Message from the founder
Akshit

"I'm a solo founder running a small portfolio of iOS apps and I'm concentrating my time on a couple of them. Deadbolt is a low-maintenance asset: it runs entirely on-device, so there are zero server costs or ops. It's live, localized in 20 languages with regional pricing, and ranks for niche keywords like "minimalist phone". Growth so far is ASO only, so paid marketing is untouched. Not in a rush to sell; open to the right buyer."
