Today marks a small anniversary — 6 months of my indie app journey. Looking at my RevenueCat dashboard from back then compared to now, I couldn’t have imagined reaching this point in just half a year.
In 6 months, I’ve published 23 apps, and around 80% of them haven’t even hit
Ok.. this is absolutely INSANE!!!
4 days ago I hit my €7k MRR goal... and today... I accidentally hit another one 
.
Ok, This growth is just due to weekly subs, it's just MRR and my real revenue is still behind that, I don't know whether churn/retention will be high so not

I can’t believe it 
2 weeks ago I crossed €6k MRR and today just hit another milestone again
. Thanks for my study apps that been growing a bit and also a couple of freshly released apps have contributed to the success.
I guess if I continue the pace I have all the chances

Android apps’ MRR has surpassed iOS apps’. This is something I honestly didn’t expect.

Here’s an update on the MRR breakdown by platform:
iOS is still in first place, but Android is slowly catching up.

#buildinpublic x.com/maks6361/statu…Here’s my current apps MRR breakdown (the full list doesn’t even fit on the phone screen anymore 
).
It’s around €5.1k from 23 apps so far (2 more aren’t generating yet). On average, a single app brings about €220 MRR, so to hit my €10k goal I’ll need around 23 more apps (45

I’ve been working at 9–5 and been building my indie dev business for 8 months now.
I feel quite exhausted tbh.
I’ve been sacrificing early mornings and late evenings every day to grow my business.
I would’ve probably burned out a while ago if it wasn’t for one thing:
I know
I’m on the finishing line toward my end-of-year goal!
Planning to build a few more apps to keep the momentum going and finally hit that €10K MRR mark!

Just hit 300 active subscriptions on my indie app journey!
Grinding solo, learning every day, and growing steadily.
The path is long, but progress is real.

It's been less than a month and here's another milestone achieved! A few old apps got improved on their revenue but some new ones contributed here very well - got the initial boost and survived after it. I wish the growth would be similar for the following months so I could

Yet another achievement unlocked I’m halfway to my €10k MRR goal! Looks like the school season is officially here. Honestly, I still think hitting the goal by year-end is bold, but I’ll be working my ass off to get as close as possible

Honestly, I still think hitting the goal by year-end is bold, but I’ll be working my ass off to get as close as possible That's the approach I have chosen for myself and I'm pretty happy with it as it does work for me.
I don't want to grow a single app as I feel much safer to spread my revenue across multiple apps. It's just another strategy out there that you could follow: whether you grow a

If I can't make big win, I'll make small victories.
If I can't make $10K MRR app, I'll make 10 x $1K MRR apps.
Thank you, , for keeping relevant reviews, they really help others evaluate the app experience.
Weekly update:
MRR change: +3.5%
Things went well:
- Warming up 3 TikTok accounts to promote one app
- Started localization for this app
Things could’ve gone better:
- Couldn’t finish localization because I was busy with the 9–5
I’ve decided to start sharing my weekly updates
