If you have iOS/Android development experience, you can look at the Developer sector, which is relatively niche IMO.
I've developed the iOS/iPadOS app, Proxyman for iOS [0], which gains steadily ~2k recurring revenue every month. Basically, it's an iOS app that helps you to capture and decrypt HTTP/HTTPS traffic on your phone. The app is needed if you need to inspect traffic from your app.
Because it's an iOS app, published on AppStore, you can provide a subscription pricing model: e.g. $4.99/month, $39.99/year, or lifetime $99.
I also develop the macOS version, but it's a huge market, which is out of context.
Proxyman (desktop) is a terrifyingly polished app, kudos!
Really curious, how does the revenue from macOS and iOS compare?
Thanks for the shoutout. I would not disclose the macOS revenue. We used to publish it as a #buildinpulic movement, but not anymore.
Fair. Good luck with both platforms!
I use proxyman a lot, you did an amazing job, it's a super slick and well working app
Thanks. I assume you're using the macOS version. You might check out the iOS app too : ]
Don't forget to activate the Premium for iOS with your Mac License Key. No need to purchase the Subscription.
Already have it running!
Does it work with DNS-over-https queries from Apple ? I tried to grab the Airtag position from my Ipad with MITM Proxy running on a computer, but because it is DNS based some http packets from Apple wouldn't be visible
I've never tried it. Maybe you should give it a try. If it doesn't work, please create a ticket at https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues
I'm happy to support you.
You built Proxyman?! What a great project. This can't just be a side project though right?
Even if its with a small team thats impressive, the UI is polished and full of features.
Thanks. It's not a side project anymore. We've established a legal company in the US, have a small team, and commit full-time to it. Currently, we've working on the Windows & Linux version.
We use daily as a team
Proxyman is great. It was essential to our development workflow for one of our user-facing products at my last job in healthcare.
What tool do you use to create the screenshots with the text in the App Store? I always struggle with that.
Not OP, but I use Figma to do this. There are lots of templates in the community, or you can make your own pretty easily.
If you don't want to do it as manually there are paid tools that will help. Google "app store screenshot maker" for options.
Not OP, but have a look at [0]. It’s not great, but good enough. I regularly use it for App Store screenshots with captions and text.

Proxyman is fantastic. It replaced Charles for me.
