OptiClear is officially live, and while the current cleanup tools are saving tons of GBs, I m already looking at the roadmap for the next big update. I want to build what you actually need.
Which of these features would make your Mac life easier?
1 Duplicate Finder: Find and remove those annoying identical files & photos. 2 Uninstaller Improvements: A more powerful way to wipe every trace of deleted apps. 3 Cloud Storage Cleaner: Scanning and managing large files in iCloud/Google Drive. 4 Performance Monitor: A real-time dashboard for RAM and CPU health.
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%).
ClawOffice was a bit of a gimmick - a 3D virtual office for AI agents. It was fun to build and got some attention on launch, but let's be real: it didn't take off. People thought it was cool for a minute, then moved on. No real retention, no real problem being solved.
Here's what I actually learned from it:
Novelty value. A cool concept gets you a launch day. It doesn't get you users who come back on day 30.
I was building for the demo, not the workflow. ClawOffice looked great in a screenshot. It didn't solve anything measurable for anyone.
"What gets tracked gets improved" is real. The founders I talked to afterward all had the same pain - they were shipping features and running experiments with no clue what was actually driving revenue.
