3 years. Multiple failed apps. This is the first one that didn't give me the "doom feeling" after launch... and 30+ strangers actually wanted it.
I've been building apps for almost 3 years, and honestly, most of them failed for one simple reason...
People just didn't care.
This time was different.
I shared my new app with strangers just to get honest feedback, and ended up getting 30+ genuinely positive responses from a single post.
The app is called Oath Tracker. Instead of another to-do list, it makes you commit to yourself.
The features people kept mentioning were:
- Video messages to your future self.
- A sealed oath instead of a normal task.
- AI that turns goals into an execution plan.
- A premium UI that doesn't look like every other productivity app.
The funny part?
I actually used my own app to build and market itself. Every feature, design, screenshot and marketing task became an oath I had to keep.
Now I feel like I've finally found something people genuinely want... but I'm stuck on what comes next.
If this were your app, where would you spend the next 90 days?
Short-form content? Reddit? ASO? Influencers? Paid ads? Community building?
I'd love advice from anyone who's successfully marketed an app. I don't want to waste months going in the wrong direction.
