My app portfolio did $4,722 in June. May was $4,330. +9%.
Last month's +178% was the paywall and pricing rebuild firing once. June is the normalized rate: slower, organic grind, nothing multiplied.
10+ apps are live, but Sober Tracker is still ~69% of revenue. The good part: that's down from 75%.
Supplements Tracker (~$600) and Anxiety Pulse (~$355, was $12 six weeks ago) are finally pulling weight.
Pricing: I cut iOS prices on June 5 to lift conversion, and I'm testing a price increase on Android to see if the higher-intent market absorbs it. Reading both now.
Honest part: a chunk of gross is one-time lifetime purchases, so I think July prints lower on gross (and price experiment, yeah). But the recurring core says otherwise. Sober Tracker's MRR alone is now $781, more than the entire portfolio's MRR in May. Active paying subs just hit an all-time high (337). A July gross dip would be lifetime timing, not decline.
Or not? Lifetimes track organic traffic, and traffic is still growing. If lifetime volume holds or grows with traffic, "one-time" is the wrong frame, and it's just a lumpier recurring line.
Ad spend: ~$0, pure organic. I'm still hunting a paid setup that pays back. Or influencers? Undecided.
Grow the small apps? Add a new lever to Sober Tracker? Create more apps? Let's see in July.

My biggest advice,
Don’t listen to 99% of the
Slop you hear on X
It’s mostly all misleading
Just to name a few:
> shadow bans don’t exist,
your content just sucks
> 100 views average is not
shadow banned
> Ads do work
> UGC does work
> Account warm up only takes 5 minutes, not 3 days
always wild when people say “i don’t care about fame”…
you posted your indie app 5 times a day across every platform… for fun?
you added “solo founder. bootstrapped. 0 to $10K MRR” to your bio… for fun?
you’re replying to every comment with “thanks for the support!” like a politician on campaign… for fun?
let’s be real, we all want the clout.
just own it. makes life simpler.
X is becoming the everything app of the west
this is the best time to grow your brand on X
it’s far easier to grow here than on other social medias too
LOCK INNNN

My software developer friend made 10million naira last month
He is just 22.
No connections.
He is a Computer Science grad.
No salary, no gig for the last one year but last month he made 10million naira.
What changed?
He stopped looking for jobs.
And started selling his dad’s land.
