My Mac is just a few years old, but it's started running really slow. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm on the lookout for an easy-to-use app that can help clean things up. Ideally, it would be able to clear out junk and old files, free up storage space, remove unused apps, and check for malware or anything that could be slowing it down.

Before you dive into apps, it might be worth figuring out what you mean by 'slow.' Is it the app launch times, file saving, or maybe even internet speed? Also, knowing your Mac's make, model, OS version, and how much free storage you've got could help others give you better advice.
It’s also good to try some common fixes first: delete unneeded apps and files, make sure everything’s updated, and don't forget to reboot your computer every now and then!
Have you checked out Malwarebytes and DaisyDisk? They're pretty popular for finding and removing junk files and malware.
When was the last time you restarted that thing? Sometimes, a simple restart can do wonders for performance!
A lot of times, a corrupt system file is the culprit behind slow performance. The best fix is usually to wipe your machine and do a fresh reinstall. But if you’re looking for apps, I’d recommend Malwarebytes (which has a free version), Cocktail, and DiskInventoryX. They can help manage and clean up your Mac without too much hassle.
