Auslogics have released Auslogics Disk Defrag Touch, quite a significant touch-oriented update of its Auslogics Disk Defrag package.

Probably the most instantly apparent change is definitely the very Windows 8-like interface, and this doesn’t simply mean “it has a few colorful tiles”. This program goes full-screen, has got the similar bold design and style, a quite similar design for the controls and options: it basically feels as though you’re operating a Windows 8 app (even though it also runs on Windows 7).

All of the primary options are offered on a single start screen, too, so you’ve got in order to swipe left or right to view them. Mouse users can additionally spin the mouse wheel or drag the mouse left or right. Besides the visuals , defragging just works pretty much as you’d expect, and the typical drive map helps to keep you up-to-date with progress.

Overall performance is fantastic, hardly surprising as the software is founded on Auslogics’ regular disk defragger. However if you simply still don’t have time to perform a complete defrag, no worries: Auslogics Disk Defrag Touch comes with an “Optimize Programs” area which seems to defrag files relevant to a particular program only.

There are several helpful adjustments and settings. Or you may tell the program to relocate system files to the start of the drive, which means defragging could take a lot longer, but you should see a quicker system after doing that.

An easy scheduler then makes it simple to perform all this automatically, every day, week or even month, or whenever your PC is idle. And also, somewhat bizarrely, there’s a game-like “levels” system where you acquire tokens for utilizing the software, recording achievements, gaining better status, unlocking secret features, and accumulating tokens which seemingly you’ll have the option to “redeem later”.

Auslogics Disk Defrag Touch is obviously well-designed, nevertheless, as near to the Windows 8 look as a desktop application could be. It operates nicely on a touch screen, and the program’s effective defrag engine will a great job of optimizing your drive.
