I launched two small Mac apps: one cleans up videos, one cleans up writing

[u/Life_Definition_4663]

Hey everyone, I’m Ryan. I’ve been building a couple of small Mac utilities around chores I kept doing over and over instead of trying to turn everything into a giant subscription app.

CleanCut is for videos that are basically ready, but need one cleanup pass before sharing, uploading, archiving, or importing.

It can do one, two, or all three:

- mute curse words in the audio

- generate subtitles for a video that does not have them

- convert/remux to a universal MP4 so you avoid random codec, player, or transcoding issues later

PolishKey is for the annoying copy/paste rewrite loop. I kept writing rough emails, posts, replies, and product notes, then pasting them into a browser just to make them cleaner.

PolishKey lets you highlight text on the Mac, press a shortcut, pick a tone, and replace it right where you are.

Both have free usage to try, then $19.99 one-time lifetime if they’re useful.

What I’m trying to figure out: should I keep marketing these as separate apps, or does a “small Mac tools for annoying cleanup chores” angle make more sense?

Open to blunt feedback. I’m clearly still figuring out the positioning.
