Relations

same author Marquee (App Store screenshot studio) and Overa (notch utility)
Solo-dev portfolio: Marquee launched on reddit 2026-10-11 with conventional posts; DiskDrop is promoted only via comments. Both live alongside an in-progress finance app.

Research notes

Pure comment-drop marketing: the only promotion found is one-line 'I've developed DiskDrop' replies on strangers' advice threads (r/macappdevs 2026-10-22, r/MacOS 2026-10-24). No launch post exists on the author's profile.
Positions against the incumbent inside the pitch itself: 'includes all the main features CleanMyMac offers and some extras as well: image duplicates, email cluttering'.
Monetization not yet live: site advertises '€29 at launch' but the Lemon Squeezy checkout link 404s (2026-10-24), so it is effectively a free download today.
Closed-source paid app distributed as a DMG from a releases-only GitHub repo (v1.0.0-v1.0.4 over 8 days, 0 stars) - the spare-style distribution pattern, without the later open-source flip.
Established-dev counter-signals: 8-year GitHub account, 7-year personal domain, 4-year reddit account, published academic paper - an unusual profile for the 2026 wave.
The r/MacOS comment was captured 11 minutes after posting (2026-10-24 14:33Z), before arctic-shift could index it.

Oct 22, 2026 r/macappdevs — is there an mac app to uninstall the apps properly by u/stunning-rub7404

Top-level comment dropped on a stranger's advice thread (post by Dheeraj_PG). Title is the parent thread's - the announcement IS the comment; no launch post exists on the author's profile.

I've developed DiskDrop, that can do this as well. You can try it here: https://marcopilloni.com/diskdrop/ — Intro cliche

Oct 24, 2026 r/MacOS — Looking for an alternative for CleanMyMac by u/stunning-rub7404

Top-level comment on a CleanMyMac-alternative advice thread (post by Esob_Oozeer), six days after the thread started. Positions directly against CleanMyMac.
