Startup insights
Value proposition

Keeps an Apple Silicon MacBook running with the lid closed. No external display, no admin password, no Terminal. One click in the menu bar.

Problem solved

Closing a MacBook's lid sleeps it, stopping AI agents, downloads and remote sessions. Most lid-closed apps need an admin password or helper and turn the screen off. Clamshell needs neither and keeps the screen usable for computer-use agents.

Audience

Mac power users: developers running AI coding agents, remote Mac users.

B2C~800 users

Pricing

$9.99 for Lifetime, $19.99 for Lifetime, 3 Macs.

Message from the founder
Matyas

"Clamshell is a native macOS menu bar app that keeps a MacBook awake with the lid closed, popular with developers running AI coding agents overnight. One-time $9.99 license after a 7-day trial, launched May 2026. All growth is organic: Google, ChatGPT and AI search citations, with orders trending up. Also on Setapp (about $100-165/mo extra, not in the verified revenue). Near-zero running costs, clean Swift codebase, small Cloudflare licensing backend. Full handover included."

PDF Vault

PDF Vault

Marketplace

PDF Vault is a done-for-you digital business-in-a-box. Members license ready-to-sell PDFs that come with a hosted sales page, and they keep 100% of their sales. It earns money two ways: one-time license fees plus recurring monthly hosting. Tiered pricing raises the price as licenses sell, so each product earns more as it fills and early buyers move fast. Licenses are capped, and new products launch in weekly drops, so the doors open just once a week. That scarcity creates real urgency.
