Phase 1 — First 24 hours: Direct Signal
Do not add images. The Gumroad page already carries the visual load.
Stop paying the “open an app” tax just to split a PDF.
I shipped a macOS utility that adds “Split into Pages” to Finder’s right-click menu.
Right-click → Split into Pages.
No uploads. Fully local.
This replaces Preview for splitting PDFs.
If you don’t care about protecting your focus from context-switching, ignore this.

Criteria:
- People who handle docs, PDFs, contracts, research, slides
- Not recruiters
- Not “AI hype” posters
Message (verbatim):
Quick heads-up, I shipped a tiny macOS Finder utility that splits PDFs via right-click. No app, no uploads.
If PDFs are part of your workflow, it’s genuinely useful.
Happy to comp you a copy either way, just wanted to share.
Why this works:
- Not selling
- Creates feedback loop
- Often converts anyway
For 72 hours, only watch:
- Gumroad views
- Conversion rate
- Any friction feedback (Gatekeeper, permissions, confusion)
Do not:
- Change pricing
- Add features
- Rewrite copy
- Add FAQs
- Chase Gumroad tags
One of three signals:
-
Sales with no questions → Page + price are correct
-
Questions before buying → Add one clarifying line later
-
No traction but high views → Distribution problem, not product
All three outcomes are wins.
If you want cash acceleration next, the next step is not more marketing.
It’s:
- One additional Finder action
- Or one adjacent PDF operation
- Bundled as v1.1 to justify a higher anchor later
Do nothing yet.
When you’re ready, say:
Next move
And I’ll tell you which feature adds the most leverage with the least work.
