• Fire10.Cleaner

  beta

  Uninstall the app and the mess it left behind.

  Five tools for reclaiming a Mac. Everything goes to the Trash, so any mistake is one “Put Back” away.

  • Uninstall — the app plus its caches, prefs, containers and logs; Homebrew casks handled
  • Leftovers — files from apps you already deleted
  • Reclaim — dev caches: DerivedData, npm, pip, Gradle, node_modules…
  • Big Files and Startup — what eats your disk, what launches at login

  swift · swiftui

• RetroTimer

  beta

  A playlist of timers in your menu bar.

  Queue up work, break, work. When one ends, the next starts — no clicking, no modal.

  • Type 25m, 5:00 or 90s to add a timer
  • Reorder what's up next; finished timers stay visible as done
  • Per-timer notification, off by default

  swift · menu bar only

• RetroMarkdown

  building

  Markdown notes as plain files.

  Point it at a folder and write. Your notes stay ordinary .md files any other app can open.

  • [[Wiki links]] and backlinks between notes
  • Search across the whole folder; reading view with ⌘E
  • Native folder tree: new, rename, reveal in Finder, move to Trash

  swift · codemirror

• Review Studio

  invite only

  Product link in, 9:16 review video out.

  Runs inside Google Flow. Import a product, get review scripts, draw the frames, render with Veo.

  • Imports a product and scores its photos, keeping only the usable ones
  • Script formulas you can lock or reroll, with varied calls to action
  • Lints every script for length, banned words and repeated phrases before spending a credit
  • Batch-draw images and render videos, three at a time

• Short Film Studio

  building

  30-second dramas where the product saves the day.

  Pick a story template, drop in a product, get three clips: setup → climax → resolution.

  • Templates are data — a new genre is a new file, not new code
  • Plays to what video models do well: faces and camera moves, not physics
  • Ends on the real product photo; voice-over with subtitles
