Socks 1.3.7

Socks is a powerful troubleshooting, maintenance, optimization, and customization utility for Mac OS X. Many utility apps are packed to the gills with trivial or useless features, but not Socks. Socks gives you the features you want and need without the feature bloat you don’t. Not only is Socks just the right mix for modern Mac maintenance, it’s also wonderfully designed inside and out and has several practical and unique pleasantries to make your maintenance experience as smooth as possible.

Socks allows you to:
Troubleshoot odd behavior, crashes, and the “spinning beach ball.”
Maintain data structures relied on by the system/applications to keep them running safely and smoothly.
Optimize system settings to improve performance, save hard drive space, and conserve RAM.
Customize your system to better fit your needs.
