r/macapps — Has anyone here tried Bytesweep for Mac? by u/professional-mud2023removed

Earliest observed author promotion and astroturf-pattern post: the developer asking about his own app as if a user; selftext is [removed] by moderators. Predates the disclosed self-promo posts by two weeks.

r/MicrosoftStoreApp — [Dev] ByteSweep for Windows — PC cleanup, storage analysis, live monitoring and more in one app by u/professional-mud2023

Feature-list pitch with demo video, 'Dev (Self-promote)' flair, SWEEP50 50%-off code. Dev explained hand-rolled treemap/sunburst layouts, Avalonia+Skia on Windows, and SwiftUI on Mac in comments.

I built ByteSweep to bring everyday PC maintenance tools into one place, while keeping users in control of what gets changed. — Intro cliche
Items are labelled *Safe to clear*, *Review first* or *Keep*. Supported cleanup actions can be undone for 7 days. — Trust signal
requires no account, and does not use telemetry. It's designed to explain what it finds instead of silently cleaning your PC. — Trust signal
I'd appreciate feedback from Microsoft Store users: which feature would you find most useful, and what would make ByteSweep a better Windows utility? — Engagement hook

r/windowsapps — Developer update: ByteSweep for Windows — cleanup, storage analysis, monitoring and more in one app by u/professional-mud2023

Longer sibling post 10 minutes before the canonical one, framed as a 'Developer update'. Name-drops CCleaner and WizTree; lists 'No automatic cleanup' as a bullet - contradicted by Space Guard two releases later.

Instead of switching between a cleaner, a disk-space analyzer, a startup manager, an app updater and a system monitor, ByteSweep brings these workflows together in one Windows app. — Problem statement
Nothing is removed until you approve it, and supported cleanups can be undone for 7 days. — Trust signal

r/MacStack — I built ByteSweep for Mac — private storage cleanup, system monitoring, and developer tools in one app by u/professional-mud2023

Mac-side announcement with demo video; 'one-time licence, no subscription', SWEEP50 code, 'does not upload your file names, paths, or scan results'.

File scanning and analysis happen locally on your Mac. ByteSweep does not upload your file names, paths, or scan results. — Trust signal
Would you prefer an all-in-one Mac utility like this, or separate apps for each task? — Engagement hook
