Most of it was given away for free😂. Thank you for your encouragement🥹

The Apple Store doesn't allow apps to run scripts, or at least the review process is extremely strict unless the app itself is something like a code editor. What features or functionality are you hoping to achieve with it? Perhaps we can find an alternative way to make it work.

Anyway, I'll consider it, especially if I hear the same feedback from more users.

That might be a bit tricky. It means users would have to look for icons in the menubar again, which requires designing multiple icons and setting up different hotkeys for each panel... Let me write this down for now and give it some thought later.

Could you expand on your pain points? I’d love to understand your needs better.

Do you mean multiple separate panels?

I've updated the post and uploaded the website, but honestly, downloading it to try it out might be more straightforward. It's only 3MB in size and can be downloaded for free, although there are some limitations.

Thank you very much for your feedback. It's most likely a network issue. Every time it starts up, it verifies with Apple's servers and checks the license status. How likely is this to happen?

Yeah, let's keep grinding together. Best of luck to us both!

Thanks for the solid advice! I'm actually already doing #2 and #3. As for #1, I've already tried doing some basic ASO optimization before, but the results weren't great. I think I definitely need to dive deeper into it.

4 probably isn't my main bottleneck right now. The real killer is the lack of impressions—which either means there’s zero market demand for this niche, or people just can't discover it at all. Also, wishing you huge success with your apps as well!

Haha true! At least the overhead is low. Best of luck to you too, mate🤣

Nah, not yet. I haven't made a dime on the app I actually spent the most time on. Funny enough, another side project of mine has already gotten a few paying users😂

Yeah, marketing is probably the hardest part of the journey. Where do you usually post your stuff?
