A doctor for your Mac
It's always annoying when your brand new Mac starts to slow down slightly on shut downs and startups and certain instabilities become more frequent.
Checkup is designed for giving your Mac a well deserved checkup to see if everything is optimized and functioning as it should be. It covers just about everything from RAM readouts to the speed of your processor so if there is a problem, Checkup should find it. Installation is straightforward although because CheckUp scans deep into your Mac, you have to enter your admin password to allow it access to your hard drive. You've also got to restart which is a bit annoying.
The first thing you notice is that the interface is extremely well designed and elegant making the best of everything that Leopard has to offer. It's very easy to browse through the main features which you'll find as large tabs at the top of the app. CheckUp analyses networks, disks, systems and processors and it supports Growl alerts for when it's completed checking-up.
The litmus test of any app like this though is has your Mac's performance improved after using it? It's hard to tell after using CheckUp whether your Mac is operating more quickly and smoothly but it certainly doesn't seem to do any harm, and hey, it looks great.
Checkup is a great monitoring utility that brings together several disk checking apps into one very elegant interface.

I must learn more with time (about the app). Don`t have time to review the entire video to see all the options supported by CheckUp and full functions for my Mac. More

CheckUp 2.6 and new CheckUp 3.0.1.
Further to my previous comment above, have been told that if you have the old CheckUp Version 2 it can be deleted through a menu option. I backed into this via trouble shooting and had deleted the program before I found this out.The company's name was changed to adnXnew on June 1, 2011. The brand new Version 3.0.1 is an Upgrade and must be purchased. There is presently a discounted price via MacUpdate and is well worth the price as it has major new features. A great manual can be downloaded before you buy if you want to see all the details.I have been running it for three days and love it! More

Suggest This Be Checked Out!.
This program appears to be causing trouble on 24" iMac OSX 10.6.8 and found the following. First noticed the problem as repeating checkup/app4mac "exits" in Console. See -http://tech.karbassi.com/2008/01/03/checkup-how-to-uninstall/ More

Checkup beta.
Sorry, I lost the email address I normally write to. It seems my latest upgrade of Thunderbird conflicts with Checkup. When I click "reply", I get a blank reply window with no address, subject or copied message; neither can I write in it. As soon as I quit Checkup, all that information appears. More
