ClearDisk
Find what fills your Mac and what keeps it busy, with free scans and a one-time $10 license for guided actions.
What is ClearDisk?
ClearDisk is a Mac app for understanding storage and performance. It offers cleanup of large files, a breakdown of System Data, CPU and memory monitoring, a menu-bar monitor, and iCloud Drive diagnostics in one app. Scans and diagnostics are free, and the app is designed to show you what is taking up space before you decide anything.
It is aimed at Mac users who want to see what is filling their disk or slowing their machine. Its Why Slow view shows running apps, CPU activity and memory pressure, and its storage tools break down System Data, large files, caches and developer folders such as node_modules and Xcode builds. Users who want to check cloud file states or find Intel-only apps can use the iCloud Doctor and Mac checks.
What sets it apart, according to the page, is its confirmation-first approach. A scan does not delete anything, cleanup moves files to the Trash so they can be restored, and each action requires your confirmation. The app requires macOS 15 or later and runs on Apple silicon and Intel. Access to files stays on your Mac. The $10 one-time license unlocks cleanup, iCloud Doctor actions and guided performance actions, with no subscription.

Reddit Virality Was The Two-Month Unlock That Validated The Whole Business
Two months after launching Starter Story, Pat went viral on Reddit, which gave him both an audience and a validated business model. The first sponsor and first dollar followed two months later.
It used to be the marginal cost of serving a user subscriber for most consumer apps was close to zero. But now with these AI powered products and features that's no longer true because you do have the underlying compute costs to support the AI features.
AI apps need tiered pricing — compute costs eliminate the zero-marginal-cost software model
The economics of subscription apps changed fundamentally with AI. Duolingo Max, Perplexity Pro, Claude Pro — the pattern is consistent: a free or basic tier without full AI access, and a premium tier for the complete AI-powered experience. Carter argues this structure is necessary for AI apps to protect margins, and that consumers are increasingly receptive because they understand AI compute costs after watching ChatGPT charge $20/month. Bootstrapped and early-stage founders must be especially conscious of this — unlimited AI features at a flat monthly price is often unprofitable.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
