How making my Mac app look "boring" gave me a 16% App Store conversion rate 🍏✨

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.

Product Hunt is best known for its homepage, a daily leaderboard of the most creative and innovative products on the internet. Makers go all out to win launch day, because that visibility matters. Product Hunt also plays a significant role in how products appear in Google search results.

v1.3.0 is available now - Multiple keys support! 🚀

Hello!
Until now, Locki worked with a single encryption key.

With the new update, you can now create and manage multiple keys and switch between them seamlessly.

  • Create multiple encryption keys with custom names

  • Assign any key as your primary key for active encrypt/decrypt operations

  • Keep different contexts (projects, teams, or clients) separated and secure

This gives you more flexibility and control when sharing sensitive information across different platforms.
