An indie developer shared impressive retention data for their new AI app: users open it an average of 3.1 times per day. Although the app currently has a small user base and hasn't monetized yet, this "muscle memory" level of retention is a strong positive signal for future monetization. The author emphasizes that in the early stages of a product, retention is far more critical than mere user acquisition.
