Are you indie hacking a mobile app?

I am building Taskito . It's a timeline based task management app. It has over 50K+ downloads on Google Play and steady growth now.

I started building Taskito last year as a way to keep track of my work. I submitted my work to reddit and got ton of feedback. Taskito focuses more on your schedule rather than number of tasks / goals. It integrates events, tasks, reminders into one timeline so you can see your complete schedule for the day / week.

I am planning to expand the app by providing account sync & web support.

Hey all,

I'm working on Amicu App Store - a contact manager with reminders to keep in touch with people.

I'm solving my own problem here.

From traveling, volunteering and living abroad I know people in many places. Catching up is awesome, but I often forget. I almost don't use social media so that doesn’t nudge me.

I also got tired of other contacts app due to bad privacy and UX or them shutting down after being acquired.

It's growing slowly, but steady. I have only very few subscribers. But recently I got 300 upvotes on Reddit. I want to launch at ProductHunt soon.

My own need is solved, I learned a lot, but it's not a commercial success yet. I need around 4-5 more subscribers to pay the operating costs. I have 350 monthly active users.

Personally, I've lost faith in the app market. Improving the mobile presence of your SaaS by building a native app for it, sure why not. But competing with the myriads of copy cats now rampaging on both major app stores is not something I'd ever waste my time with again.

I've built a macOS and iOS flash card app called Fresh Cards. I just released it in the App Store this weekend.

I've been working on it on the side for the last year, mostly for fun, but did plan on releasing it. I built it because I hated most of the flash card apps and services I tried. There wasn't anything I could find that had easy to use UI, wasn't subscription based, and had powerful features.

The next step now is to get the word out, which obviously is a challenge if you're a dev!

I'm building a native iOS client for Indie Hackers called Moon.

It started as a scratch to my own itch and turned out to be something lots of IHers are looking for. I love IH on a desktop browser but on mobile the app feels slow, unresponsive and navigation is unintuitive because its not native to iOS.

As for how its going, I'd say pretty good! In terms of user happiness its going great. People love it and are excited about where its going.

In terms of founder happiness its a constant struggle to find time to put in deep work on the product (kids, Covid, day jobs, etc) but I'm doing what I can and staying positive! I hope to get it out of beta by the end of 2020 🤞

I’ve just launched a new version of Fells - an iOS app for logging your adventures in the Lake District, UK. It’s very niche!

I built it as a way to look back on previous trips and to plan my next one. It’s been a nice distraction whilst not been able to visit this year.

Really happy with how it’s turned out though.

Do PWAs count?

I'm building Zlappo, the ultimate Twitter growth tool, because there's tremendous value in building an audience on Twitter and then monetizing via content, like tweet storms (threads), auto-retweets, auto-plugs, etc.

Progress is great, we're seeing new paying users from various niches that I never even expected, and MRR going steadily up!

I'm building GitJournal - It's a markdown based notes app built on top of Git.

I've grown increasingly frustrated by how difficult it is to manage your data - specifically notes - if you want to keep them completely private and ever lasting. At some point I started keeping them in Git as many other developers do, this is easy to do on a desktop, but there is just no easy way to do this on the mobiles. More and more of my life is now spent in front of tablets and mobiles.

Honestly, it's going great - I've reached about 650 euros of revenue this month. This is with the target market being "you should know about git". It's really resonating with other developers, and growing at a decent pace. I'm now working on it full time and I hope to reach break-even levels in a few months. (About ~2k).

It was challenging to find a revenue model that works, as this isn't a classical SASS product and my users seem to be tired of subscriptions. I'm writing October's summary right now, but feel free to read about September - https://gitjournal.io/blog/2020-10-01-sept-update/

Actually I have already release the first version of my android app on google play store around a week ago. This app is specifically for Indian farmers. It shows daily updated prices of different crops from all over India.
I am working on it as I think there is a lot which can be done in software tech to make farmer's life easier especially in India.
As told first version is already out. And I am currently working on some more improvements.
This is the link if anyone finds it interesting and have some feedback

In July I published the 22 Dividends app for iOS and Android for dividend investors. The app focuses on the management of portfolios and less on the research for new stocks. The strength of dividend investing is that the dividend is much less volatile than the share price. I try to put this into focus and thus reduce stress for the user.

The technical infrastructure of the app is stable. The next step is to scale-up the audience (something new for me).

I am building Pleke https://pleke.com/ a personal finance app for android and iphone

I wanted an app with some special features like dealing with finance payments, credit card statements and payments and dealing with budget on a cash basis, which means the budget item is affected on the month the cash leaves your account (might be after 40 days for credit card purchases)

I plan on launching it at the end of this month on PH

I've taken longer getting my MVP ready by creating shared backend services. So whilst I'm launching the website first, I can leverage the same code for the mobile app

For me the balance is working out what to do first. I've built the technology platform to make the mobile app an easier second phase. The challenge is trying to get something ready for the first phase, whilst also not being so focused on MVP that anything extra becomes too hard

Awesome, wasn't aware that there is a mobile group here.

What are you building?
Wishpy - https://wishpy.com/
It's a wishlist app. You save what you want and if you sign up through phone number then friends who have the app and you in the contact book can sneak-peak what you wish for.

Currently Android is released, iOS coming soon.

Why are you building it?
First I've started to build is to play with Flutter (I'm native Android dev), but it was going on so easily that I actually proceeded to have a public build.
Also, I've received some feedback, that people would like to use it.

How's it going?
It's around 6 months I'm building it after hours, but overall great. This time I'm doing all by myself so I needed to learn a little bit more about NoSQL DB (Firebase Firestore) to tackle it properly.

I've never build anything on iOS so I'm figuring out this part now.

Flutter is such a great framework. In normal conditions I'd have to find additional iOS developer to finish this project on both platforms.

So far I just have couple of users, but I want to test it on a small group, to see what costs Firebase will generate.

I'm building http://appstorespy.com/ It's a new Mobile App Intelligence

SnapMob (https://www.snapmob.io) is on-demand affordable photography. With our app anyone can be a paid photographer. Simple to use UI/UX. Users can take photos with their smartphone or a camera, upload the pictures and send them to customers. There is no scheduling, no endless phone calls, no expensive or time-consuming photoshoots.
 
We remove the anxiety of scheduling a photographer because now anyone can be your photographer.
 
SnapMob is perfect for people looking to make extra cash, photographers looking to fill their calendar, students seeking to practice skills, and vendors seeking to make additional income - simply by taking photos.

I'm building https://houndreminders.com. It's an app to schedule reminders to other people.

I built it to remind my parents to take medication when I was not present to manage it myself.

It's going fine! I get 3 or 4 new users per month and I have conversations going with several of them where they ask for features. It's fun to maintain something that a small group of people find useful.

Hi! I'm currently working on my the new App for photo editing.

I had a lot of request from my other app users that they are missing some functionality, so I thought of creating a better version for them.

It's going pretty well. I spent last 4 month on it and today submitted it to the AppStore for review. 🤞
So far got only 200 testers, most of them came from the post on reddit and twitter. You check the beta version of Cre8 - Photo Editor on Airport.

With Midwest Streams we are making a major push into the mobile space. We are a live streaming company that used to work from a camera attached to a laptop. We just launched our IOS app in August and it’s been a game changer!! Everyone loves how easy it is to stream from a phone. It also improved our stream quality.

We plan on pushing even further into the mobile space, and running our entire SaaS off of a mobile app.

I’m not sure if it counts as a mobile app, you be the judge of that.

My mission is to make web apps and web plugins feel less like the web (you know, slow and clunky), they should be just as awesome and fluid as native.

To that end I’m currently building version 2 of Doka Image Editor and the interactions on mobile rival or surpass that of native image editing apps. And this is on my old iPhone SE.

I’m hoping to publish this new version by the end of the month, 2 years after releasing the first version of Doka.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a mobile product directly but it feels highly relevant!

I'm originally an iOS developer who has built and launched several mobile apps over the years. In my ASO pursuit, I was trying to stay on top of customer app reviews to figure out what to build next and increase my star rating so I built a small internal tool to have my app reviews posted to a Slack channel.

I was getting a lot of value out of this internal tool so I decided to package it up so that other developers could use it as well which spawned: https://appreviewbot.com/

I listed AppReviewBot on the Slack App Directory which helped some folks find it and these days I split my time around 50/50 on AppReviewBot and other mobile app projects. I added support for Google Play Store app reviews earlier this year and I'm nearing launch for support for posting reviews to Microsoft Teams channels as well!

If anyone is interested in monitoring their app reviews please do check it out: https://appreviewbot.com/

Hello !

As a languages enthusiast, I never found a satisfying app to help me keeping track of vocabulary.
I launched Leximio weeks ago !
With this app you can:

• add term or expression (automatic language detection among 40+ languages)
• translate it (automatic language detection among 40+ languages)
• add a example sentence to help your memorise the term
• add a personal note if you want

I also put a roadmap into the app to let users vote for the next features they want to have.

Today, I'm trying to get more users and god... it's not easy at all !

What are you building? UiWorks.io - mobile app UI @ fixed price ( swift, Kotlin, react native, flutter)
Why are you building it? So all mobile app developer can focus on logical part of the app instead spending more time on making pixel perfect UI on all screen sizes.
How's it going?
So far there are 46 emails in waitlist.

Are you interested? Add your email here I will arrange a call.

we just build invoicing app for freelancers: https://www.billdu.com/invoice-software-for-freelancers/?ref=producthunt
BTW we are launching it on Product Hunt in a few hours, check it out here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/billdu

I built [https://www.unityweather.com/](Unity Weather) - a simple weather app which shows all measurements in Imperial and Metric units.

Built it for my wife and myself, as American living in EU.

Built with React Native. Though I'm considering splitting out to true native dev because I'd like to add widgets, which can't be built with frameworks like React Native due to limitations. I've also been trying to consider ways to monetize it without making it ugly or frustrating for users.

I am building Memorize, an Anki alternative for iOS that is focused on design, usability, and adding features incrementally.
It is still in early days and all feedback is welcome.

I'm building and built many apps with Flutter or Godot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Alphabrend

They are going not good but not bad. When I built web apps, few users used. Web is so difficult marketing. But mobile app, some users are. And some subscriptions are working a little. So fun.

Working on a weather app with a dungeons and dragons theme.

It would be great if this app works replace my full time income. But if it could atleast supplement my income, fanatic!

I just put it up on Google play for internal testing.

Yes! I am building deposur.
Mobile cross-platform app for tracking your finances, stocks, and ETFs.
It is going well, challenges are mainly marketing and engineering effort of course.

We've implemented everything with a serverless backend on AWS, react-native in the frontend.

This is my app:
Company 360
iOS app available on the AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/company-360/id1464857130

Pitch and description:
Research data to invest in quality undervalued companies. Benefit from formulas used by investment professionals.

Value investors profit by investing in quality companies. Because their method relies on determining the worth of company’s stock, value investors don't pay attention to the external factors such as market volatility and daily price fluctuations. Their goal is to purchase shares determined to be undervalued.

Company 360 pulls together company profile, investors, earnings, insider trading and annual financial statements. Analysis includes:

• Valuation based on key indicators, P/E Ratio and prof. Benjamin Graham (Warren Buffett’s teacher) formulas for intrinsic value.
• Formulas and input data are explained in detail.
• Dividend Yield calculation.
  Formulas below are based on academic research:
• Magic Formula Screener.
• Piotroski F-Score: Formula that identified financially strong companies even during crisis of 2007-2008.
• Bankruptcy Test (Altman Z-Score): Formula to check if company is heading for bankruptcy.
• Earnings Fraud Test (Beneish M-Score): Formula that exposed earnings manipulation by Enron
  By popular demand:
  *Sentiment analysis against WallStreetBets forum on Reddit. Top 50 WSB trending stocks are used for sentiment analysis.

Thanks for facilitating this, Rosie!

LIFE Intelligence is a science-backed complete self, career, relationship development app. I know self care and self therapy apps have blown up alongside meditation the last few years, so I have a lot of competition.

We differentiate by being a very robust, all-in-one tool. Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness comprising <1% of our content. To comprehensively manage your stress, anxiety, emotions, improve goals, decisions, time productivity, and build lasting relationships with marriage counseling and leadership studies. Our goal is to provide 100% the content of therapy, leadership coaching, and relationship counseling at <1% the time/price.

Android coming out in beta soon! Would love your involvement - sign up @ https://www.lifeintelligence.io/android

We launched in November, front page of Product Hunt, and are already seeing a good clip growth in downloads, revenue, using IAP subscriptions. But I feel the pain a lot of others here have brought up - it's really tough to compete in the app store alongside well-funded competitors, like Calm and Headspace pouring millions into ads. Has anyone found any better marketing tactics? Currently we are working avidly on organic: SEO and guerilla tactics like Twitter, etc.

Would love your app feedback, advice, and if you like it, maybe even a 5-star review :) Happy to return the favor!

Me too use google adds

I'm building Feeds, https://feeds-app.com , an app that turns websites into RSS-feeds. Great for sites that don't have RSS and has full-text RSS for the rest. Works best for news-like websites.
Includes an AI to sort out the information overload.

I'm primarily building it since I use it so much myself and there is nothing like it. It saves me tremendous amount of time every day.

Its going quite bad actually, I don't seem to be able to reach anybody. Have only a couple of hundred downloads. Need to improve my marketing skills!

I'm building iCuerpo, a gym workout tracker for people to manage their reps/weights/rest time in an easy way.

It's my first time publishing something to iOS/Android app stores.

I'm builing it because I think there is no easy to use app on this niche. They are either too basic or too complex to use with lots of unwanted features.

Right now I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to monetize it.

Hi @rosiesherry, I am building Habit Daemon a habit tracker for iOS only.
I am trying to get it on the App Store before the end of the year, in time to help you with all your New Year's Resolutions! It will be a free, fully functioning product, with some In App Purchases to enhance the experience.
As a small developer I can optimise and deliver upgrades faster if I don't have to maintain across different platforms, so made the decision to go with iOS only.
I would rather make one elegant, reliable, optimised App than try to dominate all markets. There are several habit trackers on the market, but I found many of them overcomplicated and potentially source of distraction and procrastination from getting on with the task they are supposed to encourage. With that in mind the USP of Habit Daemon is that it has an elegant minimalist UI ... oh .. and a Daemon!

I'm building Parrot because there's still a lot that needs to be done in the podcast space. Nobody had nailed it yet.
We built is just for iOS first but took a step back to rebuild in react native and now are feeling way better about our ability to deliver quickly in the future.
Parrot.fm
(Android coming soon with the react native rebuild. )

Carefully is a mobile app for parents to create trusted networks to share care, organize playdates, and create group events. I originally started it so I could have a few extra hours to myself and my son (who is extremely extrovert) could have more playdates. Now that childcare has become such a big issue, I've realized it serves a bigger purpose in helping to make childcare affordable and helps us re-connect with our communities. The app development is the easy part, and my biggest challenge now is getting traction with users to build out their networks. I'm starting to focus on that now that the core feature set is there for iOS, but I'm still working on finishing the android app.

I'm building multiple iOS apps right now and I never thought I would get to this point.

Countdown gives you information about how long you have before any upcoming event in your calendar. I've described about why I built another Countdown app in the midst of already many existing apps in this milestone post. It's mainly because all those apps had the same problem. Its got 200+ downloads and one percent conversion rate.

Swimbols is a tool for iOS developers to design SF Symbols and export SwiftUI code. I built this mainly to solve the problems I had when working with SF Symbols mac app and Xcode. Its got only 20+ downloads but 10% conversion rate.

ie. both of my apps have two paid users each. 😜

I've done no self-promoting or marketing, except for some occasional tweets. I'm working on polishing the apps before spreading the word even more.

I'm also working on a design tool for mobile, which helps to design and preview live in your iPad and iPhone. It also will generate SwiftUI code for the designed views, which you can put in Xcode and connect with business logic. It is in private beta, right now. If anyone wants to be part of the fun ride, let me know.

I got the idea for this design tool because most of the time, inspiration strikes for new designs of my app only when I'm in the wild and away from my Mac. So I decided to build a design tool I can carry wherever I go. And I can see the design live in my mobile, how it will look. It feels to be the most challenging project I've worked on till now and that is where the fun lies.

I'm working on Delightful for iOS & Android. I haven't as much time & focus lately to work on updates but I have lots of stuff planned.

One recent cool thing, I saw a boost of downloads on election day & then did some sleuthing to find out that a school in Ireland is doing a "gratitude month" with their students & staff and recommend my app as the preferred tool. My app also recently got linked in a NAMI.org resources guide for medical professionals, which is amazing because I've consumed lots of NAMI content in the past to learn more about mental illness.
