PH launch was an utter flop, but reddit helped me make $360+ revenue in one month

I made $300+ revenue from Reddit in a month of launching my iOS app called SinceWhen.

I launched my app on PH this Tuesday(31st March), it's an utter flop. Couldn't grab upvotes enough to get visibility. I checked multiple times within 4 hours to see if my app gets shown in top 10, as PH updated its algo to randomize the products within 4 hours. But not even one time I could see my product. Not sure how PH is working but it's been so bad for me.

About my app:

Standard habit trackers are amazing for daily routines like coding or working out. But I found they completely fail at the irregular maintenance of life—changing the AC filter, watering specific plants, or taking as-needed meds. If you track a task you only do every 3 weeks, daily "streaks" just create a giant red calendar of guilt.

I wanted a frictionless system that just answers: "When did I last do that?"

So, I built SinceWhen. It’s an "anti-habit tracker" that skips the streaks and calculates your true average intervals instead.

Not perfect. Not polished.

But it exists.

A week ago it was just an idea.

That shift feels crazy.

If you’ve built something before — how did you feel after your first launch

$25 in my first month as an 18-year-old solo dev. Here's what actually worked (and what didn't).

$25 in my first month as an 18-year-old solo dev. Here's what actually worked (and what didn't).

https://preview.redd.it/m7jdb1acb5tg1.png?width=1568&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d193f991b94ec21ecf544cd65a222c69edbe7d5

I'm a first-year CS student . A month ago I launched my first macOS app on the App Store — a teleprompter that sits inside the MacBook notch so you make natural eye contact on camera. One paying customer so far. $25 in proceeds. Not life-changing money, but it's my first dollar earned from something I built and that feels insane.

Here's what the first month looked like:

30 first-time downloads, 456 impressions, 11.4% conversion rate, 1 in-app purchase.

What actually moved the needle:

A $30 UGC video I hired from Fiverr — posted as a YouTube Short, it got 1,800+ views in 4 hours. That single video drove more downloads than anything else I tried. The hook was "This app lets you cheat on Zoom calls and nobody can see it." Turns out people love the invisible angle.

Reddit reply marketing — instead of making promo posts, I searched for threads where people were complaining about eye contact on Zoom, forgetting scripts during interviews, reading notes on video calls. Then I just replied as a user recommending a solution. No links, no pitch. If someone asked what app, I told them. This got me more installs than any direct post.

SEO blog content — I wrote 8 blog posts targeting keywords like "best macbook notch teleprompter" and "hide teleprompter screen sharing." Google Search Console shows 20 clicks, 112 impressions, 17% CTR at average position 5.9. Slow burn but it's compounding.

App Store ASO — Changed my subtitle to "Teleprompter for Eye Contact" and optimized keywords. "teleprompter mac" went from #37 to #20. "invisible teleprompter" now ranks #22.

What didn't work:

Making my own Reddit posts — got removed by spam filters or got zero traction. Reply marketing works 10x better.

Product Hunt — 19 upvotes, 101 followers, almost zero downloads from it.

Posting in the wrong subreddits — wasted time in communities that didn't care about my niche.

What I'd do differently:

Start with video content from day one. The UGC video outperformed weeks of text-based marketing in 4 hours. If you're launching an app, budget $30 for a Fiverr creator before you do anything else.

The app is CueNotch if anyone wants to check it out — free tier available, no credit card needed for the trial. Would love feedback from anyone here on what I should focus on next to get from $25 to $250.

I launched my existential & minimalist time capsule app 48 hours ago. These are my stats from yesterday. Is... is this good?

I posted about launching my app here two days ago.

Are those good numbers? I just did a couple Reddit posts and some TikTok's I made myself. How do people find my app otherwise?

No one bought the life-time purchase yet, though I priced it at just $4.99 forever. Any tipps and advice? I really don't know what to make of the numbers...

The app is here if you want to check out the screenshots.

I got tired of subscription travel planners so I built a $2.99 offline Japan itinerary app

I’ve been experimenting with building a small utility app without subscriptions, servers, or API token costs.

Instead of generating itineraries through cloud models, this Japan travel planner runs locally on device:

• itineraries assemble from curated day blocks stored locally

• Apple Intelligence is used to know more about trip

• fully offline-first architecture

• no login required

• no backend infra

• no ongoing generation cost

• one-time $2.99 purchase

I seeded the app with a small set of starter itineraries (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka routes), and I’m currently collecting suggestions from early users on what trips to add next.

Just opened pre-orders and I’m curious how others here think about:

– local-first architecture for content-driven apps

– whether avoiding backend infra is still practical at scale

– using Apple Intelligence as a helper layer instead of a core engine

– viability of one-time paid utilities on the App Store right now

Would love to hear how others are approaching similar design decisions.

Let me know also if you wanna download it on test flight :)

Significantly improved the UI/screenshots on my appointment prep app, ReadyRoom AI. Thank you to all who gave feedback!

Reposting after updating my UI and screenshots based on some solid feedback here. Really appreciate the input.

Too often people leave appointments feeling ignored or pushed into decisions they don’t fully understand, whether it’s a doctor, mechanic, or banker.

ReadyRoom AI puts an advocate in your pocket.

You describe your appointment and it generates a personalized prep kit with:

- Smart, situation-specific questions

- What to bring

- Red flags to watch for

- Clear phrases to help you push back if needed

It is tailored. A cardiology follow-up and an annual physical get completely different outputs.

There is also a mode for helping someone else, which has been especially useful for people supporting aging parents.

$7.99 one-time. No ads or subscriptions.

Would love feedback on the new screenshots and flow. If you decide to download and check it out, I’d be grateful!

[$2.99/month ==>FREE] Charity Researching app

[$2.99/month ==>FREE] Charity Researching app

The app rates 500+ charities using a scoring system that covers:

- Financial transparency (IRS 990s, annual reports)

- Program ratios: how much actually reaches the cause vs overhead

- Funding sources and any legal issues

Think Charity Navigator but with a sharper scoring methodology, halal scoring, and a cleaner UI.

I am giving 1 month FREE pro subscription. This lets you get deep insights into what these charities are spending your donations on, how much they make, and how much they keep in their pockets

I built OverLog — a simple, no-BS workout tracker for lifters who just want to log lifts and see real progression (no accounts, no clutter)

Hey

I’ve been lifting for years now and I genuinely love it — the PR hunts, the daily grind, that feeling when you finally add another plate. But keeping track of everything? Man, that part always sucked for me.

I used to just throw all my workouts into the regular Notes app. It kinda worked, but it was a pain trying to figure out if I was actually progressing, remembering what I hit last session on a certain lift, or building my own program around the exercises I actually enjoy doing. None of the other apps clicked for me either. Most force you to make an account, shove pre-made programs in your face that I didn’t want, or they’re so packed with extra crap that logging a simple workout turns into a chore instead of something quick between sets.

So this year I decided to challenge myself: learn SwiftUI from scratch (with a ton of AI help along the way) and just build the damn thing I wished existed. That’s OverLog. It’s a straightforward iOS workout tracker made by a lifter, for lifters who want to keep it simple but still see real progress.

Here’s what I ended up with:

•  Logging feels fast and clean — you stay focused on the barbell, not your phone. It automatically pulls up what you did last time on that exercise so you know exactly what to beat for progressive overload.

•  You build your own custom programs with whatever exercises you like. No forced templates, no generic stuff.

•  Every exercise has quick form tips, cues, and common mistakes right there when you need a refresher mid-workout.

•  The analytics are actually useful — real charts on your volume, strength trends, and progress that you can even share if you want.

•  Your data is completely private. Everything lives in iCloud, no weird third-party syncing, and the tiny bit that touches AI isn’t stored long-term anywhere. No ads, no selling your lifts, nothing like that.

Quick note on pricing so there’s no confusion:

Free version lets you create and log one custom programwith all the core tracking stuff. That’s honestly enough for a lot of people who run the same routine long-term. If you want multiple programs, advanced details, or the full analytics, Pro is a subscription or one-time purchase — your choice.

If you’re a fellow lifter, want to give it a spin, throw some real feedback my way, or just support a one-guy indie project, hit me up here or in DMs. You can use OVERLOG12FREE promo code to get one year free subscption as a thanks. It’s the best way to test everything and help me make it better for actual gym rats like us.

OverLog is live on the App Store right now. I’d love to hear what you think — especially any features that would make your training smoother.

this was our first mobile application project that we decided to publish. it is an application for roommates where you can manage your home.

you can keep track of household finances, make plans and organize together.

the most exciting part was waiting for approval, much harder than coding the actual app…

but finally, here we are! we hope it helps roommates to live peacefully

I will help you market your app for free!

Hey everyone, trying to build a system to reach out to micro influencers and small creators on YouTube & Instagram and help you actually get visibility.

I'm looking for B2C Apps

Should not be vibe coded

You have to set up a affiliate revenue system ( which is how we will convince influencers to collaborate).

Comment the link of your app below & let's work together!

I'm doing it for free because I don't know what the results will be because it's new for me as well but it's worth a try!

VibeLing – language flashcard app that doesn't make you fill cards manually

VibeLing – language flashcard app that doesn't make you fill cards manually

https://preview.redd.it/viq6p6n1w1tg1.png?width=3304&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd5d9f61d9dd79f8a3d88fa7e9032ac534a25db3

Been learning English for years, then moved abroad and picked up Serbian on the side. Tried everything — Duolingo, Anki, a bunch of others. Anki has a great algorithm but honestly it's exhausting to use daily. You spend more time setting up cards than actually learning.

So I ended up building my own app. The main idea: you type any word or phrase, and the app handles everything else — translation, example sentences, audio. No manual work.

5 training modes:

  • Multiple choice (distractors are contextually similar, so you can't just guess)
  • Fill in the blank inside a real sentence
  • Spell the word from shuffled letters
  • Pronunciation practice with speech recognition
  • Classic self-assessment recall

Spaced repetition runs in the background automatically — just open the app, do your daily session (~15 min), and it decides what to review. No settings to fiddle with.

Supported languages for learning: English, Spanish, French, German, Romanian, Serbian, Russian

Price: Free — Pro subscription $4.99/month for unlimited generations and advanced stats. All core features are free.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/vibeling/id6753818507

Built this solo over 5 months, 1000+ downloads without any paid marketing. Still actively developing it. Happy to answer questions or take feedback.

I made BarBlock, an app blocker that uses barcode scanning to block distractions.
▲ 3 r/startupaccelerator+1 crossposts

I made BarBlock, an app blocker that uses barcode scanning to block distractions.

I kept trying different iPhone screen-time blockers, but they were all way too easy to bypass. I also found options such as Brick and Bloom that offer a physical device to block and unblock apps, but they were expensive.

I built BarBlock to provide all the features of a physical app blocker at a much lower cost. BarBlock lets you block selected apps by scanning any barcode you already have.

It’s available on the App Store: BarBlock Barcode App Blocker

Here are the main differences from other blocker apps:

  • Uses physical resistance (barcode scanning), not just software limits
  • No physical device to buy, unlike other physical blocker apps
  • No subscriptions, no accounts
  • Unlimited app blocking
  • Works fully offline (all data stays on your phone)

Happy to answer questions or get feedback, especially from people who’ve tried other blockers that didn’t stick.

validated on android with just SEO (got 3 annual subs). launching on ios with 1k budget. how to not burn this money?

hey guys need some brutal honest advice.

we are 2 people team. i am the developer and my freind handles growth and marketing. we test our app on android and got 3 annual subscribers with only SEO and 0 ad spend.
