CNET Editors' review
It's a good idea to do all you can to keep your smooth-running machine performing optimally. One way to keep things orderly is to remove excess clutter and debris. Macaroni manages and automates the regular system clean-up processes of your Mac. It performs both standard Unix maintenance tasks and maintenance specific to Mac OS X. We love that you can install it and forget it, and that you have a lot of control over when and how Macaroni executes tasks (for example, by not running when you're on battery power on a laptop).
There's no stand-alone application, so you can access Macaroni through a System Preferences pane. From cleaning up old temp files and installer logs to removing language-specific localized files from applications, Macaroni's automatic clean-up routines are sure to recover and save valuable disk space. In addition to running maintenance tasks and cleaning out localized files, Macaroni is also a great way to create and schedule custom tasks, making this app a much better value for more advanced users.
Publisher's Description
From Atomic Bird:
Macaroni is a tool that handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X, including the Mac OS X repair-privileges process and Unix-style maintenance. Some of these tasks normally run in the middle of the night-- and don't get run unless you leave your Mac on all night. Others don't run automatically at all and won't happen unless you remember when they're due. Macaroni remembers the schedule for you, running these maintenance tasks on a regular schedule, regardless of when your Mac is on. If a scheduled maintenance task is not run when it's normally scheduled, Macaroni automatically ensures that it's run at the next opportunity, whenever the Mac is on.
Version 2.0.7 fixes numerous minor bugs and is a free upgrade to all registered users.

After I downloaded macaroni (which took a while cos my mac was so slow), I ran all the programs, restarted the computer and voila! Almost as good as the day I bought my mac. Highly recommend it.

No cons that I could see.
