Solo-run LoroNote reports $6,800 in 28-day revenue
A solo developer built LoroNote for iPhone and iPad users who need offline transcripts of meetings, interviews and lectures, running Whisper Large V3 Turbo and speaker separation on-device. In late October the founder reported a RevenueCat snapshot of $6,800 in 28-day revenue, $1,503 MRR and 301 active subscriptions, explicitly noting that revenue includes lifetime sales and is not profit. Pricing is $4.99 monthly, $19.99 yearly or $39.99 lifetime. Acquisition comes mainly from App Store keywords, localization and screenshots after unprofitable Apple Search Ads were stopped. Device-side delivery avoids a cloud transcription bill for every extra hour, while development, testing, support, device constraints and dependence on iOS remain real costs and limits.
