CleanMyMac now helps you clean up Gmail and manage Chrome tabs

MacPaw has recently unveiled two new features for its CleanMyMac software, aimed at assisting users in tidying up their digital workspace. Among these additions are Email Cleanup and Browser Care, both of which target prominent Google services - Gmail and Chrome, respectively. These features, according to MacPaw, are designed to aid users in managing digital clutter throughout their workday.

Email Cleanup, the first new feature, enables users to perform bulk deletions on unwanted emails, unsubscribe from mailing lists, and review their emails based on various criteria such as sender, category, year, or attachment size. It further assists users in identifying emails consuming storage space across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos, and facilitates the release of this space once the emails are deleted permanently.

Browser Care, on the other hand, is a tool designed to optimize the performance of Macs by managing Chrome tabs. It accomplishes this task by identifying Chrome tabs that consume significant resources or generate unnecessary clutter. This is made possible through a Chrome browser extension that connects directly to CleanMyMac. The tool provides users with near real-time insights into their Mac's memory usage, enabling them to pause resource-intensive tabs, identify duplicate tabs across browser windows, and locate pages that have been left open for prolonged periods.

As a result, Browser Care makes it easier for users to pinpoint which background tabs are affecting their Mac's performance, aiding in the reduction of slowdowns and distractions.

It is worth noting that Email Cleanup requires user confirmation before making any changes, while Browser Care only closes or suspends tabs upon the user's explicit request. The content, titles, and browsing history of these tabs remain stored locally on the user's Mac. Both features are currently being rolled out to users with an active CleanMyMac subscription.
