This year, 25 entries have a chance to win the highest federal award for ecological design. Among them are inventive packaging solutions, novelties from the clothing industry and innovations from niche areas such as fishing. You will find out who the winners are on December 6 at 5 p.m. in a german-speaking live stream. At the same time, the winning entries will be presented in the online gallery on the website of the German Ecodesign Award.

In his presentation Oleksandr Pronskyi, Lead Designer at MacPaw Inc., walks us through the project “CleanMyMac X", award winner in the Product category in the 2021 UX Design Awards.

“CleanMyMac X” is a macOS application designed to help users keep their Macs in order. With smart and easy-to-use tools, the app transforms the tedious task of maintaining computers into a pleasant experience. “CleanMyMac X” allows users to free up gigabytes of space, speed up their computer, and protect it from malware in just two clicks. Interactive hover effects, animations, and atmospheric sounds support the experience of optimizing a Mac.
