I made my first $33.71 in October 2026 🚀!

I launched on October 30th-it's my very first app iSurge. Building it was a journey, but getting that very first paying customer was a surreal feeling.

Current goal: 5/100 users.

Turns out building the product was the easy part but marketing and finding users is the real challenge.

Loving the indie hacker journey so far though!

That’s 16 revenue streams with 0 employees, 90% profit margins, and time for the gym every day.

A new personal record, I think 🤗

Black Friday deal 🛍️ iSurge by @ruthranbaskar: 50% off until Nov 30. The ultimate Activity Monitor for your Mac, with per-app sound control and disk cleanup.

[Ruthran @ruthranbaskar]

Agreed, it's strange that it's still missing. Until Apple adds it, you need a third-party app that routes sound through its own audio driver: SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba is the polished paid option, and Background Music is a free open-source one, though it's worth checking that it works on your macOS version. If you only need a quick fix, many apps like Spotify, Zoom and Discord have their own volume slider, so you can turn one down inside the app and leave the system volume alone.

iSurge - System Monitoring Tool 🚀 The ultimate Activity Monitor for your Mac, with per-app sound control and disk cleanup

https://t.co/wSzoFI1jUJ

[Ruthran @ruthranbaskar]

You can get the same answer without an agent: run `top -o cpu` in Terminal to see what's on top, then in Activity Monitor choose View > All Processes, Hierarchically to see which shell or editor started it. Leftover scratch scripts and dev servers usually show up as node or python under a terminal you forgot about.

I made iSurge, a Mac menu bar monitor whose Developers tab lists each project's servers and ports with their CPU and memory, flags what kept running after you closed the editor, and pauses a project in a click: https://t.co/GF8j9KcjZy

Congrats on the first sale. A stranger paying anything is the hardest line to cross, and explaining a slow, hot or loud Mac in plain English is the part people actually seem to want. Do you know how they found Taskglass, through search or a post like this one?

I made iSurge, which tackles the same problem, so this one was nice to see: https://t.co/RDK20DSO8P

[Ruthran @ruthranbaskar]

Thank you dan! iSurge is a system monitor for Mac. It shows which app is slowing your Mac, in plain words, right from the notch/notchless mac or the menu bar.

It also has:
- Keep Awake, which keeps your Mac awake, even with the lid closed
- A Focus Timer beside the notch or menu bar.
- Disk clean-up, which shows what's taking space and what's safe to clear
- Alerts when your Mac gets slow, hot, or an app crashes
-For developers: see what's on every port and free it in one click, see which containers run and what memory they use, and keep Homebrew tidy.

It's for anyone who works on a Mac all day and wants to know what it's really doing.
