Show HN: Mac Cleaner, Offline That Fixes the "System Data" Problem

https://freeupmymac.com/
3•tonikami•7h ago
Hey HN

Ex YC/Google engineer turned indie maker here - excited to share something I just shipped.

The System Data in my Mac was taking up 300GB and it took me months to figure out how to clear the old cache, logs, junk and more. And CleanMyMac is a subscription - I refuse to pay subscription fees for Mac apps that run locally.

So I built FreeUpMyMac an offline, lifetime Mac cleaner that clear junk with 1 click. And helps you visualize your storage with TreeMap/Sunburst.

Hope it’s helpful to you as it is for me.

Would love your feedback

Tunde

Looks like a good effort and the features sound appealing. The landing page is good too - concise, to the point with the right amount of media. Suggestion: Offer a free trial version. It really doesn't hurt you because 'cleaning' up a Mac is a repetitive task. Those who appreciate it will buy it. Those who don't want to buy your software, will anyway never pay for it. But if they have used it, they are more likely to recommend it to others. Potential customers are also more likely to buy your product after seeing it in action. It also makes it easier to recommend it to others.
