history
Project history and usage
Memory Meter 3 is FIPLAB's macOS menu-bar memory monitor and cleaning utility, previously named Memory Clean 3.
Project history
Memory Meter 3 is the current name of FIPLAB's Memory Clean 3, a macOS menu-bar utility for viewing memory use and pressure and releasing inactive memory.
In 2019 FIPLAB made Memory Clean 3 exclusive to direct distribution, explaining that this allowed faster updates and features unavailable under Mac App Store sandboxing. In February 2026 the company renamed it Memory Meter 3 and changed its direct-update delivery.
Adoption history
FIPLAB reported millions of users across Memory Clean 1 and 2 when it directed that installed base toward its direct-distribution releases in 2019. Memory Clean 3 became the succeeding paid generation and was later renamed Memory Meter 3.
How it is used
Users keep the application in the menu bar to view used or free memory, memory pressure, and memory-heavy applications, and to trigger manual or automatic memory cleaning.
Why package nerds care
The application represents the long-running macOS category of compact menu-bar resource monitors. Its transition from the Mac App Store to direct distribution also illustrates how cask packaging can keep independently distributed desktop utilities convenient to install.
Timeline
- 2019: FIPLAB moved Memory Clean 3 to direct distribution and encouraged users of earlier Memory Clean releases to migrate.
- 2026: Memory Clean 3 was renamed Memory Meter 3.
Related projects
- Memory Meter 3 succeeds Memory Clean and Memory Clean 2. Other FIPLAB system utilities include Battery Health 3, Disk Doctor Pro, and Disk Aid.
