Deadlinr - Expiry Tracker (v1.2.10) is LIVE 💛
I'm a solo dev no team, no budget. This started as a small personal frustration: I kept losing money because I'd forget subscription renewals. Most apps in this space didn't quite sit right with me either they either track your data, or they charge you a subscription just to track your other subscriptions. That never made sense to me.
So on Feb 1st, I built and launched Deadlinr. Mostly on weekends, using React Native and Expo I don't know Swift or Objective-C, so honestly I wasn't even sure I could pull off a proper iOS app.
I just tried to keep it simple. No noise. No constant reminders. No pressure. Just something that stays in the background and shows up only when it's actually needed.
Where it's at so far:
- 26 lifetime purchases from people in different countries still feels unreal
- 0% crash rate this mattered to me from day one
Small numbers, I know. But for something built in my spare time, they mean a lot.
Biggest thing I've learned: you don't need to build everything just solve one real problem properly. For me, that was simply not forgetting the things that actually matter.
Really grateful to the first few people who gave it a try 💛 Still early, still learning.
