MainMenu has one-click functionality for repairing permissions, rebuilding your Spotlight library, cleaning system, user, and browser caches, force emptying the trash, and more.
You can set up multiple tasks to run in a batch process, with the option to shut down or restart your computer after the maintenance tasks are completed.
MainMenu includes more advanced tasks as well, such as the ability to disable the dashboard, securely empty the trash, and clean archived logs. MainMenu supports Growl notifications as well.
