What is MacRevive and how does it prevent crashes?

MacRevive is a macOS storage cleanup and system optimization app designed to prevent crashes by intelligently managing your storage space. It automatically identifies and removes unnecessary files like cache, temporary data, and system junk, ensuring your Mac always has enough free space to operate smoothly and prevent crashes caused by low storage.

How does MacRevive clean up my storage?

MacRevive automatically scans your Mac for safe-to-remove files including cache files, temporary downloads, system logs, and old application support files. It uses intelligent algorithms to identify only non-essential files, preserving all your important documents, photos, and applications. You can review what will be cleaned before any files are removed.

Is MacRevive free or do I need to pay?

MacRevive offers a 2-day free trial with full access to all premium features - no credit card required. After the trial, you can purchase a lifetime license with a one-time payment. The lifetime license includes all current and future features, with no recurring subscriptions.

Will MacRevive slow down my Mac?

No! MacRevive is designed to be extremely lightweight and runs quietly in the background. It performs cleanup operations during idle times and won't interrupt your work or slow down your system. The app uses minimal system resources and actually improves performance by freeing up storage space.

Can MacRevive delete my important files?

Absolutely not! MacRevive only removes safe, unnecessary files like cache, temporary data, and system logs. It never deletes user documents, photos, applications, or any files you actually need. The app provides a detailed preview of files scheduled for cleanup, so you can review and exclude anything before removal.

Is my data private and secure?

Yes! All data processing happens locally on your Mac. MacRevive doesn't collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers. Your file data, cleanup patterns, and usage statistics remain completely private on your device. We built MacRevive with privacy-first principles.

How do I install MacRevive?

Installing MacRevive is simple and takes just a minute. Download the DMG file from our website, open it, and drag MacRevive to your Applications folder. The app will automatically start running and appear in your menu bar. No complex setup, permissions, or configuration required - it works immediately after installation.

What Mac models and macOS versions are supported?

MacRevive works with all Intel and Apple Silicon Mac models running macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later. It automatically detects your Mac's specifications and optimizes cleanup processes accordingly. The app is compatible with MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro.

Can I customize when MacRevive runs?

Yes! MacRevive allows you to customize cleanup schedules, set automatic maintenance intervals, and choose which types of files to clean. You can create different schedules for workdays vs weekends, configure the app to run during idle times, and pause cleanups when needed.

Does MacRevive work with external drives?

Yes! MacRevive can clean both internal and external drives. It safely analyzes connected storage devices and removes unnecessary files while preserving your important data. This is especially useful for freeing up space on external drives used for backups or media storage.

How do I purchase MacRevive?

You can purchase a lifetime license directly from our website. Once purchased, you'll receive a license key via email which you can use to activate the app immediately. The license is valid for use on your Mac indefinitely.

Can I use MacRevive with other cleanup apps?

While MacRevive can work alongside other system maintenance tools, we recommend using only one comprehensive cleanup app to avoid conflicts. MacRevive focuses specifically on storage cleanup and crash prevention, so it's designed to be a complete solution on its own.
