# Mac Maintenance

Clear the small chores off your Mac in one go

## What this does

There is a set of small tidy-up jobs on a Mac that you keep meaning to do and keep not doing. This runs them: bringing Homebrew packages up to date, pulling the code checkouts that have no uncommitted work, and emptying the Trash. Reach for it when your machine has been drifting out of date.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Update and upgrade your Homebrew packages
- Pull the repos that have nothing in progress
- Empty the Trash

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Mac Maintenance safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Mac Maintenance and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 5dc3c2435ba7, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/mac-maintenance.
