r/HereIsWhatIBuilt

NoThink is my second iOS app. 7 weeks live. Total revenue: $10. About 6–20 App Store impressions per day. One subscription. I'm a solo indie dev with a full-time job and studies, English isn't my first language, and I need to share something honest.

This week I sat down and audited my own ASO from scratch. It was bad.

My title was "NoThink: Pause, Reset, Unwind" — three emotive verbs, zero high-volume search keywords. My description never named a single one of my actual features (Box Breathing, Panic Relief, Do Nothing, Deep Thinking, Binaural sounds). My Turkish title had a typo — "Anskiyete" instead of "Anksiyete" — that one transposed letter was blocking the entire Turkish App Store from finding me for 7 weeks.

So I rewrote everything from scratch:

- New title: NoThink: Anxiety & Breathing

- New subtitle: Panic Relief & Mindfulness

- Keyword field: 14 single words tuned to actual search data (meditation, stress, calm, box, breathwork, binaural, sleep, focus, zen, deep, reset, nothing, grounding, detox)

- Description rewritten naming every feature

- Fixed the Turkish typo

- Optimized listings for UK, AU, CA, Spain, Sweden, Traditional Chinese — instead of 5 markets falling back to English

What floored me in the research: the top result for "anxiety" in the US App Store is Rootd, with only 10K ratings. Apple's algorithm rewards topical relevance, not just rating count. The wellness category looks impossible because Calm and Headspace dominate, but at the body/long-tail keyword layer it's wide open.

I'll come back to this subreddit in exactly 2 weeks with real numbers — impressions, conversion, revenue, win or lose.

Side note on the $10 story: a few days ago I posted here and accidentally wrote that the "lifetime" purchase was $6.99, but App Store was showing $6.99 monthly. One redditor pointed it out. I felt horrible. He was incredibly kind, accepted the corrected price, and bought lifetime. Next morning I woke up to my first real subscription notification. After months of nights and weekends, that "cha-ching" felt huge.

If it helps even a little, an honest App Store review would mean the world. And if you have ASO ideas I missed, please tell me — I'd rather hear hard truths now than learn them at $20 in revenue.

Thanks for reading. Have a calm day 🌿

I built Football Today — a lightweight Chrome extension that shows live scores, fixtures, and results instantly without opening any site.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/football-today/fmacagkjdlnkghggglflbmbjcdebjecn?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=descr

Key features:

• Live scores from major leagues;
• Today’s fixtures and results;
• Fast, minimal popup which can be dragged to any position;
• No ads, no clutter, no wasted time.

It’s built for speed — open, check scores, get back to what you were doing.

So, if you’re still checking football scores by jumping between tabs or apps, this might save you some time.

I'm open for feedback - what features you would like me to add?

If you're like me, constantly shipping, fixing bugs at 2am, answering support emails between meetings, it probably feels like time is just slipping through your fingers.

The average person gets around 4,200 weeks. If you're 30, you've burned through about half already. If you're 40, you've got maybe ~2,000 left.

That's 2,000 weeks to finish that side project.

2,000 weeks to actually be with the people who matter.

2,000 weeks to do the thing you keep saying you'll do "someday."

Every dot is a week of your life.

I built DotsLife because spreadsheets and to-do lists weren't cutting it anymore. I needed to see my life not as an endless scroll of days, but as a finite grid of dots I'm spending, one by one.

Each dot is a week where you can journal, track how you felt, and log what you worked on. But more importantly, you see how many you've lived and how many you (statistically) have left. It's motivating and a little terrifying by design.

For founders and builders: we obsess over funnels, MRR, and deploys, but ignore the only metric that actually runs out: time.

DotsLife isn't about hustle guilt. It's about perspective. Asking yourself: "Is this week, this one dot, going toward something that actually matters?"

You don't get the dots back.

Free, privacy-first, and built for people who are too busy building to notice how fast life is moving.

I made this disk utility for Mac and Windows:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wintrim/id6758111636

It’s also on my GitHub for free to setup on your computer with less features (my original version).

Made it specifically to search for old dev files and simulator files to free up disk space. Works on both Mac and Windows. Just don’t have it in the Microsoft Store yet.

I wanted something simple for disk utility and CleanMyMac has all this other stuff I didn’t really want and the disk utility part wasn’t what I needed, so I built this. Also it’s only $4.99 one time and not a subscription.

We launched Savio AI on April 30th, 2026 with one simple goal:

Help people stop losing their best AI prompts and workflows.

Today, just 14 days later, we’ve reached:

• 34 installs

• 140 Chrome Store page views

• Early users actively testing Savio AI across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini

Still small in startup terms, but every install means a lot when you’re building from scratch.

One thing I’ve learned already: launching is the easy part.

The real work starts after launch: improving onboarding, fixing bugs, refining UX, listening to feedback, and continuing to ship consistently.

Savio AI exists because I personally got tired of: • rewriting the same prompts

• losing powerful workflows

• switching between AI tools with zero continuity

So we built a lightweight prompt memory system that helps users save, organize, and instantly reuse prompts across their favorite AI tools.

We’re still early. Still improving. Still shipping.

If you use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini daily, I’d genuinely love your feedback.
