Indie dev's $9 Mac cleaner WTMemory lands first UK sale, targets AI model hoards

Indie developer saibharadwaj announced WTMemory's first UK sale as downloads slowly pick up. The 794 KB Mac memory tool sells Pro for a one-time $9 (3 Macs, lifetime updates), fully offline with zero tracking.
- Its pitch: legacy cleaners only show generic "System Junk," while WTMemory surfaces modern dev-Mac bloat—local LLM weights (Ollama 42.7 GB, HuggingFace caches), orphaned dev servers, browser automation
- A sample M-series scan identified 94 GB, with local AI/LLM hoards the largest chunk
- Pricing rationale: offer CleanMyMac-style features at a fraction of the price for globally affordable utility tools
A useful case study for indie devs selling one-time-purchase utilities worldwide.
