No growth this time.

I didn’t put much effort into my mobile apps portfolio in September as I was focused on other projects.

I’m trying to diversify a bit, so I started a project in breathwork/breath hold space with my freediving instructor friend.

And… what might be surprising to some is that I’ve joined a startup as a CTO and that’s what I’ve been focusing on for the past few weeks. I’m sure I will share more in the future, but for now, I’ll keep it a secret:)

This is the first month in a while where my revenue didn’t grow. I’m okay with it because I still make enough to cover my basics and save some money. I’m focusing on building fundamentals for future businesses—planting seeds, as some say.

*Those numbers are proceeds, not sales (so after app store fees), but before taxes.

My costs are around $100-$200, mostly domains, servers, Cursor, and AI APIs.
