🚀 Last 3 months revenue from my iOS apps
Honestly haven’t been very active on marketing due to personal reasons. This progress has been organic and I’m grateful for it.
PostPocket (my bookmarking app) is still the top earner.
Slow growth > no growth. We keep going.

Even if it’s just $1, it hits different when someone buys your app 💙
Just pure ASO magic doing its thing ✨
Currently working on my last app of the year — hoping to make it the biggest one yet 🚀

🚀 My biggest Apple Store payout of this year ($1117)
Hoping to break my own record in coming months
#Tip: Productivity apps still sell - you just need to market them well.
This one? A simple bookmarking app I originally built for myself... and it's been quietly paying off

I was just doing some ASO research for timer apps
Saw lots of good/popular keywords with avg difficulty.
But honestly feels hard to make $$ here since many devs offer them free.
What’s your view?

This app keeps bringing new users every week and I’ve been doing absolutely zero marketing 📱
Been busy with my new app, haven’t even updated this one. But $4.99 lifetime purchases keep coming in 💰
Maybe I actually need to start marketing it?

🚀 Launching my new app this Friday!
I noticed many countdown apps miss personalization — so I built one.
Plus, ASO keyword trends show this niche is 🔥, so it’ll also be a fun experiment to test my ASO skills & learn which markets monetize best.
Let’s see how it goes 👀✨

Posted insights about my new app on a subreddit
Got 24K views in 7 hours with solid engagement 🔥
Reddit is brutal
But when you share in the right format, it pays off
Only 2–4 sales
But gained good karma and visibility
Still a win-win 💬📈
