Tuhi, your storage assistant · What Tuhi knows

\n

Can Tuhi tell me if now is a good time for a tidy-up?

\n

Short answer: Yes. Tuhi checks free space, memory, processor load and temperature before suggesting a tidy-up. On Low Power Mode or during heavy work it's fine to wait, since the safe parts can run in Quiet Hours.

\n

Yes. Before suggesting a tidy-up, Tuhi looks at how your Mac is doing right now — free space, memory, processor load and temperature. If memory is tight, freeing space can actually ease the load; if you're on Low Power Mode or in the middle of something heavy, it's fine to wait, because the safe parts can also run during Quiet Hours.
