Macaroni
Automated System Maintenance for Mac OS X
Why should you have to remember to clean old junk from your Mac you don't want or need? Shouldn't a computer be able to remember for you?
Macaroni is a tool which handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X, including the Mac OS X repair privileges process as well as Unix-style maintenance. You could do this yourself, but don't you have more interesting things to do with your time?
Macaroni remembers for you!
Macaroni runs these maintenance tasks on a regular schedule, regardless of when your Mac is on. If a scheduled maintenance task is not run when it's normally scheduled, Macaroni automatically ensures that it's run at the next opportunity, whenever the Mac is on.

Cleans and Maintains
Macaroni helps you by:
  • Running improved versions of Mac OS X Unix maintenance, to clean out temporary and junk files that don't get removed otherwise.
  • Repairing permissions.
  • Removing language-specific files you don't need (save GB of disk space).
  • Running your own custom maintenance jobs.

All this work happens in the background, automatically. It's like a Roomba for your Mac.
  • Maintenance happens only when your Mac isn't busy-- just like running a screen saver.
  • If your Mac is a laptop, Macaroni protects your battery by not running maintenance on battery power.
