SaaS for proactive and automated disk space management

The user is dealing with a frustrating and all-too-common issue: unexplained, continuous loss of disk space. This is often caused by large applications like DaVinci Resolve, which generate massive cache and temporary files. It's a problem that particularly affects content creators, gamers, and developers, not just general users. Current solutions are mostly manual and reactive.

Opportunity: A specialized, proactive storage management SaaS for "heavy application" users. Instead of just showing what's taking up space, it would intelligently manage the bloat created by specific, known applications.

Product Form: A client-server application.

1. Desktop Agent: A lightweight, low-overhead agent runs in the background. It has modules to specifically identify and monitor the cache, temporary files, and project folders for popular demanding software (e.g., DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Cloud, Steam, Docker). It tracks file growth rates and patterns.
2. Web Dashboard: A central dashboard where users can view storage analytics across one or more machines. It would feature:
   • Application-Specific Insights: "Your DaVinci Resolve cache is 78GB. We can safely clear 65GB of old render files."
   • Smart Automation Rules: Users can create "set and forget" policies like, "Keep my main drive's free space above 50GB by automatically clearing the oldest Adobe Media Encoder cache files," or "Alert me when my Steam shader cache exceeds 10GB."
   • Historical Analysis & Prediction: Graphs showing storage consumption over time and alerts predicting when storage might run out based on recent activity.

Expected Revenue: A freemium model would be effective.

• Free Tier: Manual scan and analysis, one-click cleanup for basic temp files. Limited to one machine.
• Pro Tier ($7-$10/month): Aimed at power users and creators. Unlocks all automated rules, application-specific cleaning modules, predictive alerts, and multi-device management. The value proposition is saved time, sustained PC performance, and avoiding the need for constant manual intervention, which is easily worth the subscription for a professional or serious hobbyist.
