Small Win, Growing Slowly Slowly
I know this is not huge compared to bigger apps, but for an indie app I’m building myself, this felt like a nice milestone.
iLinkVault got 83 first-time downloads this month. Feels like a milestone in itself.
The app started as a bookmark manager because I kept saving links everywhere and then forgetting where they were later. Over time I added things like Vault AI, shared collections, browser extension support, and recently Temporary File Sync + Text Bridge for sending files/text from phone to desktop through the Chrome extension.
Still a long way to go, but seeing real users try it and a few people actually pay for it is honestly motivating.
For other indie iOS devs here: what helped you improve conversion after the first few small spikes?
