My iOS App Finally Made Its First Dollar After Months
A few months ago I built an iOS app called Sleke.
For months, nobody paid for it. There were days I questioned whether anyone would ever actually find it useful enough to subscribe.
Then on the 9th of this month, Sleke made its first dollar.
The funny part is I didn’t even notice it when it happened. I only discovered it today, 3 days later.
It’s only $1, but that single dollar means a real person somewhere in the world decided something I built was worth paying for. Honestly, that feeling is hard to explain.
Most people only see successful apps after they grow, but moments like this are the real milestones for indie developers. The quiet early stages where you keep building even when nobody is watching, downloading, or paying.
Writing this here because I never want to forget this moment.
Here is the app: https://apps.apple.com/lk/app/sleke-sleep-with-sleep-cycles/id6754694370
