Hey PH!

If you look at the top Mac cleaning utilities today, they all share a similar design language: they look like a 2005 spaceship dashboard.

They have spinning radars, giant red warning signs flashing "YOUR MAC IS IN DANGER", and custom UI elements that look nothing like macOS. It s designed to create panic and force a purchase.

When I started building OptiClear, I decided to take the exact opposite approach. I wanted the UI to be almost... boring.

You now have full control over your entries, without losing what matters.

What's new:
Edit your entries anytime
Move entries to trash instead of deleting them permanently
Restore deleted entries within a recovery window
Better control and safety for your writing
New hint to discover long-press options

We re building Athena as a system that tries to connect product intent with technical reality using AI subagents.

Instead of just managing tasks, it tries to understand how the product actually behaves - architecture, constraints, and decision history.

Before we go deeper:
If you could give an AI workspace one ability related to product understanding, what would it be?

Would love to hear different perspectives from PMs, engineers, and founders.
