We always strive to deliver powerful and state-of-the-art products that improve the lives of our users. To be able to focus all our efforts on exciting new projects and updates, we needed to make some important changes. One of them has been announced earlier — we've ended support for earlier macOS versions.
Apple doesn't support older macOS versions, which makes them vulnerable to exploits. We can't guarantee that our products will run smoothly on unsupported macOS versions. That's why we've made a decision to stop developing CleanMyMac Classic, Gemini Classic, and CleanMyMac 3.
The reasons we are doing this
Since April 2023, we no longer sell, update and develop CleanMyMac Classic, Gemini Classic, and CleanMyMac 3. Ending the development of older software versions allows us to invest more time and resources in enhancing our current products and creating cutting-edge Mac functionality.
CleanMyMac X and Gemini 2 are the newest available versions of the older CleanMyMac Classic, CleanMyMac 3, and Gemini Classic. We recommend using the latest software versions that get regular updates, improvements, and security patches. Moreover, CleanMyMac X is packed with efficient tools to optimize any Mac and fix all issues a newer macOS may bring.
What it means for CleanMyMac Classic and Gemini Classic users
The latest versions of CleanMyMac Classic and Gemini Classic are fully functional, and you can continue using them on Macs running OS X 10.4 Tiger — OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Your purchased licenses also remain effective.
There's a way to download CleanMyMac Classic and Gemini Classic if you've bought a license before. Visit this page to find CleanMyMac Classic, Gemini Classic, and other discontinued products.
However, please remember that CleanMyMac Classic and Gemini Classic may run slower or behave unexpectedly, and we might be unable to help. You should only download and use discontinued apps at your own risk.
What happens to CleanMyMac 3?
We are ending the development of CleanMyMac 3 along with CleanMyMac Classic and Gemini Classic.
CleanMyMac 3 continues to work on OS X Mavericks 10.9 — macOS 10.13 High Sierra, but there won’t be any updates. You can use the full functionality of the app if you’ve purchased a license before.
Please, keep in mind that we won't be adding any new features or releasing bug fixes and improvements for this version of CleanMyMac 3. We advise you to upgrade to CleanMyMac X if possible.
