Ejectify▲88Hi HN, I built a small macOS utility to solve something that kept bothering me: external drives not being safely ejected when a Mac goes to sleep, leading to “Disk Not Ejected Properly” warnings and potential data issues. macOS doesn’t always give volumes enough time to unmount, especially with SSDs, SD cards, or disk images. Manually ejecting works, but it’s easy to forget. Ejectify automates this by unmounting selected volumes right before sleep (or display off) and mounting them again on wake. In Ejectify 2, I focused on making (un)mounting more reliable, with an optional helper for…

MultiDrive▲467Hey HN! I'm the CTO at Atola Technology, and we have launched MultiDrive: a free disk backup/clone/wipe tool that does things differently. After 17 years of work with drives, I got tired of seeing simple disk operations locked behind paywalls. Macrium killed their free version, EaseUS hides cloning in paid tiers, and so on and so forth. Another reason is that all the existing solutions are overly complicated. It must be simple enough for my mum to start erasing a USB stick or making a full drive backup. All in all, we thought the community deserved better. What makes MultiDrive…

FreeUpMyMac▲110Hey 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

Tidey▲90Hey HN! I built Tidey because my Desktop was always a mess. The problem: Files pile up on Desktop and Downloads. Screenshots, PDFs, random downloads. You save them "temporarily" and forget about them for months. The solution: Tidey sits in your menubar and watches those folders. When you're ready to clean up, it shows you each file one by one. You preview it, then click Delete (goes to Trash) or Keep (moves to ~/Documents/Kept/, organized by year/month). That's it. No complex rules, no automation magic. Just a fast way to make decisions about files you've been ignoring.…
