Techtool Pro 11 provides tools for maintaining and troubleshooting your Mac, including drive repair, RAM testing, and data protection.

The program also offers data recovery features for recovering information from damaged volumes and previously deleted files. Micromat warns data recovery may not always prove successful, and the process is, in most cases, not possible using SSDs. Using Techtool Pro 9, I didn't have success recovering several test files—including applications, photos, documents, and spreadsheets— that I deleted and attempted to restore from a flash drive. The exception was when the deleted files were still present in the Trash; Techtool Pro 9 was able to successfully locate and restore those deleted files., however, successfully recovered numerous test files, as well as many others previously saved and deleted on the same media. Techtool Pro 9 includes Protogo, too.

The integrated feature, formerly a standalone program, permits creating a customizable bootable diagnostic volume, on a spare flash drive for example, that can boot, troubleshoot, and repair Macs.

Hardware tests are available from a Test Selection menu on the program's bottom right pane, while corresponding settings appear within the bottom-right pane.

Three simple icons, for accessing tests, tools, and reports, appear conveniently in the top-left corner. The $99.99 application also maintains reports documenting program operations. Version upgrades are priced at $39.99, while a 10-user business pack costs $299.99, with the corresponding upgrade for $149.99.
