Using Jesora Optima

Getting started

Jesora Optima keeps a computer and a phone clean and quick. Scans only look: nothing is removed until you choose it, and you see every item and its size first.

What you need

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or macOS 12 or later
• Android 8 or later, or iOS 15 or later on iPhone and iPad

Install on Windows

1. Download the installer and run it. Optima installs for your user and starts by itself.
2. The first scan runs from the Overview tab. Give it a minute; you can keep working.

Install on a Mac

1. Open the downloaded disk image and drag Jesora Optima to Applications.
2. Open it from Applications. To let it see the caches of Mail, Messages and Safari, choose Grant access on the Clean tab, turn on Full Disk Access for Jesora Optima in System Settings, then reopen Optima.

Free, the 7-day trial and Premium

Every new install gets every feature for 7 days, with no card needed. After that Optima moves to the Free plan by itself: the health check, the quick clean of safe junk, and every finder keep working. Premium unlocks the tools that remove or change things in depth; they carry the Premium tag in this guide and in the app.

Overview and Smart Care

Overview is the first tab. Smart Care runs every check in one go, with a live percentage and the file it is looking at: cleanup, protection (unwanted programs and missing security updates), performance, apps and clutter.

1. Choose Scan. The health score fills in as each check finishes.
2. Open the reasons under the score to see what lowered it.
3. Choose Fix. On Free it clears the safe junk; Premium also applies the speed-ups it found.

The same tab shows live memory and processor use, so you can see what Boost changes.

Clean: junk and privacy

1. On the Clean tab choose Look for junk. The quick scan checks temporary files, browser and app caches, crash reports and old logs.
2. Tick what you want to clear; each row shows its size. Then choose Clean.
3. Files an app is still using are skipped and left as they are. Close the app and clean again to get them.

Deep clean Premium

Adds Windows Update leftovers, old installers, update leftovers and developer caches (npm, pip, Gradle, VS Code and more). Every app rebuilds these by itself.

Privacy Premium

Clears browser history for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox, and cookies only if you tick them, plus recent-files lists. Saved passwords and bookmarks are never touched. Close the browser first.

Daily auto-clean Premium

Turn on Daily auto-clean and pick a time. It clears the safe junk once a day, even while Optima is closed (a Task Scheduler task on Windows, a launch agent on a Mac), and skips the run on battery and while you game or present. The card shows when it last ran and what it freed.

Boost: memory and startup

One-tap Boost Premium

Frees memory that idle apps are holding, clears temporary files and refreshes the network cache, with memory use before and after. It never closes the apps you are using.

Close heavy apps Premium

Lists the apps using the most memory. Pick the ones to close; Optima asks before each one, so nothing unsaved is lost by surprise.

Startup apps Premium

Every app that starts with the computer (on a Mac: login items and launch agents), with a switch for each. Switching one off does not uninstall it, and you can switch it back on any time.

Performance advisor, Game Mode and power plan

The advisor lists settings that slow the computer down and why; looking is free, its one-click fixes are Premium. Game Mode and the power plan (Low Power Mode on a Mac) are free.

Maintenance Premium

Flush DNS, free RAM (purgeable space on a Mac), repair system files with DISM and SFC, reset the Microsoft Store, re-index Spotlight and repair Open With. Each tool says what it does before it runs.

Storage: drives, big files, duplicates

• Drives: used and free space and health for each drive, Check for errors and Optimise (TRIM on SSDs, defragment on hard drives).
• Space Lens: folder sizes under your home folder. Click a folder to go deeper, or show it in Explorer or Finder.
• Big files and Duplicates: duplicates are matched by content, not by name. Looking is free; moving the ones you pick to the Recycle Bin or Trash is Premium. One copy of each file is always kept.
• Missing drives: if a USB stick or a drive letter disappeared, Rescan brings it back.
• File shredder Premium: overwrites private files before deleting them, so undelete tools cannot bring them back. Windows folders, installed programs and Optima's own data cannot be shredded. Shredded files do not go to the Recycle Bin: there is no undo.

Apps: uninstall and updates

Every installed app, by size, with what a normal uninstall would leave behind. Search by name or publisher.

Deep uninstall Premium

• Windows: runs the app's own uninstaller (silently where possible), then removes leftover folders, registry entries, services and scheduled tasks. A restore point is made and the registry entries are backed up first.
• Mac: the app goes to the Trash, then its data in your Library, files in /Library, the launch agents and daemons that start its helpers, and its privileged helper tools. Put Back in the Trash undoes it.
• Force remove an app that is open, won't quit or has no uninstaller, and remove several at once.
• A folder that another installed app still uses is never removed.

Preinstalled Windows apps and unwanted programs

Apps that came with Windows can be removed Premium; they can be reinstalled from the Microsoft Store. Programs known to be unwanted (adware, toolbars, bundled extras) are flagged so you can decide.

App updates

Optima asks the Windows Package Manager (winget) on Windows, and Homebrew, the App Store and apps' own update feeds on a Mac, which apps are out of date. Seeing the list is free; updating in one click is Premium.

Settings, theme and quiet mode

Open Settings from the plan card at the bottom of the menu.

• Plan: Free, trial or Premium, when it renews, and your activation code.
• Theme: Auto follows your Windows or macOS setting; or choose light or dark.
• Quiet mode: holds back notices while you game, watch full-screen video or run on battery.
• About: the version, how Optima treats your data, and where to get help.

Android and iPhone

The phone app has four tabs: Home, Clean, Speed and Settings. Your plan is the gold badge at the top right of every page: Upgrade on Free, Premium once bought. The first time you open Optima, a welcome page explains what it does; everything stays on the phone.

Home

The health score and Smart Scan: every check in one go, with a percentage. On Android it covers junk, big files, duplicates, WhatsApp, apps, storage, memory and battery, with one tap to clear junk and app caches. On iPhone it covers photos, storage and battery. Home also shows the space freed so far.

Clean

• Android: one-tap junk (thumbnails, installers, temp and log files, empty folders), then review screens for exact duplicates, similar photos Premium, Telegram downloads, big files, screenshots and old downloads.
• iPhone: screenshots, screen recordings, big videos, exact duplicates, burst leftovers, similar photos Premium and the WhatsApp album; Live Photos to stills; shrink big videos (a smaller copy replaces the original only when it is clearly smaller); big and old files in folders you pick in the Files app; duplicate contacts.
• Every review screen works the same way: grid or list, sort, select all, "older than" shortcuts, press and hold to preview, and a delete bar. Duplicates always keep at least one copy.
• While a clean runs you see a gold sweep, then the real space freed counting up. If nothing was deleted, nothing is shown as freed.

WhatsApp (under Clean)

• Android: media by kind (photos, videos, voice notes, documents and more, including media left behind after WhatsApp was uninstalled), sent and received, a keep-for rule on each row, and Clean now. Also forwarded copies (the oldest is kept), old dated chat backups (the newest is always kept) and WhatsApp's hidden caches.
• Daily auto-clean Premium runs once a day when the battery is not low, and shows its last result.
• By chat Premium: WhatsApp never tells other apps which chat a file came from. Turn on Optima's notification access and it notes each media notification from then on, so each chat gets its own keep-for rule. Muted chats and media from before you turned it on cannot be sorted by chat.
• iPhone: iOS does not let apps touch WhatsApp's files. Optima cleans the WhatsApp album in Photos and gives a step-by-step guide for each chat, with a button to open WhatsApp.
• Cleaning removes media files only, never your messages. A removed photo shows as missing in the chat unless it is in your gallery or WhatsApp backup, so Optima asks first.

Speed

Android: the rocket closes apps idling in the background (Android 13 and older) or clears app caches (Android 14 and later), and shows the memory or space really freed; then a speed check with fixes. Android shares app usage only with apps you allow: turn on Usage access for Optima when asked.
iPhone: iOS does not let any app free another app's memory, so there is no fake boost. The same rocket runs a real check of storage, battery health, heat, Low Power Mode and iOS updates, with the fix for each.

Settings

The gold plan card, reminders (Android: phone almost full, WhatsApp grew by 1 GB) Premium, Apps (Android: size, last used, uninstall, clear cache), Recover, duplicate contacts, permissions (All files access and Usage access on Android), battery, cleaning history, theme, help and about. On iPhone, Free up space leads to what only iOS Settings can do: offload apps, Safari and Messages.

Recover and contacts

On Android, photos, videos and audio removed in Optima wait in the system trash (Android 11 and later), and Recover puts them back. On iPhone, removed photos go to Photos, Albums, Recently Deleted for 30 days. Duplicate contacts with the same name, number or email are merged into one card; each merge is backed up on the phone and can be undone for 30 days.

Permissions on Android

All files access lets Optima find junk outside its own folder; Usage access lets it see which apps are idle and how big they are; notification access is only for WhatsApp by chat. Each is asked for when a feature needs it, and nothing leaves the phone. Android also has a free-space widget for your home screen.

Buying and activating Premium

Windows and Mac

1. Choose Get Premium on this website. India pays ₹199 a year in rupees through Razorpay (UPI, cards, net banking); everywhere else pays US$6.99 a year through PayPal. One licence covers one computer.
2. Your activation code is emailed to you and is always in your account.
3. In Optima, open Settings from the plan card (or choose I have a code when Optima offers Premium), paste the code and choose Activate.
4. Moving to a new computer: remove the old one under My devices in your account, then activate on the new one.
5. Renewal: pay once for a year or let it renew at the same price. Turn renewal off in your account at any time; Premium keeps working until the paid year ends.

Android and iPhone

1. Tap the gold Upgrade badge at the top of any page, or the plan card in Settings.
2. The Premium page shows the price, renewal and how to cancel. Subscribe with Google Play or the App Store (₹199 or US$6.99 a year).

4. Cancel in Google Play, Payments and subscriptions, or on iPhone in Settings, your name, Subscriptions, at least a day before renewal. Phone and computer plans are separate.

Safety and privacy

• Scans only look. Nothing is removed until you choose it.
• Big files, duplicates and leftovers go to the Recycle Bin or Trash where the system allows.
• Windows and macOS system files, shared folders and anything another installed program uses are never removed.
• Before a deep uninstall on Windows, a restore point is made and removed registry entries are backed up.
• Files and scan results never leave your device. Activating Premium on a computer sends only the activation code, a random device id and the computer's name. Phones send nothing: no account, no analytics, no ads, no trackers.
