Solo development is mostly building something you believe in, then gently reminding the internet that it exists.

Five QuietWare macOS apps are still free until each reaches 100 downloads. It’s my way of letting early users try them, shape them, and help me improve them before they become paid apps.

Hey, thanks for the comment :) I don't track anything about my users. So I don't know how many people are actively using it, but there are 300+ downloads across all five as of today.

I update all of the counts weekly on my website: www.QuietWareApps.com
