    Optimising performance with EtreCheckPro and Ulbow
    hoakley April 14, 2021 Macs, Technology May 30, 2025

    https://eclecticlight.co/2021/04/14/optimising-performance-with-etrecheckpro-and-ulbow/

    //You’re probably familiar with EtreCheck, the free app which is commonly used in Apple Community Support forums to help diagnose problems, but
    have you paid for its Pro features? If you want to get the best
    performance from your Mac, that’s money well-spent.

    Among the additional features which are enabled when you make the in-app purchase is a superb graphical view of recently collected analytics
    data. Select the Performance item at the left (only enabled in the Pro version), scroll down until you reach the Analytics section, and click
    on the button to show the analytics chart.//

    =

    Howard Oakley was speaking above about an "in-App" purchase; that was at
    a time when EtreCheck had been vetted by Apple and was available from
    the Apple App Store. That, of course, is no longer the case.

    Does anyone reading here actually *USE* the EtreCheck software and enjoy interaction with the developer?

    =

    There a question, too, about it possibly being "Malware"!

    Yes, we all use it and it works fine. We all have very nice relationships
    with him.

    Only from you. Therefore it does not count.

    As always, my thoughts are that you are insane.

    This has already been resolved. There is no malware present in the software. You have already confirmed that you continue to infer that's not the case because the author will not engage with you. You are once again, knowingly dishonestly, sliming the product.

    Let’s dial things back a bit!

    I’ve raised legitimate technical concerns about the permissions
    EtreCheck requires, especially Full Disk Access. It’s standard practice
    to be cautious about granting such extensive access to any third-party
    tool — especially one that sends data online and whose author refuses to engage with paying users.

    Asking whether Full Disk Access might leave a system vulnerable is
    entirely reasonable. It’s not an accusation — it’s a question.

    If the software is safe and well-designed, it should be able to stand up
    to scrutiny without personal attacks, dismissals, or accusations of “libel.” I note you didn’t answer the question, just deflected with indignation.

    So, again, I ask:-

    Once EtreCheck has Full Disk Access, what technical protections are in
    place to prevent misuse — deliberate or accidental?

    If you can answer that constructively, I’m listening.

    I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

    That’s a colourful turn of phrase, but it does rather underline my point: when faced with a fair and reasonable technical question, you choose to respond with personal abuse instead of facts.

    I have been entirely open about who I am and what I’ve done.
    I’m asking a straightforward question about John Daniel’s professional history and the transparency of EtreCheck — because transparency builds trust, and the lack of it erodes it.

    If you, or anyone else, can explain why:

    No clear public record exists of Mr. Daniel’s other professional work,

    There is no independent audit of what EtreCheck collects and sends, despite requiring Full Disk Access,

    …then by all means, enlighten me.

    Until then, insults don’t change the fact that I’m asking the same question many cautious Mac users are entitled to ask.

    Yes, there is. LOTS of people have looked into this. There is nothing wrong with it.

    Being "enlightened" means you have to listen to people who are answering your questions.

    OTOH, stalking/harrassing/libeling/slandering means you ignore the answers to your "questions".

    Hi Tyrone,

    Thanks for your reply.

    You mentioned that lots of people have looked into EtreCheck and found
    nothing wrong. Could you please clarify who these people are — whether
    they are independent security experts, privacy advocates, or reputable organizations? Also, WHY have they investigated EtreCheck? For example,
    was it due to user concerns, audits, or security reviews?

    Having this information would really help build confidence for cautious
    users like me.

    I appreciate your help and any details you can provide.

    Best regards,
    David B.

    to be abused by you later) with you of any kind. Stop attempting to slime legitimate software, David. You're a real piece of shit.

    Have you even /bothered/ to investigate him?!!

    WTF? Why would I 'investigate' him? After the outright bullshit you tried to feed me about those servers you wanted me to break into - you actually think I'd take anything you write about another person, company, or site, at face value? - And check into it/them based on your writings? And, After all the bullshit snit has written about me that you went well out of your way to
    give him cover for? To the point of agreeing with his known bullshit list about me...

    I've already told you, David Brooks, I will happily mock you, possibly even taunt you on occasion. But! I won't intentionally help you with any
    technical query until further notice. I have determined you didn't
    appreciate the help when it was offered based on how you've acted towards me. As a result, I will not help you further.

    I did make it much easier some years back when I taught you about .NFO files :)

    You did go well out of your way to try and keep such a thing from happening
    to you though. You took deliberate action to have yourself deleted from the digital copies of what we would call a phone book here. Obviously, it didn't help you with me at the end of the day; I still found all the information
    you tried to keep away from me and others. You'd already pissed a lot of people off well before I ever met you. And you took those steps well before
    I met you, because, you have a very strong tendency of provoking people to
    the point where they digitally punch you in the mouth.

    *MY* persona has been depicted on LinkedIn for many, many, years.

    Might as well at that point, especially after that lesson in .NFO files you got. Are those coppers of yours attempting to come get me via canoe? It sure is taking them a long time, David Brooks.

    Please help me understand why none of his other work can be identified.

    Translation: I'm ignoring the fact I've been called out several times now
    for slander, sliming, and, stalking. But, I'm going to continue asking for help in better stalking my victim; all because he did the right thing and stopped communicating with you via email.

    David, did it ever occur to you that someone (not little ol me lol) may have sent him an email chat between yourself and another person where you faked asking for support with their product too? Maybe he noticed some
    similarities in those emails and the ones between you and him. Perhaps, as a result, he realized that you're actually a real life, batshit crazy, cyber stalking, fucktard, who never had any real support queries. You like to get personal with people via email; and you expect them to respond to you in a manner you find timely; fuck their time table, David is more important. Atleast, you think you are.

    Perhaps someone showed him what happens if they do answer all of your emails
    - Maybe they noticed that you attempted to dox someone because you didn't
    like the amount of time it was taking them to respond to you.

    Our email correspondence alone shows what a royal piece of shit you are, and how honest! i've been describing you and what you do. I'm certain that
    others have copies of emails between you and them that are along the same lines, because, you are you and you do the same shit you've been doing for years.

    Someone either needs to place their boot firmly upon your neck and put all
    of their weight on that foot, or sue the ever living shit out of you. Either way, at some point, one must go well outside of usenet to put an end to your idea of fun.

    THAT isn't difficult!

    I did make it much easier some years back when I taught you about .NFO files :)

    You did go well out of your way to try and keep such a thing from happening to you though. You took deliberate action to have yourself deleted from the digital copies of what we would call a phone book here. Obviously, it didn't help you with me at the end of the day; I still found all the information
    you tried to keep away from me and others. You'd already pissed a lot of people off well before I ever met you. And you took those steps well before
    I met you, because, you have a very strong tendency of provoking people to the point where they digitally punch you in the mouth.

    *MY* persona has been depicted on LinkedIn for many, many, years.

    Might as well at that point, especially after that lesson in .NFO files you got. Are those coppers of yours attempting to come get me via canoe? It sure is taking them a long time, David Brooks.

    Please help me understand why none of his other work can be identified.

    Translation: I'm ignoring the fact I've been called out several times now
    for slander, sliming, and, stalking. But, I'm going to continue asking for help in better stalking my victim; all because he did the right thing and stopped communicating with you via email.

    David, did it ever occur to you that someone (not little ol me lol) may have sent him an email chat between yourself and another person where you faked asking for support with their product too? Maybe he noticed some
    similarities in those emails and the ones between you and him. Perhaps, as a result, he realized that you're actually a real life, batshit crazy, cyber stalking, fucktard, who never had any real support queries. You like to get personal with people via email; and you expect them to respond to you in a manner you find timely; fuck their time table, David is more important. Atleast, you think you are.

    Perhaps someone showed him what happens if they do answer all of your emails - Maybe they noticed that you attempted to dox someone because you didn't like the amount of time it was taking them to respond to you.

    Our email correspondence alone shows what a royal piece of shit you are, and how honest! i've been describing you and what you do. I'm certain that
    others have copies of emails between you and them that are along the same lines, because, you are you and you do the same shit you've been doing for years.

    Someone either needs to place their boot firmly upon your neck and put all
    of their weight on that foot, or sue the ever living shit out of you. Either way, at some point, one must go well outside of usenet to put an end to your idea of fun.

    Alan,

    Your personal opinion of me is noted, but irrelevant to the point at hand.

    You still haven’t addressed the core question:
    Why is there no publicly verifiable record of other commercial software products by John Daniel, despite his claimed history of such work?

    If you believe the answer exists, simply cite your sources so we can all examine them.
    If you don’t have an answer, that’s fine too — but personal abuse isn’t
    a substitute for evidence.

    Hi Tyrone,

    Thanks for your reply.

    You mentioned that lots of people have looked into EtreCheck and found nothing wrong.

    Why don't YOU mention the people who HAVE found ANYTHING wrong with EtreCheck?
    YOU are the one making the allegations. It is up to YOU to prove them. Because everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around.

    Don't you think that people at Apple have looked into this? Don't you think that people at the various Apple support forums (where you have been banned) have looked into this? Why else would EVERYONE recommend EtreCheck? Even your former hero Howard Oakley.

    You are the ONLY person questioning EtreCheck. Over and over and over. You
    are obsessed with it. Yet you don't question any other software. You don't
    know any of the people who wrote any of the software you use daily. Yet you presume all of that software and all of those people to be innocent.

    Why is that? Just because an innocent person (the author of EtreCheck) is avoiding a stalker (you)?

    AGAIN, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around.

    Tyrone,

    I’m not asking anyone to “prove guilt” — I’m asking for verifiable facts.

    If “lots of people” have audited EtreCheck, then please name those
    people, link to their findings, and make their methodology public so
    others can confirm.

    Without independent, transparent sources, saying “everyone recommends
    it” is just an appeal to popularity — it’s not the same as a technical audit.

    That’s the whole point: clear, documented evidence would settle the

    The distinction is that I’m questioning software and its developer in
    the context of user security — not making remarks about someone’s
    personal worth.

    If you think my concerns about EtreCheck are equivalent to a personal
    insult, then please address that directly by showing why the security
    concerns are unfounded, with evidence.

    That way, we stay focused on verifiable facts rather than trading

    Being "enlightened" means you have to listen to people who are answering your

    Hi Tyrone,

    Thanks for your reply.

    You mentioned that lots of people have looked into EtreCheck and found >>>> nothing wrong.

    Why don't YOU mention the people who HAVE found ANYTHING wrong with EtreCheck?
    YOU are the one making the allegations. It is up to YOU to prove them. >>> Because everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way
    around.

    Don't you think that people at Apple have looked into this? Don't you think
    that people at the various Apple support forums (where you have been banned)
    have looked into this? Why else would EVERYONE recommend EtreCheck? Even your
    former hero Howard Oakley.

    You are the ONLY person questioning EtreCheck. Over and over and over. You >>> are obsessed with it. Yet you don't question any other software. You don't >>> know any of the people who wrote any of the software you use daily. Yet you >>> presume all of that software and all of those people to be innocent.

    Why is that? Just because an innocent person (the author of EtreCheck) is >>> avoiding a stalker (you)?

    AGAIN, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way
    around.

    Tyrone,

    I’m not asking anyone to “prove guilt” — I’m asking for verifiable facts.

    WE ARE DEMANIND FOR YOU TO PROVE GUILT. Because YOU are claiming guilt WITHOUT "verifiable facts".

    That’s the whole point: clear, documented evidence would settle the
    question far better than personal assumptions about my motives.

    Yes, it is. So why are you alleging guilt without "clear, documented evidence"?

    And we all know your personal motives. No assumptions necessary.

    Tyrone,

    I’m not alleging “guilt” — I’m pointing out that claims of independent
    audits are being made without any cited names, reports, or methodologies
    that others can verify.

    If you or anyone else can point to a public, third-party technical audit
    of EtreCheck’s code or data handling, please link it. That’s all I’ve asked for from the start.

    Presumption of innocence in law is not the same as bypassing basic due diligence in software security — especially for a tool with Full Disk Access.

    Until those sources are cited, “lots of people have looked at it”
    remains an unverified assertion, not evidence.

    *Do you understand*?

Did you ever convince someone to 'prove you wrong' and do exactly what you wanted using this ruse? I can't think of a single time, as a child, that such a thing ever worked on me.
    Even as a kid, I wasn't that gullible. So sorry. :)

    DOZENS - since I was banned simply for asking searching questions!

    FFS. You weren't banned for that. You were repeatedly banned for violating forum policies. Your idea of asking searching questions is a sad joke.

    When are you going to learn that you don't have the right to access
    gear you do not own without permission? That you are infact, a fucking
    guest on such networks and your permission to use them can be revoked
    at any time. When are you going to learn to respect anothers property
    David?

    Ah! I was told it's OK to reinvent oneself by one of the gurus there - BDAqua.

    I'm sure you misunderstood what you were actually told, David. I seriously doubt any 'guru' there would suggest to you, or anyone else, that it's okay
    to violate forum policies and get banned only to create new ones. There wouldn't be any point in having any policies in the first place if that was the case.

    He's the powerhouse behind this BBS board:-

    https://www.x704.net/bbs/index.php?sid=bf2c01040ee9f70040165727b8326d57

    BBS? ROFL. You probably wouldn't know how to navigate an actual board. *IF* you ever used one in the first place.

    Maybe you should explore there and dig up the truth!

    I've already disected the product you have an issue with, and as with the servers you lied to me about, found nothing amiss with it. I've told you
    this, several times. You ignore that, because it doesn't support the stories you like to spread about the software via your questions implying it's malicious. You and snit have that bullshit down pat.

    Hi Tyrone,

    Thanks for your reply.

    You mentioned that lots of people have looked into EtreCheck and found >>>>> nothing wrong.

    Why don't YOU mention the people who HAVE found ANYTHING wrong with
    EtreCheck?
        YOU are the one making the allegations. It is up to YOU to prove >>>> them.
    Because everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.  Not the
    other way
    around.

    Don't you think that people at Apple have looked into this?  Don't
    you think
    that people at the various Apple support forums (where you have been
    banned)
    have looked into this?  Why else would EVERYONE recommend EtreCheck? >>>> Even your
    former hero Howard Oakley.

    You are the ONLY person questioning EtreCheck.  Over and over and
    over. You
    are obsessed with it. Yet you don't question any other software. You
    don't
    know any of the people who wrote any of the software you use daily.
    Yet you
    presume all of that software and all of those people to be innocent.

    Why is that?  Just because an innocent person (the author of
    EtreCheck) is
    avoiding a stalker (you)?

    AGAIN, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.  Not the
    other way
    around.

    Tyrone,

    I’m not asking anyone to “prove guilt” — I’m asking for verifiable
    facts.

    WE ARE DEMANIND FOR YOU TO PROVE GUILT.   Because YOU are claiming guilt >> WITHOUT "verifiable facts".

    That’s the whole point: clear, documented evidence would settle the
    question far better than personal assumptions about my motives.

    Yes, it is. So why are you alleging guilt without "clear, documented
    evidence"?

    And we all know your personal motives.  No assumptions necessary.

    Tyrone,

    I’m not alleging “guilt” — I’m pointing out that claims of independent
    audits are being made without any cited names, reports, or methodologies
    that others can verify.

    If you or anyone else can point to a public, third-party technical audit
    of EtreCheck’s code or data handling, please link it. That’s all I’ve asked for from the start.

    Presumption of innocence in law is not the same as bypassing basic due diligence in software security — especially for a tool with Full Disk Access.

    Until those sources are cited, “lots of people have looked at it”
    remains an unverified assertion, not evidence.

    *Do you understand*?

    *BUMP*

    Perhaps you will categorically confirm that once one has given EtreCheck >>> "Full Disk Access" one has *NOT* left an open backdoor?

    This nonsense has already been covered as well. I asked you several times

    Etrecheck is clean. Use it or don't use it.

    What about "John Daniel" - is HE "clean"?

    Fair point — not having read a particular MacRumors thread doesn’t in itself prove anything about your Apple knowledge. I only asked because MacRumors is, in my view, the go-to Mac forum, and I was curious if
    you’d seen the relevant discussion there.

    That said, in a thread about EtreCheck and Ulbow, it’s fair to ask
    whether contributors have first-hand Apple experience to back their
    opinions. My focus is on the facts — software behaviour, developer background, and security implications — not personalities.

    Bully for you.

    You're a lying piece of shit, so what you say you are doing
    doesn't matter at all.

    Just whose sock-puppet are you, dear boy?


    No one's, you lying sack of shit.

    I don't lie about anything, laddie! :-P

    You're lying about that.

    And don't you just hate that.

    I'd very much like to know which post(s) you, personally, made in
    THIS thread!
    https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/is-etrecheck-safe-to-use-
    and-is-
    this-safe-place-to-download.2034144/page-2

    Do tell!

    Sure. I've never seen that thread or to my best recollection ever
    posted anything on those forums.

    Do you know ANYTHING about Apple software?!!!

    Or hardware?!!!
    How do you get that response from the fact that I haven't read a
    particular thread on a not particularly important forum?

    Alan,

    Fair point — not having read a particular MacRumors thread doesn’t in itself prove anything about your Apple knowledge. I only asked because MacRumors is, in my view, the go-to Mac forum, and I was curious if
    you’d seen the relevant discussion there.

    Yeah, but you're view means precisely jack shit.


    That said, in a thread about EtreCheck and Ulbow, it’s fair to ask
    whether contributors have first-hand Apple experience to back their
    opinions. My focus is on the facts — software behaviour, developer background, and security implications — not personalities.

    Wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

    Remember that.

    How long before you dragged Nick into it? Wait, never mind!

    Because he is ignorant of computers (admitted he's on a basic user),
    thinks he has stumbled on something new / different / suppocious and
    because of his general ignorance on the subject, is now on a crusade set
    by his imaginary controller to 'do something about the bad man', not
    realising this scenario is very similar to the vast majority of software
    out there he uses every day (well, in his case, only of a's a very
    simple WP and eSudoku ).

    > Based on what?

    Nothing at all.

    Just
    because YOU personally don't like him?
    I'm sure that's part but he doesn't really know himself, in the same way
    he doesn't know the Police keep taking him home when he's find in the
    local town with no trousers and shouting at pigeons.

    Back in 2014 I was happily helping him *test* his product. I still have copies of our email correspondence!

    So? That gives you the right to "investigate" him now?

    Utterly irrelevant.

    Greedy? How much money do you think he is making from this tiny niche
    product? If this was for Windows, he might be making some money, since
    Windows has boatloads of problems. But software to help track down problems
    on Macs? That is the definition of niche product.

    BTW, his reply is a perfectly reasonable response to someone who was obviously clueless.

    And even if he IS "greedy", what does that have to do with your insane "It's Malware!" crusade?
