Well designed app, but unecessary

This a PSA for everyone looking at this app. Your Mac caches data in RAM in order to make tasks such as lauching applications faster. This is typically done by allocating chunks of the “Free” section of memory so that it then becomes active. By purging the Active memory, you may be cleaning up a small amount of RAM that had been improperly allocated (i.e., memory leak in a badly designed application), but you are also going to cripple the performance of applications you have recently closed / open again, as all of that data will be recached.

Unless you are running a VERY BADLY written program that causes a tremendous amount of memory leaks, applications like this are unnecessary at best. While it is a great app and does as advertised, the benefits of using a program like this are minimal and only last for a short duration of time, if at all.
