Common causes

Winston solves these problems for you

  1. 01

    Almost no free storage left

    macOS needs headroom. When the disk is nearly full, everything feels sticky. Winston shows where space went before you delete.

  2. 02

    Background apps you forgot about

    Login items and leftover helpers keep working after you stopped caring about them. See and trim what launches at start-up.

  3. 03

    Memory and CPU pressure you cannot interpret

    Home and Explain My Mac translate live readings into a short recommendation instead of a wall of percentages.

  4. 04

    Restarting without learning

    A reboot can feel like a fix. Winston helps you catch the pattern so the slowdown does not become a weekly habit.

Explain My Mac

Ask the question out loud

“Why is it slow?” “What’s using memory?” Answers come from local system information, not a cloud upload of your files.
