About

SideProfit

Read full description

SideProfit helps you see whether a small project is actually becoming profitable. Track revenue, expenses, time cost, and break-even progress for every app, SaaS, side project, or product experiment you are building. Instead of guessing whether a project is working, SideProfit shows the numbers that matter: income, costs, net profit, hidden development time, and how far each project is from paying for itself. Built for solo founders, indie developers, app makers, SaaS builders, creators, and small teams managing real projects with real costs. What you can track: - Income from app sales, subscriptions, payouts, sponsorships, or other project revenue - Expenses like hosting, APIs, domains, design, ads, tools, App Store fees, and AI services - Time spent on each project, with an estimated hourly rate - Break-even progress before a project becomes profitable - Long-term revenue goals after a project reaches break-even - Monthly revenue and expense trends - Net profit across one or more projects SideProfit is not a personal budget app or full accounting system. It is a focused project profitability tracker for people who want to know whether a small project is turning into something real.

Read full description

NanNanCat Notes is a handwriting notes app, made by a university student in Taiwan and named after their cat, NanNan. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no locked features, no ads โ€” just a plain tool. HANDWRITING AND DRAWING Fountain pen, ballpoint, brush and highlighter with freely adjustable width and colour โ€” save your favourites. Shape recognition, a ruler, sticky notes, washi tape, stickers and text boxes are included. Inserted photos can be cropped, resized and rotated. RECORDING WITH INK REPLAY Record a lecture or meeting, and optionally capture the timing of your writing โ€” during playback the ink reappears stroke by stroke in time with the audio. Choose the built-in mic or a connected headset. THREE KINDS OF DOCUMENT Besides paged notebooks, there's a whiteboard for thinking out loud and a text document that exports as Markdown. All three share the same folders and search. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Sign in to the same Apple Account and notes written on iPad appear on iPhone by themselves โ€” no account to create, no sync button to press. Or keep everything local with iCloud turned off entirely. HANDWRITING SEARCH AND ON-DEVICE AI Search your own handwriting. Summarising, proofreading and translating all run on the device โ€” your notes are never sent to any server. PRIVATE AND SECURE Set a passcode for the app and unlock it with Face ID or Touch ID. No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. TAKE IT ANYWHERE Export notebooks as PDF or as a re-editable file format, and text documents as Markdown. The Files app always has an up-to-date PDF of every notebook. Available in Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. Questions or suggestions? Reach us on Discord or by email.
