  - "Run Tuhi on Low Power Mode?"
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."

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

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.

Either way the routine is gentle and reversible, and you can close its progress view while it keeps working in the background.
