I made an app that does 3,902 document, video, image, audio and email file conversions.

It does it all locally, not on some random website and it just crossed 1,600 users!

I did some marketing today

At the start of the year, I had less than $1,000 in the bank. I was desperately searching for work and building this app on the side.

Today that app made $4,000 in a single day!

That’s right yes. A one time purchase for all future updates

Largely due to an influx of users from the sound engineer community! Thank you for the support

I made an app that converts almost any file locally.

And it just had its best day of sales ever!

Just read this article about my file converter app! Thanks for the amazing review and spotlight!

It's brought in a surge of new audio engineer users, so I will be adding even more audio conversions to the app in the coming weeks.

We Found This Cool Machine-Based Audio File Converter | Production Expert Tired of cloud converters and subscription traps? We found a local tool that handles over 500 audio formats, runs entirely on your machine, and costs just £25. No logins, no uploads, no nonsense.

Noticed a big spike in sales today. Seems to be thanks to a recent article featuring my file converter app, How to Convert.

Really appreciate the spotlight and support!

I made $5,387 in October

$5,326 from How to Convert
$61 from Pictiler
$0 from my last failed project 🙈
$0 from the project before that 🤷‍♂️

Don’t give up. That next project could be the one that changes everything.
Building apps and websites is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

One of the biggest things is don’t waste too much time on your project until you’ve tested whether people want to pay for it. Get it out early and see.

I’ve wasted years on projects that no one ever wanted many times

Just rolled out localised pricing across 95+ countries!

Now everyone can access the app at a fair price for their region

I made an app that converts almost any file locally. And it’s on sale for Halloween 🎃

Microsoft just launched Mico and hit the top of Product Hunt

Aaaaannd all the comments are AI bots

I’ve heard people say Product Hunt is pay to win. Now I believe it.
You seriously can’t detect bot votes and comments that obvious?

Not all projects work out.

Sometimes you've got to take them around the barn and put them out of their misery

One of them even posted twice 😂

A damn good feeling

The emotions of a week as an indie developer

Feel like team rocket

Top of r/macapps again!

A bit more about the app

Just shipped some usability updates 🚀

1. The app now resizes to smaller windows
2. You can set your save location before converting (super helpful for big files)
