Is the above app safe and recommended to use on my M1 MacBook Pro? also For my new IMac.? If not I would like some other suggestions please!
Thank you!

Not recommended. It has a tendency to be aggressive. There are folks here who will say it's ok, but most of us don't use it as it is not really needed. Macs don't need "cleaning" in the normal use of them. If you feel you MUST do something, get OnyX and run the default maintenance routine once every 6 months or so, if then. I haven't done anything to my MBP in over a year. It's simply not needed.

OnyX is OS-specific. Download only the one that indicates it is for the OS version you have. The same developer provides a stand-alone Maintenance app that is only the Maintenance portion of OnyX, making things a bit simpler and less perplexing for a new user.
