Unload - A Mac app that empties your iPhone safely: copies every photo, checks each copy, then deletes

Our iPhones kept running out of space. The usual fixes were paying for more iCloud every month, or deleting photos and hoping they were backed up somewhere. So I built a Mac app for it. How it works: Plug the iPhone into your Mac Click Copy. Every photo and video lands in a normal folder on your Mac, and each copy is checked against the original (SHA-256) Delete them from the iPhone if you want. Unload only deletes what it has copied and checked The tricky part was

AI 分析

痛点:iPhone 存储爆满,用户要么被迫每月续费 iCloud,要么冒着照片丢失风险盲目删除,缺少“可信赖地复制—校验—删除”的工具。

目标用户:照片库庞大、不愿持续付 iCloud 订阅费的 iPhone + Mac 用户

证据:The usual fixes were paying for more iCloud every month, or deleting photos and hoping they were backed up somewhere. / $14.99 once, no subscription. The first 200 photos and videos are free

变现:Mac 应用一次性买断 $14.99,限制前 200 张免费试用(Freemium);后续可按导出量加价、做 Pro 版(批量/多设备/去重)或搭售备份云存储分成

MVP:用 macOS ImageCaptureCore/Photos 框架做一个 2 周 MVP:iPhone 连接后一键导出到普通文件夹,逐文件 SHA-256 校验,删除前要求已校验成功,断线可续传并显示“已删/未删”清单;先不做 UI 美化,跑通安全链路即可

竞品:iMazing、PhotoSync、Apple Photos / Image Capture、Dropbox、Google Photos

摘要:独立开发者在 r/SideProject 发布 Mac 应用 Unload:把 iPhone 照片视频复制到 Mac 并用 SHA-256 逐份校验后才允许删除,断线可续传并提示删除状态。定价 $14.99 一次性买断、无订阅,前 200 张免费,要求 macOS 15+ 并已公证。切入的是 iCloud 订阅疲劳与“删除前不敢确认已备份”的真实痛点,但同类工具(iMazing、PhotoSync、系统自带 Image Capture)竞争激烈。
