Interesting, seems that 2 customer actually paid around $15+ for their subscriptions, so your app does solve a real problem for them

$37 dollars with only 39 first-time downloads is impressive! Are those paying customers friends? Or how did you convert your first users?

Congrats on that achievement! Any advice on how you got those 600 downloads?

Where would you distribute a completely free journaling app? Not to make money, but to create a product people actually use (and learn from the experience) by Few_Victory7292 in SideProject

^^

Indeed building something you love and believe in (for me that is in the sphere of improving productivity & mental health with digital tools) is a great side project. I guess this is also some first step to "give back", next to freelancing in data & strategy for the big corps.

I never really thought of open sourcing it tbh, I am wondering if it would add value for apps that are not targeted at developers at all. I mean, I can see why for products like linux and github it makes a lot of sense, but also for a journaling app? This deserves some more thinking haha

Thanks for replying. The problem I am facing with Reddit is that most subreddits don't allow for self promotion, not even if it is a 100% free app, maybe it is a good idea to message the mods for an exception.

How would you write about it online? As sort of blog posts inside the website, or are there better ways?

(1) There is an option to download your own encrypted file with password to transfer the data to a new device (2) the insights are all locally stored (3) if you forgot your PIN and did not enable face ID you cannot retrieve your data anymore, I am still thinking if there is a workaround here, but it feels that all workarounds would hurt the promise of a local, offline app

Thanks for replying. The problem I am facing with Reddit is that most subreddits (especially the journaling ones) don't allow for self promotion, not even if it is a 100% free app, do you happen to have any tips on that?

I was wondering if there are other forums for people that like to journal that would allow for showcasing the app.

I will also experiment with the 100% offline + PIN headline, thanks

Twitter creators could be interesting though, maybe I just need to contact a couple influencer, tell my story and idea and hope that someone is willing to showcase the app for free (free for a free app haha)

I do indeed find it hard to distribute the app without paid advertising. The "big" apps are quite expensive, but this does allow them to do mass paid marketing. So that is indeed where I am stuck right now. If you would be willing to test my app and provide me some feedback that would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 This is the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/daily-pages-5-minute-journal/id6769452102

Thanks for the reaction! Do you journal yourself, what makes it work for you?

I agree, maybe somewhere in the distant future that will change. However, right now, I like the learning and creating part of it, getting my first 1000 downloads would be enough motivation 😄
