If you look at the top utility apps in the Mac ecosystem today, you'll notice a scary trend: they all want your data.
To clean your Mac, an app inherently needs deep disk access. It scans your caches, your logs, your old downloads. But why do these massive corporate apps need to send "anonymous usage telemetry" back to their servers? Why do they need to know what you are cleaning?
Trophy is now powering over 24M streaks which is kind of crazy to think about considering we only launched 1.0 here in January this year. One of the parts I find most interesting about building horizontal infrastructure is that as you scale and power more and more products you get to see insights that most teams building in isolation will only see a part of, and you can use those insights to make the the infrastructure better for everyone. For example, because we power streaks for so many users, Trophy can tell that 25% of all streaks are lost on a Friday, closely followed by Saturday (19%) and then Wednesday (18%).
