I have two such side projects that run almost passively, neither is an app though.

1- An extremely simple habit tracker spreadsheet template that I also use myself - https://www.preetamnath.com/habit-tracker-template

Makes ~$100/mo but this month it's on track to make $200, probably due to new year's enthusiasm?

2- Learn Programmatic SEO, a straightforward course to help people identify repeatable keyword patterns and use that to drive traffic to their business, website, projects etc. SEO beginner-friendly - https://www.preetamnath.com/programmatic-seo

The course makes between $300-$500/mo.

I don't have any costs other than website hosting and Gumroad fees. I do think these projects have scope to improve and grow. Would love feedback from anyone who finds them interesting!

These are both really unique and interesting! Curious to know how you've publicised it so far, and if you think spending more time/money on publicity can get them to grow a lot more
All sales comes via organic search traffic. I plan to try and drive more traffic this year through content.
