Non-coder's sports dating app Ritmo hits $3,835 MRR one month after launch
marclou · x · 2026-10-19
Indie developer Adel's first app Ritmo — a Tinder-style dating app matching active singles for Pilates, tennis, and running — grew from $800 MRR on Oct 1 to $3,835 MRR (395 active subscriptions, 84% week-over-week), topping TrustMRR's fastest-growing startups this week.
- Adel says he can't code; the app launched via RevenueCat's Shipaton, revenue verified via the RevenueCat API
- One-person, bootstrapped team; App Store rating 4.5/5 (99 ratings)
- Monetization: free access with Ritmo Pro subscription and Boosts
- Domain Rating of 0 means early growth isn't SEO-driven — likely viral/community-driven
A replicable playbook of AI-assisted coding + a niche social niche + RevenueCat subscription infra.
