System Maintenance with MainMenu

by: Andrew Johnson

Periodically I want to clean my mac’s system cache, repair permissions, run the maintenance cron jobs, and toggle hidden files in Finder. In the past I would always use Titanium Software’s Onyx to accomplish this feat easily and all in one program.

Yet a few days ago I stumbled upon Dare to be Creative’s MainMenu. While I think that this software has a horribly unspecific name, MainMenu consolidates many of the features contained in Onyx into a simple, beautiful, and elegant menu bar UI. In fact all of MainMenu’s features are only 2 clicks away.

While MainMenu does lack in the depth of Onyx, it contains all of the features I would want to use on a day to day basis. Thus while I still love and will continue to use Onyx, MainMenu is a wonderfully polished and ellegant replacement for much of its functionality.
