Promo magic is reshaping early adoption for Mac and iOS apps. Indie devs are slashing prices, gifting lifetime access, and buzzing with promo codes to spark buzz.
Spenly is giving away 249 premium subscriptions before the end of 2025 to hook early users. There are already more than 70 premium lifetime users, with additional codes flowing via DMs [1].
Trace offers a Lifetime deal at the same price as the 1-year plan, boosting perceived value. A major update accompanies the promo, including iOS 26 support and an upcoming Mac version; existing subscriptions will auto grant Mac access when it ships [2].
Alera is Lifetime FREE for the next 24 hours (normally $99.99). A recent update adds guided routines and UI tweaks to improve daily practice [3].
Trackless Links Pro is live with over 50% off for the launch weekend; it’s a universal purchase that syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Cross‑platform excitement is growing as users DM for codes and share feedback [4].
AirUp Reps Squat Tracker just launched with IAP, sparking questions about codes and trials among early testers [5].
These promo blitzes show indie Mac/iOS apps betting big on long-term value, with codes and limited-time discounts fueling chatter and signups.
