System: your computer at a glance

In the desktop app, see how your computer is doing, quit what slows it down and clean up safely.

System is part of Viremail Business, in the desktop app from version 1.0.15. Open System near the bottom of the side bar, or press G then H. In a browser it isn't there: it needs the desktop app to look at your computer.

Health

Cards for the processor (each core too), memory, disks, network, graphics and the battery, with live charts of the last minute. Readings come once a second while System is on screen, and stop while it is hidden, so it costs almost nothing. Only what your computer reports is shown: a Mac doesn't say how busy its graphics are, and some computers have no temperature sensor, so those are left out rather than guessed.

Processes

Everything running, by app or one process at a time. Sort by name, processor, memory or user, and search with /. Quit asks the app to close, so it can ask you to save first. Force quit stops it at once, and anything not saved is lost. Both ask you first. What your computer needs to keep running, other people's processes and Viremail itself show a lock and can't be quit from here.

Cleaner

Press Scan first: nothing is removed until you choose. You see what can go and how much space it takes:

  • App caches, which apps make again when they need them. Anything used in the last hour is left alone.
  • Temporary files older than a day, and logs older than a week.
  • Browser caches for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, Firefox and Safari, only while that browser is closed.
  • Browsing history and cookies, never ticked to begin with, one browser at a time. It signs you out of websites. Passwords, bookmarks and autofill always stay.
  • Viremail's own cache, which it fetches again as you go.
  • Old installers in Downloads (older than 30 days), listed one by one and never ticked to begin with.
  • The Trash (the Recycle Bin on Windows). Emptying it can't be undone. On a Mac, macOS keeps the Trash private unless Viremail has Full Disk Access, so empty it from the Dock.

Tick what should go and press Clean. Everything goes to the Trash, so you can still get it back until the Trash is emptied. Viremail only ever looks in these places, never follows a shortcut to somewhere else, and leaves alone anything in use.

Make it light

See what opens when your computer starts. Viremail's own switch is right there; for other apps, Login Items (Mac) or Startup apps (Windows) opens your system's settings. Below it are the apps using the most memory, each with Quit.
