Ask HN: Are you going to pay for MAC application similar like “clean mymac”

1 pointsaforarnold10y ago2 comments

To describe it shortly, I want to build a mac software which will clean junks and unnecessary files from your system. I will be charging around 25 USD. Are you going to buy it? If not what are the features I can add so that attracts you as a mac user?

Thanks in advance!

No. Because I don't have problems with full hard drives. If I have full hard drives it's because of files that I really know about (like movies or backups).

Besides of this I would really want to know how the app should decide which are unnecessary files?

PS: I think there are more useful ideas for new software instead of a new version of CCleaner for Mac. Just search the App Store for useful apps that are horrible designed and try to make them better.

what files would you consider unnecessary?

will you tell me what you want to delete before you do it?

will you let me white list files/dirs/apps?

will this affect other users or just the current logged in user?

will you prevent this from running if you don't have a new list after I upgrade/downgrade to a different OS version?

What features will exist that aren't found in current solutions, such as App Cleaner?

how have you arrived at a value of $25.00 for an app you haven't defined features for and have not created yet?

too many questions, not enough time...
