I know much information given by this app is available at different places in the Finder... but to have all of them gathered in one place is so useful and easier. Plus fan speed, temperatures, etc are not easily available somewhere else. The cleaning part is well-done and risk-free. The uninstaller is a must-have but if you want to leave useless files in your mac (it won't hurt, but uses HD space). SSD speed test is great too. All-in-all a good, simple, risk-free and useful app. Pricing is correct.

Let's see: I left a review on 7/20/20 noting that there were 35 other similar "cleaner" apps in addition to Sensei, and that no one who knows Macs recommends of any of them. Fast forward six months or so and much has changed: there are now 75 (yep, that's SEVENTY-FIVE) cleaner apps on MacUpdate that no one recommends. I find the review by "ahmedhatata-ah" on 8/12/20 both amusing and truthful, when he writes, "similar Mac utilities all suck." If Sensei is a "similar Mac utility" it must suck too -- right? (Or am I missing something subtle here?) No matter. The developer, Oskar Groth of Sweden, looks to be a nice chap. I really hope he can turn his talents to something more useful than Sensei. It has to be hard to be in competition with 75 other "me too" products that no Mac user needs. For example, while the "Dashboard" in Sensei looks pretty, the information it contains is readily available either in the System Information or Activity Monitor apps. What's the point? As a courtesy to Mr Groth (assuming he's a real guy -- you never know about these things, and who trusts a website these days?) I'm going to give 3 stars here. It's not 3 stars for Sensei. It's three stars given in the hope that he can come up with a more useful app in the future, to which I can gladly award 5 stars. I look forward to seeing it, sir. -SB

This app has an annoying shortcomin regarding volume names/labels... it doesn't use them! My iMac has two external SSDs attached, both Samsung EVO enclosed in Transcend cases, but with different Volume names so they are easily identifiable in Finder. Sensei insists on referring to both with the device same which is 'Transcend' in both cases making the two drives indistinguishable. Likewise I have two external HDDs in a 2-bay TerraMaster external enclosure configured in 'Single' mode each HDD having it's own unique volume name (and Mount point). Again, Sensei insists on referring to both simply as 'TerraMaster' meaning I can't tell from the name which is which. Doesn't appear to be any way to change what the Dashboard displays which limits the appeal of this software.

This application is an outstanding tool that I use , the most convenient, reliable and safe Mac utility that I have ever come across , the only app that doesn’t automatically delete unnecessary files from system like others but let me review and delete manually to assure what I am deleting, stunning UI crafted , it let me see CPU load , login items and chases with detailed battery information, highly recommend it as similar Mac utilities all suck , I really enjoy having this tool on my Mac 
