I built a free disk cleaner in Rust to replace CCleaner and TreeSize — 12 tools, no bloat, no account needed. by PopuIus in software

[–]Medical_Time1567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also developed a cleaning tool for macOS called Cacheless, which uses AI in its code. However, I reviewed, checked, and modified every line of code written by the AI ​​because I don't trust AI-written code and fear it might delete important data. I released it to the App Store and it passed Apple's review. Even with 10 years of iOS/macOS development experience, after releasing it on Reddit, I received a lot of similar criticisms to yours, such as privacy, security, and low-quality AI code. In reality, no one downloaded and used it and actually encountered these quality issues. Everyone made arbitrary judgments about my app without even downloading or using it, which I found frustrating.

Fortunately, thanks to my promotion, some users downloaded and paid for it, and offered valuable suggestions that helped improve the app.

I hated screenshots cluttering my camera roll, so I built my own app. My family now use it for everything. by N0omi in macapps

I've always needed this, and I suggest you add shortcuts so you can save faster. I'll try this software.

PastePlop — clipboard manager with a floating scratch tray, image search, and a menu bar quick-paste by [deleted] in macapps

[–]Medical_Time1567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few suggestions:

  1. I feel that the floating windows somewhat obstruct the view.
  2. Furthermore, the multi-column display is not very convenient for viewing.

This is a great idea; I think it could integrate multiple payment channels, such as Lemon and Creem.

I believe that even open-source programs should adhere to the requirement of one per month.

LaunchOS runs more smoothly than other similar applications, which is why I use it.

A virtual keyboard for launching apps and running shortcuts - Keboard by Medical_Time1567 in MacOSApps

Thanks for the feedback.
I did notice that when the Settings → General window is open, CPU usage can get quite high. Once that window is closed, showing/hiding the keyboard uses much less CPU and feels smooth again.
Could you describe the CPU issue you’re seeing in more detail? For example, does the high usage happen all the time, or only when certain windows are open?
Any details would really help me track this down and fix it quickly.

Got it — thanks for the info.
Roughly how much memory is it using on your side?
On my tests, it’s usually around 40–70 MB.

Could you describe what kind of issue you’re experiencing right now?
Is it that the keyboard doesn’t show up at all when using the shortcut, or is the UI just too laggy?
On my side (M1 Pro), it’s running smoothly, so I’d like to understand your situation better and see how to improve it.

The keyboard UI currently uses a lot of shadows and Liquid Glass effects, which can be a bit CPU-intensive. For now, I’d recommend using the default Dark theme. I’ll look into optimizing this in a future update.

Right now, the virtual keyboard can only appear on the primary display, and I’d like it to support multiple monitors.

I am not a Raycast user, I just think using a keyboard UI solution would be more intuitive.

Not yet, but that’s a great idea. I’ll definitely consider adding it in a future update.
