About EtreCheckPro
EtreCheckPro is a macOS diagnostic utility that scans your system and generates a detailed, human-readable report covering hardware, RAM, disk health, startup items, browser extensions, kernel extensions, and crashed background processes. It identifies common issues like failing drives, adware, runaway processes, and missing Time Machine backups, and formats all findings for easy sharing on Apple Support Communities. It is a reporting tool only — it does not repair or optimize your Mac. Both the standard and Pro versions are free, with a Power User in-app purchase for additional capabilities.
