Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Orhan, a solo dev from Turkey. OptiClear took 2.5 weeks and 4 Apple rejections to get approved โ€” but here we are! ๐ŸŽ‰ Would love to hear your feedback. What features would you want to see in the next update?
Gaurav Singh

@orhan_kilicย  Four Apple rejections and you still shipped โ€” that's the real founder energy right there, congrats Orhan! On the "what's next" question: I'd love to see a "before/after" storage summary screen that you can screenshot and share. It's the kind of social proof that practically markets itself (people love posting "I freed up 40GB" screenshots). Also, for feature ideas โ€” broken iCloud sync / orphaned iCloud Drive files are a massive pain point that CleanMyMac doesn't handle well. Could be a strong differentiator. Rooting for you from the Advertly team!

@gaurav_singh91ย Thank you so much Gaurav, that means a lot! ๐Ÿ™

The "before/after" summary screen is a brilliant idea โ€”

you're right, people love sharing those wins. Adding it

to the roadmap immediately!

And orphaned iCloud Drive files is a pain point I've heard

from multiple users now โ€” definitely exploring that as a

differentiator.

Appreciate the support from the Advertly team! ๐Ÿš€

Does it ask for permission before the deletion or it just does it?

Orhan Kilic

@roopreddyย Great question, Roop! OptiClear always shows you exactly what it found before deleting anything โ€” you review and confirm each item. Nothing gets removed without your approval. Safety first! ๐Ÿงนโœจ

I'm in France, the Mac App Store says it's not available in my region.

Also - what are the in-app purchases? What is free and what is paid?

Orhan Kilic

@houbstaย Hi! Thanks for letting us know โ€” we're aware of the EU availability issue and are working to fix it. It's related to new EU (DSA) trader information requirements in the App Store. We'll have it resolved soon! ๐Ÿ™

Simon White

@orhan_kilicย I seem to remember an authorisation to fill out for the same thing on my App Store submission; basically you need to define if you're a trader (like if you're a company, you probably are) or an individual... once you've done that it should unlock OK, I expect.

Orhan Kilic

@houbstaย You're exactly right! I went through the DSA trader registration flow in App Store Connect โ€” uploaded identity documents and all. Just verified via the API and all 27 EU territories are now clear. Thanks for the heads up! ๐ŸŽ‰

Simon White

@orhan_kilicย great! I'm guessing I'll have to wait a while before I test, but I'm keen to see how your app works on my Mac. I'll keep an eye on it for later ;)

Orhan Kilic

@houbstaย As for the app itself โ€” OptiClear has a free tier (basic cleaning) and OptiClear Pro with monthly and yearly subscription options for deep cleaning, duplicate finder, and advanced features. Happy to answer any questions!
