Love small practical tools with a very clear pain point.
Every USB-C cable looks the same, but some charge fast, some are slow, some handle displays, and some quietly break your setup.
WhatCable makes that visible in plain English. It basically tells you whether the cable, charger, device, or Mac port is the problem, so you don’t have to guess why your SSD is slow, your dock is acting weird, or your display refuses to work.
Super handy stuff!
