some of the Apple-own applications, to delete caches, to remove certain problematic folders and files, to rebuild various databases and indexes and more.

I use it at home on my 7-year-old PowerMac G5. Without OnyX, I would have junked this computer years ago, but it’s still humming along and works well enough for some light Photoshop and Illustrator work.

Whether you’ve got a late model Mac Pro or something a little more vintage, OnyX can help you out and might even save your hide some day.
