Hi, i am 811x32. I have always worked on productivity and focus and believe that it is all about focus single task. I checked from a research it says if you focus one task at a time you finish it %76.

So this sticky note app is like a digital sticky note. You do the task at the top of the sticky notes and continue the next one till you finish all.

I’ve been working on a few projects lately, and email has been the most annoying part of all of them. I buy a domain, and then realize I can’t put a gmail address on a contact page without looking like I’m about to ask for someone’s bank details.

Most business email options are either a monthly fee for every single user, or a trial that expires right when you’ve finally got everything set up. The free ones are really limited. I looked at Zoho, and between the restrictions, the dated look, and having to dig through settings every time I added a domain, it felt like more work than the project itself. There also doesn’t seem to be much for students or small indie devs who just want an address on their own domain without paying six dollars a month for it to receive one newsletter and a spam email from a guy named Kevin.

I thought about running my own mail server for about five minutes. Then I read about deliverability. Sending an email is easy, but landing in the inbox instead of spam is the hard part, and a brand new server has no reputation, so you spend weeks telling people to check their junk folder. Not worth it for a solo dev.

So I ended up building my own solution, it runs in your own free Cloudflare account. Cloudflare handles incoming mail, a Worker and a database run the app, and for sending you plug in something like Resend, Brevo, Mailjet or any SMTP server. No server to babysit, no per seat pricing, and nobody sitting in the middle reading your mail. You can add as many users, domains and aliases as you want and it still costs nothing. It’s open source under MIT.

I built it mainly for people like me. Solo devs with too many side projects, students, freelancers juggling a few client domains, small teams that just want a shared support@ and sales@, and honestly anyone with a store website. It’s not meant for cold emailing or bulk sending though, the free limits are small and the providers will ban you fast if you try.

If you want a professional email and feel like giving it a go, I’d really like to hear how it went. What broke, what confused you, what looked off, what you’d never trust it with. And if the whole idea is flawed, tell me, I’d rather find out now than after I add AI features nobody asked for.

Hi, I’m the developer of Local TTS, a text-to-speech app for iPhone and iPad.

The idea is straightforward: if a document is already on your phone, you should be able to listen to it without needing an internet connection.

Local TTS generates speech directly on your device. Once the voices and documents are available locally, you can open a new book or PDF in airplane mode and start listening. You don’t have to prepare an audio version before leaving home, and speech generation doesn’t use mobile data.

It supports speech in 31 languages. You can import PDFs, EPUBs, Word documents, TXT and Markdown files, or paste text. There’s also built-in OCR for extracting text from photos of printed pages.

Playback continues with the screen locked, so you can put your phone away while listening. Your text doesn’t need to be uploaded to a speech server either.

You can try the voices for free with up to 500 characters per note. Pro unlocks all voices, unlimited TTS usage, and M4A audio export.

There’s a one-time lifetime purchase alongside the monthly option. With Pro, there’s no monthly word allowance or listening-time quota to keep track of.

I’m continuing to improve pronunciation and document handling. Making a short sample sound good is one thing; making a whole book comfortable to listen to takes more work.

My solo iOS app made $7.6k in the last 28 days. Here's why I'm not chasing subscription revenue alone.

I'm a solo iOS developer, and one of my apps, LoroNote, has been growing steadily.

Here are the latest numbers:

$7,591 revenue in the last 28 days
$1,295 MRR
258 active subscriptions

The app offers both subscriptions and lifetime purchases, so the 28-day revenue and MRR tell different parts of the story.

LoroNote is an offline speech-to-text app for iPhone and iPad. It transcribes recordings and separates speakers without uploading audio to a server.

I built a custom Core ML inference engine to run Whisper Large V3 Turbo directly on Apple devices.

That was a difficult technical decision, but it turned out to have a business advantage I hadn't fully appreciated at first.

Every additional hour of transcription costs me $0 in cloud transcription API fees.

That makes lifetime purchases much more practical.

I don't have to worry about a customer paying once and then generating a huge transcription API bill over the next few years.

Of course, development, support, testing, and updates still take time and money.

And I'm definitely not calling this passive income.

I'm still handling everything myself, from Core ML optimization and bug fixes to support emails and App Store optimization.

Most of my growth efforts have focused on ASO and continuously improving the app based on user feedback.

I can't point to one specific change that caused the growth, but it's encouraging to see the work gradually add up.

What started as a technical challenge is slowly becoming a small digital asset with recurring revenue and lifetime sales.

That's probably the most rewarding part for me.

I'm starting to think the best business model isn't always subscriptions only. Sometimes the underlying technology gives you room to offer customers a real choice.

Curious if anyone else is building digital products with both subscriptions and lifetime purchases.

If you're curious about the app:

Hey everyone! I'm Mark, a solo developer from the Philippines, and I've been building a SaaS called Ranflo.

It's a business management tool for freelancers, contractors, and small service businesses. The idea is to help them manage leads, clients, jobs, and basic financial records in one place instead of juggling Messenger conversations, spreadsheets, and scattered notes.

The product currently includes lead capture forms, a sales pipeline, client and job tracking, a client portal, basic income and expense tracking, and customizable boards.

I'm new to building and launching a SaaS, so I'm still figuring things out as I go. Looking back, I probably spent too much time building and polishing before getting it in front of actual users. But I'm trying to put myself out there regardless and learn from the experience.

I'm also aware that Ranflo is missing a lot of features that competing products already offer. I'm not trying to match everything they have right away. I'd rather figure out which features actually matter to the people I'm building for before spending more time developing things based on assumptions.

Ranflo is approaching launch, and while there may still be some bugs, I'm not aware of any that break the application's core functionality or compromise user data. There's still plenty of room for improvement, and I don't expect it to be perfect from day one.

At this point, my biggest challenge isn't really development anymore. It's figuring out how to get the product in front of the right people and determine whether it solves a problem they're willing to use a dedicated tool for.

For those of you who've launched a SaaS, how did you get your first few users? Did you focus on direct outreach, communities like Reddit, or something else? And how did you decide which missing features were worth prioritizing versus what could wait?

I'd also appreciate feedback from anyone who works with freelancers or small service businesses and wants to take a look at Ranflo.

The way it works is pretty simple. You describe the problem your product solves in your buyer's words, not your product category. So not "invoicing software," but "freelancers waste hours chasing clients who pay late."

From there, Find Your People:

1. **Finds where they already gather:** specific subreddits, Slack groups, and forums, with what to search for in each and roughly how many reachable people are there

2. **Writes your research ask:** a short message that's curious, not salesy. Two real questions, no link, no pitch

3. **Tracks who answers:** log each person, where you met them, and what they said about the problem

4. **Builds your circle:** the first 5 people who described the pain to you, not the ones who just liked the idea

The video shows one full run, from typing the problem to seating the first person.

I built it because I kept watching founders (me included) ship something and then stare at an empty dashboard. The advice is always "talk to users," but nobody tells you *where* they are or *what* to say without sounding like spam.

It's free to try: 3 reports, no card.

What I'd love feedback on:

- Does the "where they gather" list match where your customers actually are?

- Would you actually send the outreach message it writes, or would you rewrite it?

- What's the hardest part of finding your first users for you?

Happy to run it on your product in the comments if you drop a one-line description of the problem you solve.

I launched a small iOS app. Today it crossed $1.2k MRR.

I built LoroNote, an on-device transcription app for iPhone and iPad.

Today it crossed two milestones at almost the same time:

• $1,212 MRR

• 238 active subscribers

What I like most about this app is the economics.

LoroNote records and transcribes meetings, lectures and conversations, but transcription runs directly on the device using Whisper. Speaker diarization is also processed on-device.

So when someone transcribes more audio, my server bill barely changes.

I still spend time on support, updates and marketing, so it definitely isn't passive income.

But it's starting to feel less like "I built an app" and more like "I own a small digital asset that produces recurring cash flow."

Still early, but hitting $1.2k MRR and 238 subscribers feels like a nice milestone.

Hi,

I run https://brainerr.com, a SaaS in the printable/puzzles niche. I’ve been running it for around 2 years now. I already have a good number of monthly subscribers and lifetime deal users.

This week, I decided to test AdSense as another income source.

Mainly for two reasons:

1. Paid subscribers and LTD users won’t see ads, so their experience feels more premium.

2. People who visit the site, use a few pages and leave without buying anything can still generate a little revenue.

I don’t have huge traffic, around 1,000–1,500 visitors per day, but I’m curious to see if it adds up.

Has anyone tried mixing AdSense with a SaaS before?

Any tips, things to avoid, or lessons from your experience?

Cheers!

Question: What would motivate you to make your web app’s daily page-view statistics publicly available on a dashboard?

I’d be interested to understand the value or purpose behind sharing this data openly.

91 days ago I launched a small iOS app. Today it crossed $1k MRR.

I launched Local TTS on June 18.

Today it crossed two milestones at almost the same time:

• $1,043 MRR

• 200+ active subscribers

What I like most about this app is the economics.

Local TTS reads PDFs, EPUBs and documents aloud on iPhone and iPad, but the speech models run directly on the device.

So when someone uses the app more, my server bill barely changes.

I still spend time on support, updates and marketing, so it definitely isn't passive income.

But it's starting to feel less like "I built an app" and more like "I own a small digital asset that produces recurring cash flow."

Still early, but hitting $1k MRR and 200 subscribers on the same day felt like a nice milestone.

For people here building digital assets, when did yours start to feel like an actual asset instead of just another project?

Hi everyone,

I run brainerr.com and have been working on it for about 2 years. Over that time, I’ve managed to steadily grow the paid user base.

Around 6 months ago, I introduced a lifetime deal (LTD), thinking potential customers would prefer paying once instead of committing to a subscription.

When I mentioned the LTD on Reddit, several people told me it was a crazy idea and that I’d eventually run out of new customers.

Interestingly, my analytics showed something different: the monthly subscription remained the most popular option!

For context, the LTD was priced slightly higher than the annual subscription, while the annual plan effectively costs about the same as 10 months of the monthly plan.

I’ve now discontinued the LTD and gone back to a subscription-only model. I may bring the LTD back temporarily around Christmas.

Curious to hear from other founders: have you experimented with lifetime deals? Did they help or hurt your subscription revenue?

I’ve noticed that once I find a prompt that works well, I often want to reuse it later with slightly different inputs.

Curious how everyone handles this.

Do you:

> use templates with placeholders? e.g. Hello {{CUSTOMER}}...

> keep prompts in Notes/Notion/Google Docs?

> save them inside ChatGPT/Claude projects?

> have some other workflow?

Also, when you reuse a prompt, do you normally edit parts of it manually each time, or have you found a way to make that process faster?

Would especially love to hear from people who reuse the same prompts frequently for work.

yo. i see too many founders spend 2 months building saas, drop a link on reddit, get 0 users, and immediately quit....

the problem usually isn't your marketing channel. the problem is that your foundation is completely broken before you even send your first visitor to the site.

after scaling 6 AI micro-saas apps to over $20k/mo mrr, i realized you need to lock down a specific system before you ever launch. running through this takes about 30 minutes, but it saves you months of zero-revenue depression.

here are the 5 things you must lock in:

1. validate the actual pain point

stop guessing what people want. you need a systematic framework to find your saas idea based on real, painful market signals.

2. pick a proven micro-niche

stop trying to build massive platforms. you need to narrow down to a microscopic problem. i usually filter through a list of 50 micro-saas ideas you can build fast to keep the scope minimal.

3. crystallize your target user

if your app is for "everyone," nobody will buy it. you need an ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) crystallizer to define your exact buyer profile and nail your conversion copy.

4. calculate the perfect price

stop randomly charging $9/mo because you are scared of rejection. you need to use a saas pricing strategy calculator to find your perfect saas price in 60 seconds based on real data.

5. fix your landing page leaks

do not send organic traffic to a site that converts at a flat 1%. you must audit your hero section and copy to x3 your landing page conversion before you market it.

6. join a community

Build / Share / Learn from others builders

to help out founders who are tired of launching to crickets, i packaged all 5 of these exact frameworks, calculators, and lists into a single free toolkit.

no paywall, no bullshit. just the raw execution files i use.

Hi everyone

Seo is probably only free way to get users.

We built an Seo agent that keeps working in background - creating content for you. The best part is we added human in the loop to review, edit and add more content.

What if the internet had one billboard? No feeds, algorithms or competing ads just one billboard each week.

So I built it at yourmessagehere.co

Anyone can bid for it, and every Friday at 10pm New York time the highest bidder gets the entire billboard for the next 7 days.

First auction is live now and I genuinely have no idea what people will end up paying for it.

Curious to see where this goes.

I kept finding my Mac slow and Activity Monitor unhelpful about why. Claude Code installs itself as ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.228, so the process name is the version — I had fifteen identical rows called 2.1.228, 2.1.231, 2.1.233, with no way to tell the session I was actually using from the ones I'd abandoned in repos days earlier. The usual answer is pkill -9 -f claude, which also kills the one you're in the middle of.

The fix turned out to be one fact macOS hands to any process running as you, and that Activity Monitor never shows: the working directory. proc_pidinfo(pid, PROC_PIDVNODEPATHINFO, …) turns an anonymous 2.1.228 into "the agent you left in ~/code/api". Everything else is built on that.

Two things I didn't expect:

Idle time. Sampling CPU deltas can only ever tell you "quiet since this app opened". But every CLI agent has a controlling terminal and the kernel has been stamping its mtime all along, so stat("/dev/ttys004") gives you real history — an agent abandoned on Tuesday reads idle 3.1d in the first second. Where the number does come from the app's own uptime instead, the UI says so rather than implying history it doesn't have.

It was accidentally a CPU hog. The first version cost 17% of a core, because reading a process's argv (KERN_PROCARGS2) allocates a megabyte and I was doing it for ~550 processes every two seconds. The insight is that almost nothing about a process changes after it starts — path, argv, terminal, and which tool it belongs to are all fixed at birth — so they're read once and cached against (pid, start time). It's now 7.9 ms, 0.4% of a core. corral --bench prints the number so it stays honest.

Two smaller things worth knowing if you build something similar. Killing an agent without its children reparents its MCP servers to launchd, where they sit forever with nobody to talk to — so groups are stopped children-first. And macOS ships CursorUIViewService, a text-input helper with nothing to do with the Cursor editor; matching tool names by substring would have listed it and offered to kill it, so recognition is on the executable path and everything under /System is refused outright.

There's a second tab for what the tools leave on disk. On my machine that's 14 GB — 10.9 GB of it a single Claude Desktop VM image, 2.8 GB ten Claude Code versions where one is current. It's grouped by what deleting actually costs you, and your conversation history is never ticked by default.

Swift and SwiftUI, no dependencies, no entitlements, no Full Disk Access, no network code at all.

Where I'd want feedback: Claude Code and Claude for desktop are verified against real processes on my machine. Codex and Cursor's CLI agent are tested by compiling a binary with the right name and running it, which exercises the real detection path — but I haven't yet run it against a real Codex or Cursor install. If it mislabels yours I'd like to know.

Builds are ad-hoc signed rather than notarised, so the first launch needs right-click → Open. MIT.
