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~650 users

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."
