 - **Deep System Cleanup** - Cleans way more junk than CleanMyMac/Lemon - caches, logs, temp files
 - **Thorough Uninstall** - Scans 22+ locations to remove app leftovers, not just the .app file
+- **System Optimization** - Rebuilds caches, resets services, and trims swap/network cruft with one run
 - **Interactive Disk Analyzer** - Navigate folders with arrow keys, find and delete large files quickly
 - **Fast & Lightweight** - Terminal-based with arrow-key navigation, pagination, and Touch ID support
