The mystery of the "Other" storage category on Mac 🔍

We ve all been there: You check your storage, and there s a massive yellow bar labeled 'Other' or 'System Data' taking up 50GB+.

In OptiClear, I built the Large & Aging Files analyzer specifically to hunt these down. It's often forgotten .dmg installers from 2 years ago or massive log files that serve no purpose.

Yesterday, a user told me they found 12GB of old screen recordings they forgot they ever made!

Question for the community: What was the weirdest or largest 'forgotten' file you ever found while cleaning your drive?

I built an MCP server that lets Claude Code control your desktop

Two months ago I typed "open chrome and find latest news" into Claude Code and got:

I can't open Chrome or control your browser. I'm a code assistant, I work with files, run shell commands, and help with software engineering tasks.

I have two ideas, please tell me which one is good and can be sold.

1=> Are you interested in a product that lets you insert your own face into any TikTok or Instagram Reel by automatically replacing the original person s face with yours?

2=> Scrape any website without writing code.
