AppDab showing new version of AppDab waiting for App Review,
Back from a week vacation with my wife and kids 🥰 Submitting new versions of @AppDab.app and Score Wonders for App Review, and continuing "work" on my FaceTime photo-sharing app "Sammen" - almost ready fo TestFlight 🚀 DM me if you want to help me test it out.
Used the app since Dec 2023. Finally bought Premium Lifetime in Feb 2026. That’s not an impulse buy - that’s a considered relationship. 😄
Screenshot of the What's new screen in AppDab, telling what has changed in the latest versions.
Next version of @appdab.app will get a "What's New" screen on updates 🎉 This is something I think has been missing, as it has been hard telling users through other channels, all of the changes - posts and App Store "What's new" is not long enough.

Prototype working! 🎉 My new vibe-coded app uses SharePlay and CloudKit to let a person in a FaceTime call show photos to the other participants 🏞️ Next thing to work on: speed of photo downloading 🚀

While Codex has been working on features, I have been trying to design an icon 😅 Hand drawn and glassified with Icon composer.
I am trying to build a vibe-coded app with Codex 😬
It’s something I’ve wanted to build for a long time, but never really had the time to figure out whether it was even possible.
It's an iOS app with a focus on family and friends 🥰

Still… going indie has been absolutely worth it.
Time with my kids 👦👧
Freedom to build 💡
Community 🤝
Creativity ✨
A life rebuilt, one app at a time.

But the financial reality?
From 2022–2025, all my apps combined earned $2,865 💸
The only reason the indie journey was possible is because of pension payments and savings after my wife passed away.
Without that runway, indie life wouldn’t have been an option.
Score Wonders had a huge update in 2025 — adding every expansion and a $5.99 subscription.
For the first time, I saw a real revenue spike 📈
I also crossed 100 active subscribers across all apps.
A tiny milestone, but huge emotionally.
2024–2025 brought work I’m really proud of:
🤖 AppDab Intelligence
🏛️ Score Wonders with expansions
🍕 Deep Dish Unofficial on iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS & visionOS
And building Miniotaur with my son was incredibly meaningful ❤️
Then competition arrived 😬
Someone started building an AppDab competitor 🚢
It hit me harder than expected — sleepless nights, anxiety, and some sessions with a psychologist.
But eventually the fear turned into motivation 💪
I shipped some of my best updates.
Surprisingly, freelance work showed up out of nowhere 💼
A VoIP app in Denmark 🇩🇰, a travel app in Germany 🇩🇪.
All because I shared my work publicly.
It helped bridge the financial gap and reminded me visibility matters.
Then I tried chasing the iOS 17 launch with Akryla 🎨
I pushed myself too hard and completely burned out 😵💫
Almost nobody downloaded it.
It taught me a big lesson: chasing Apple’s spotlight is not a healthy strategy for me.
Community became my fuel.
@DeepDishSwift 🍕, #WWDC23 🍏 — meeting people I’d only known online was transformative.
These events gave me support, energy, and the feeling of belonging that I didn’t know I needed.
So I coped the way many indies do: I built more apps.

It became a burst of momentum — frustration turning into creativity.
I had been building @AppDabApp, a fast native App Store Connect client 💻
Launch day was Nov 2022… the same moment Twitter collapsed.
Engagement disappeared overnight.
The launch fell flat — a huge emotional blow.
Five years ago I lost my wife to cancer ❤️🩹
I kept working full-time’ish while raising two kids alone and building apps at night. It became unsustainable.
In 2022 I finally went indie — for my kids 👨👧👦 and to rebuild a life that made sense.
🧵 Three years ago I quit my job to go indie.
Here’s what really happened — the highs, lows, burnout, community, competition, money, creativity, and why I’d still choose it again. ❤️👇
This is something I’ve wanted to do since launch — almost 3 years ago! 🎉 It was an interesting challenge, spelunking and manipulating the #AppStoreConnect DOM 🤓 Everything is open-sourced as part of AppStoreConnectKit Swift package 🚀 github.com/MortenGreger...

I love how easy it is (for a non-designer like me) to create something like this with Icon Composer 🤩
FYI you can’t drive to #WWDC from Florida, 3 persons on a motorbike, with luggage and backpacks… 😅 I know, because @chriswu.com, @strasser.bsky.social and I tried tonight in my dreams 😴
Fun update! 🚀 It looks small to the user, but is the first version of @appdab.app using my new AppStoreConnectKit package 📦 which handles API keys in Keychain 🔐, creates Certificate Signing Requests 🪪 and has some error parsing and entity formatting 🤩

An Apple Watch shows a noise level warning reading “Too loud”. In the blurred background, kids are playing in the water park during a disco with flashing lights and loud music.

Kids splashing, lights flashing, music pumping – and my Apple Watch warns me it’s too loud 🎧😅
Look at that! 🤩 An article about our app on @AppAdvice 🥰 It was funny to see Andreas so excited, when I showed him ❤️
