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?

Launching tomorrow: Studio, the AI-native media workspace

Built for the folks who work with photos and videos on a daily basis, Studio is the workflow-agnostic media workspace; It doesn t just analyze the media you upload to it, it builds an agentic visual memory and runs workflows to understand and act on your team s photos and videos.

We asked what felt off about AI voices, you told us. We’re fixing it.

Over the past few months, we ve been talking to a lot of you using Velo.
Real conversations, and people trying it out, sending clips, pointing things out.
And almost everyone said some version of the same thing: It sounds like me but something feels missing.
At first, we thought it was about accuracy. Maybe the voice wasn t close enough. But the more we listened, the clearer it became - that wasn t the issue.
The issue was how it felt. The tone stays a bit too samey. The emphasis doesn t always land where you expect it to. And the little natural shifts that make your voice yours just aren t fully there yet. It sounds right, but it doesn t feel alive.
So we went back and started reworking how we think about voice cloning at Velo. Not just matching how you sound, but capturing how you express. The way your voice changes when you re explaining something, when you re just talking casually, or when you actually care about what you re saying.
That s what we re building now. The next version of Velo is focused on higher fidelity voice cloning. More nuance. Better pacing. More natural expression.
Something that doesn t feel like a generated voice reading your script, but closer to you actually speaking.
We re still building it, but it s coming together fast. We re planning to ship this soon.
If you ve used Velo before, we d love to know - what do you think about Velo's voice cloning or other workflows? What would make it feel right?
We re listening.

I just hit the kill switch on my own app…

How marketing agencies can add $1,000 MRR per client without taking on more work

Most agencies are missing a huge blind spot in their client reports right now.
Not because they are bad at their job.
Because the game changed and nobody sent a memo.
More and more of your clients customers are skipping Google entirely. They go straight to ChatGPT or Perplexity, ask a question, get an answer, and click the brand that gets mentioned.
If your client is not getting mentioned? They are losing leads they do not even know exist.
I spent the last few months figuring out how to track this properly and turn it into a service agencies can actually sell. Not some complicated AI audit. Just a simple monthly report that shows clients where they stand in AI search, how their competitors are doing, and what to do about it.
Agencies adding this are charging between $200 and $500 extra per month per client for it. The conversation is easy because the data is new and clients have never seen it before.
I wrote a free playbook covering the whole thing.
What AI visibility actually is. The metrics to track. A script for pitching it. A sample report structure. And a 7-day checklist to get your first report delivered.
Download here.
If you are running an agency and you have been looking for a way to grow revenue without growing your client list, this might be the one.

Projects: inspecting local repos in a new way


We just shipped Projects in Room Service.
A new way to inspect your local development folders and understand what s actually taking up space.
Projects analyzes each repo and groups its contents into things like assets, generated data, git storage, and logs. So instead of just seeing folders, you can understand what each part represents and why the project is large.
It also surfaces things you don t normally see while working, like build outputs, caches, and repository internals.

We Did a Podcast with Google: What We Shared about Monetizing a Chrome Extension

There's almost no public content on how to monetize a Chrome Extension.

Google invited us to do a podcast about it, sharing our learnings on how two bootstrapped guys grew Pretty Prompt to 40,000 users, 25% on annual plans, with ~7% weekly growth, with no VC money.

Pause.do 0.2.5 - Breathing sounds, scroll sensitivity, and a 3-day free trial

Hey PH, we just shipped 0.2.5 and wanted to share what's new.

Breathing sounds

The breathing pause now plays ambient audio synced to each phase of the cycle (inhale, hold, exhale). Two tracks: a singing bowl that shifts harmonics with each phase, and procedurally-generated pink noise shaped like rainfall. You can mute or switch mid-session; your preference is saved.

The part about building nobody warns you about

When you're bootstrapping multiple products, there's this physical feeling that shows up and nobody ever talks about it. Your stomach is somehow empty and full at the same time. This knot that just sits there while you're trying to figure out which project needs you most.

I run Sparkum, Biteme, and LifeLines all under Onyx Labs. No investors. Every dollar is ours. Some days that's exciting. Other days it's just heavy.

A few things that actually help me:

Get specific. The "everything is overwhelming" feeling is almost never true. It's usually one or two things hiding behind everything else. Name them. The rest gets lighter.
