Persistent Network Drive Manager for macOS Users

The user's query about keeping network connections from disconnecting on macOS points to a common frustration for individuals and small businesses relying on shared drives. Unlike Windows' 'Reconnect at logon,' macOS often requires manual re-connection or complex scripting. A simple, user-friendly SaaS application could solve this.

Product Form: A lightweight macOS desktop application that runs in the background. It would allow users to: (1) Easily configure network shares (SMB, AFP, NFS, WebDAV) with credentials. (2) Automatically re-mount shares upon startup, login, or network changes (e.g., reconnecting to Wi-Fi, VPN). (3) Monitor connection status and notify users of disconnections. (4) Potentially offer centralized management for multiple Macs in a small office setting, storing configurations securely in the cloud.

Expected Revenue:

• Individual Subscription: A low monthly or annual fee for personal use (e.g., $5/month or $50/year).
• Small Business Tiers: Tiered pricing based on the number of Macs or users (e.g., $20-$50/month for 5-10 users).

Given the specific niche of macOS power users and small businesses, a few thousand paying customers could generate a respectable ARR. If 5,000 individual users subscribe at $50/year, that's $250k ARR. Add a few hundred small businesses, and it becomes a viable niche SaaS.
