My goal used to be hitting $10K/month.

Now I’m doing over 16K downloads a month and running at a $2.80 ARPU.

Crazy how fast things can change when you stay locked in.

$120K MRR app breakdown:

Tamagotchi, but for staying focused.

Set a focus timer → your virtual pet stays happy → earn decorations to customize your room as you stay off distracting apps.

If you give up and open social media, your pet gets sad.

Most founders try to build complex productivity dashboards with 50 features.

Hank Green took a simple Pomodoro mechanic, paired it with a cozy virtual pet loop, and scaled it to $120K+ MRR.

Gamification + emotional attachment > another generic task manager.

Would you build something like this?

[FoundrFam 📊 @arexobcd]

Be honest.

Would you use your own product?

[Noctral Spy @noctralspy]

Simple niche mobile apps are quietly printing money right now.

And most founders are still overthinking their first product.

Look at what is actually ranking in the App Store:

Pick an underserved, high-intent niche → wrap simple AI generation or basic daily mechanics → add a paywall before the value.

Daily bible verses.
Mini games.
Scan and identify apps.

You do not need a revolutionary idea to build a profitable SaaS.

You just need a proven habit loop, clear distribution, and zero friction.

Stop overcomplicating your tech stack.

Find an existing daily behavior → build the simplest mobile interface for it → monetize with a weekly subscription.

Would you build something this simple?

Day 286 of Building in Public.

Goal is to earn $6,000 in September.

Current progress:

Installs: 2,104(+114)
Revenue: $2,307(+82)
MRR: $1,740 (+51)

I connected a server to App Store purchases, so I can check them in real time.

Your app makes $2K/month

Someone offers you $100K for it

You selling?

[max @MaxHirsch13]

It took me 6 months to make my first dollar from my mobile app. You can do it faster.

I’m genuinely convinced if you’re active on X, semi competent, and follow these accounts, you can speedrun everything and make $10k in 1 month of building.

彼は1年ちょっとでジムアプリの収益を月3600万円まで成長させてきたが、その過程で合計8万本ほどのショート動画を500アカウントくらい運用して投稿してきたらしい。エグい。
ショート動画マーケで成果を出してるアプリ起業家は、たまたまのバズとかじゃなくて狂気的な行動で色んなフォーマットを投稿しまくってる。その中で勝ちフォーマットを見つけたら擦りまくる。これが定石な気がする。例えば以下の動画なんて、ただジムアプリをランキングで表示しているモノ。これが1.2万イイね。バズりまくってる。一番上のランクには彼のアプリが存在してる。
そして、このフォーマットはランキングやアプリを入れ替えれば色んなパターンを作れるのが強い！

こういうアプリを伸ばすショート動画フォーマットを「Onbo Hub（オンボハブ）」に貯めてますので是非👇️

Months of building, and we're still sitting at $0 in revenue

[Studiyo @Studiyoco]

Your app could be making $100K MRR.

But if the first impression isn’t memorable, people will forget it.

That’s why we added a mascot.

Here’s the onboarding we designed

It is much harder to keep track of everything when you have multiple apps.

[Easlo @heyeaslo]

I like making minimalist apps.

[Mohit Vaswani @hii_mohit]

if you need motivation to build startups and make a lot of money

just start watching Marc lou's vlogs

[brock @brockksells]

is it weird to that i do $58k/month MRR as a 17 year old high school student?

to get to this point is genuinely not hard, so there’s definitely different feelings at $500k/month

anyways keep grinding🙏

[Nico Bustelo @nicobustelo__]

Lance mi primera app hace casi 3 semanas y hoy ya pasamos los 1500 usd 🥹

Los resultados han sido inconsistentes principalmente porque todavía no pude dedicarle todo el tiempo que me gustaría, pero queremos cerrar este primer mes con todo.

El próximo objetivo: nuestro primer 1K day.

Hasta ahora todo esto salió de 1 cuenta de TikTok + 1 de Instagram. Esta semana terminamos de warmear 6 cuentas nuevas.

Ahora le voy a meter a escalar al fallo 📈
