Profile

I built CleanMyUSB to solve a problem: macOS leaves hidden files all over USB drives, causing issues when using them with Windows PCs, car stereos, cameras, and other devices.Real problems it solves: - USB drives not playing music in car stereos (thanks .DS_Store!) - Windows users complaining about "junk files" when sharing - SD cards showing "file error" in cameras - Can't delete Spotlight indexes on exFAT drivesWhat it cleans: - .DS_Store files: The culprit behind "USB not recognized" in car stereos - Spotlight indexes (.Spotlight-V100): Wasting space and useless on other systems - AppleDouble files (._): Resource forks that clutter Windows folders - System junk: .Trash, .fseventsd, .Trash

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.
