Over the past few weeks I’ve been building an iOS app from the ground up. It’s fully functional, polished, and essentially App Store–ready, but lately I’ve been wondering if I’d rather sell the project to someone who wants to launch and grow it.

The app includes:

- Complete SwiftUI codebase
- Clean UI/UX with polished animations
- Branding and ready to ship

I’m curious:

Has anyone here sold a pre-launch app? Where did you find the buyer? If you were buying an App Store–ready project, what would you want to see before making an offer? If anyone has experience buying or selling apps, I’d love to hear your advice.

I’ve been working on a side project that tackles something a little different: helping people quit gambling.
Most recovery apps I found felt outdated or were basically just sobriety timers. I wanted to build something that feels like a modern iOS app people actually enjoy opening.

Some of the features include:
\- Daily streaks and milestones
\- Progress tracking
\- Calculating money saved

A polished, interactive UI with smooth animations
I’m still refining it and would really appreciate honest feedback.

If you’ve struggled with gambling yourself—or have ideas on what would actually make an app like this useful—I’d love to hear them. What features do you think are missing from existing recovery apps?

Hey everyone, looking to network with people in the app space ! Just launched my first app and looking to make many more. Talk to me!

Hey everyone! Just launched our first app, very excited that it’s finally out! We welcome all feedback, positive and negative, we want this app to be something everyone wants to use and enjoy ! This is only the beginning!

Spent the last few months building a hydration app solo — just hit submit
I’m an indie dev and HydroLoop is the project I actually finished instead of abandoning. Started because no water app ever stuck for me, so I built the one I wanted: weather-based goals, per-beverage tracking, streaks, Apple Health, widgets.
The hardest part wasn’t the features, it was reminder design — figuring out how to nudge someone without becoming the app they mute. Still not sure I nailed it.
It’s in App Store review now. Ask me anything about going from idea to submission as a solo builder.

I made a hydration app that changes your water goal based on the weather
Solo project, just submitted to the App Store. It’s called HydroLoop — tracks water, weights coffee/tea differently, does streaks and widgets, and bumps your target on hot days. Not live yet but I’m pretty proud of how the water-fill animation turned out. Happy to share details.

What finally made hydration stick for you?
I’ve quit every water tracking app I’ve tried, usually within a week. They nag too much or feel like a chore. Curious what actually worked for the people here — an app, a marked bottle, or just habit?

Asking partly because I’ve been messing around building my own, and I keep getting stuck on the same question: how pushy should reminders be without being annoying? Gentle enough and you ignore them; aggressive enough and you resent them. Seems like there’s no winning.

What’s the move?
