Monitor RAM and Manage All Your Disks: Internal, External, and More

Complete System Monitoring

DiskCleanKit isn't just about cleaning your Mac—it's about giving you full visibility into your system's health. Monitor RAM usage, track storage across all drives, and keep everything running smoothly.

RAM Monitoring

Understanding your Mac's memory usage helps you identify performance issues before they slow you down.

What RAM Monitoring Shows

• Used Memory - How much RAM is currently in use
• Available Memory - Memory ready for new tasks
• Memory Pressure - Overall health of your memory system

Why RAM Matters

When your Mac runs low on available RAM:

• Apps become sluggish
• Switching between apps takes longer
• Your Mac may use disk space as virtual memory (slower)

DiskCleanKit helps you stay aware of memory usage so you can close unnecessary apps when needed.

Multi-Disk Support

One of DiskCleanKit's useful features is its ability to work with all your connected drives—not just your main system disk.

Supported Drive Types

DiskCleanKit works with:

• Internal SSD/HDD - Your Mac's built-in storage
• External SSDs - Portable solid-state drives
• External HDDs - Traditional hard drives
• USB Flash Drives - Thumb drives and memory sticks
• SD Cards - Camera cards and other flash media
• Network Volumes - Connected network storage

Scanning External Drives

Almost all scan features in DiskCleanKit support multiple disks:

1. Large & Old Files - Find space-wasting files on any drive

2. Duplicate Finder - Detect duplicates across all connected drives

3. Disk Manager - View and manage all drives in one place
