I launched my Mac app DisplayBuddy in the beginning of 2021, and it’s been two years of 32 feature-packed free updates for my users.

Sure, I've now got a small but steady (kind of) income from the app I had initially built for my own use, but I also have a full time job as an app developer.

I'm a sole founder who's been managing support, marketing, product management and development for the app - learning these things as I go. My schedule pretty much is work all week, and then spend my weekends on the app.

Something that I have been struggling with is the feeling that I'm actually leaving money on table because "there's so much more I can do" If I worked on DisplayBuddy full time, but I cannot - simply because the income from the app is no match for the income from my job (which I of course need).

This especially hit me recently when I was on vacation and I was still thinking about things I could do the app instead of enjoying my vacation.
