Win A Copy Of MacPilot or MacCleanse

Win A Copy Of MacPilot or MacCleanse 136

Competition

Hey

Its been a couple of weeks since we have last done a competition, so it sounds like I should do another one. This one is slightly different as I am offering up two different apps courtesy of Koingo. As a winner you get to chose the one you want. There are 2 copies of MacPilot and 2 copies of MacCleanse up for grabs. As usual the competition will last a week, all you have to do is leave a comment.

The Apps

A brief introduction to the apps themselves. MacPilot is designed to find all of those little secret bits in the system which you can change. These are usually the ones you have to access with Terminal. MacPilot can do all of theses changes plus a whole load more automatically for you. If you like customizing your Mac, this program is for you.

MacCleanse is designed to purfiy your system as the authors have put it. If you want to put your Mac on a botox diet MacCleanse will clean log files, caches and other system places to make sure your Mac is squeaky clean. Both applications are really useful for keeping your Mac upto speed.

The Competition

As usual the competition rules are really simple. All you need to do is leave a comment, please mention clearly which program you would like to win, if you don’t I will pick one for you. You have a week to enter this competition so you better get your entry in quick. The last competition had over 90 responses. The rule, to clarify:

One entry per person, all you have to do is leave any comment, please don’t spam the comment box.
You will only win one license.
When leaving a comment please leave a valid email address so I can contact you.
Please say which application you would like to win
The draw will last a week and will finish 2nd of Dec at 10pm (or if I am out a little later)
Please write a proper sentence in your entry, otherwise my spam filter will catch it and your entry will not be recorded.
The winner will be chosen at random using a random number generator. You comment number is your entry number.
My decision is final. You can plead your case, but I say what goes.

Good luck.

Hi, its interesting competition, love u guys. I’d like to have the Maccleanse please, since I don’t really need to tweak my Macbook for now , on top of that, its running silky smooth, no need for that like Window and I’m new into Macintosh, really dont want to mess into terminal before i know what i do (well, to be fare, there is Time Machine to back me up, another great feature from Mac, way better than back up from Window).

MacPilot would be great, would be my earlier Turkey and Christmas Present, Because you know ilovemyMacpilot, I mean Macapps (;

Hello and thanks for the generous offer. I too like this column and have used it to the best of my ability (not huge). It’s a good resource.
My computer is going slower and slower and I know I have duplicates and all kinds of useless files (which I don’t even know about). I would bet about a third of my computer is clogged with “stuff” that MacCleanse would fix/clean up.
Keep up the good work (and your grades 8^)).

Comment By Matt on November 26th, at 4:12 am

Terminal scares me – although you give very clear instructions in your newsletter, it feels a bit overwhelming to me as a relatively inexperienced mac user. So MacPilot’s worth to me (and I’m sure many more like me) is extraordinary!
Thanks:)

I’ve always liked small software companies like Koingo or Panic. I will hopefully set one up when I finish university. It just sounds like such good fun. There is nothing like programming and solving the problems it brings up. It is a challenge every day.

My MacBook Pro and I don’t know what’s hidden on it and MacCleanse will be very welcome. My MacBook Pro is running well but it don’t hurt to give it a check up.

Hey !

i didn’t know i could comment your newsletters !
and win Apps by so doing
what a great deal !

i must thank you for your newsletters, i keep most of them for future reference, when they do not specifically apply to my level of computer
knowledge and avidly, i read the ones that seem to matter in the present.

they are always very helpful and although i do not remember how exactly
it was that i became aware of your services and became a subscriber…
i am certainly glad i did and i compliment you on your indefatigable
mission towards little computer morons like me who are in need of a
Home Visiting Doctor like you

you may not always have the right thermometer or the right pill
but i’m sure a lot of us are always glad to see you point your nose
at the window to check on, whoever might be feverish or stuck
under the bed !!

Win or No
i thank you again and wish you Great Health and Godspeed

Stay Cool Man !

Ciao

Hi!
I’d like to get MacCleanse. I’m a fresh mac-user. I have switched from Win to Mac OS recently. I used to use CCleaner on my Win laptop and it will be fine alternative to use MacCleanse on my iMac ;)

I’ve been using both programs for years, along with Koingo products. Love them! I love MacPilot and MacCleanse, but Data Guardian is my favorite. I can easily and securely keep track of software serial numbers and Website logins and passwords. Whoever wins this should check out all the Koingo programs.

Comment By Mihla on November 26th, at 6:30 pm

These look like a really good couple of applications. I’m a regular user of Onyx and these two applications look a lot more powerful and easier to use, they would make a great combination.

For me, on balance, MacPilot would be more useful.

MacCleanse – the discreet, professional way to take care of your Mac Hygiene requirements. Ensure maximum comfort and hygiene for your iMac, Macbook, Macbook Pro.

Cue the visual – imagine your (insert your Mac platform here) gently running through a field of tall grasses and wild flowers.

Fade the Logo – As your (insert your Mac platform here) pauses to enjoy it’s new clean feeling the logo gently fades in.

Aaaaaahhh.

I would love to win a copy of MacCleanse. Oh! and head up their ad department….

Been reading for a while, but first time commenter. Just got my first mac this summer, a Mini. Thanks for the site, it’s been a help.

I’d like to know how dependable MacCleanse is. Can one depend on it to NOT remove important files?

MacCleanse the one for me.
Treasure my MacBook Pro so want it in pristine condition always.

Two really great apps here. If I won I would like to have, MacPilot. Hope I get a chance to have a copy! :)
Love the site! I come along everyday to see whats new. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for mac tips.

I wish you great success and I hope you keep up the excellent work!

Hi!

both programs sound absolutely fantastic, I could really use both. But, since I’m obsessed with customizing I’m gonna have to go with MacPilot. (This was a really, really hard decision, since I’m also a disk space freak…)

Thanks!

Not sure what exactly is this competition all about. I’m guessing you’re looking for hits, but you could spice it up a bit by proposing a topic on which to comment about. I’m more into human language than programming (not that I like the first more though) so I wouldn’t know if this idea is appealing to you.

in any case… I could use the McCleanse App :)

Comment By emeterio on November 28th, at 2:08 am

I WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH MACCLEANSE BECAUSE THE CUSTOMIZATION THAT MACPILOT USES IS USELESS TOO ME I CAN DO THAT THE LONG WAY SO I WOULD LOVE TO USE THE MACCLEANSE BEFORE I WOULD GO WITH MACPILOT JUST MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCH TO HOW GREAT THE TIPS ARE LOVE IT KEEP EM COMING

after using pcs for over 10 years i shifted to a mac. now i’m a regular mac user and have your widget on my dashboard. i would go with the MACCLEANSE because i dont really feel the necessity of customizing the mac.. it serves the purposes it was bought for perfectly. i could do with a bit more speed once in a while though. so your tips and tricks are very helpful! thanks!

Hi, I’d like the MacPilot version to win.
I like your tips & tricks, because they’re a little more sofisticated than others.
But some things are way too far out for me, for instance: terminal tips.
Is there a good book to learn terminal?
thanks

I really like both of the applications but I just like MacPilot a bit more because I love customizing everything on mac.

Although both looks cool, I would prefer MacPilot. I love what you do! It’s cool, it’s useful, (and it’s time consuming… for people like people who spend hours on this site).
