Someone actually paid for my app ... didnt expect it

I’ve been working on an email cleanup app for the past few months and honestly didn’t know if anyone would actually pay for it.

Today I got my first subscription.

It’s only one person, but seeing someone put their card down for something I built from scratch felt crazy.

The idea came from dealing with tens of thousands of emails and not knowing where to even start cleaning.

So I built something that:

- shows what’s actually clogging your inbox

- groups emails by sender

- lets you clean thousands at once

Still super early, but this was a big moment for me.

Curious for other builders, do you remember your first paying user?

Built an iOS app to clean up thousands of emails at once would love feedback

Hey all,

I’ve been working on my first iOS app over the past few months and just launched it.

The idea came from dealing with way too many emails (tens of thousands) and not knowing where to start cleaning.

The app focuses on:

• ⁠an inbox “health score”

• ⁠breaking down what’s filling your inbox (spam, newsletters, etc.)

• ⁠grouping emails by sender to clean them in bulk

• ⁠quick actions like delete, unsubscribe, or mark as spam

I tried to keep the UX simple so it doesn’t feel overwhelming.

Pricing: $6.99/month

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/emailbuddy-clean-inbox/id6759539281

Would really appreciate any feedback especially on UX or anything confusing.

​Happy to answer questions as well.
