There are a ton of great apps to be made, with better UIs and functionality than existing entrants that aren't made by big companies because they don't offer enterprise-sized war chests and moats. Can't make enough to pay for a bunch of MBAs, managers, and SEO, Creative, and Engineering teams, so they don't get made. But it's certainly enough for a few driven people.
A question, from someone who used to start lots of projects, but now finds himself busy from all of those (some now quite successful) projects: How much daily "mental load" does something like this take? Are you able to work on it when you want, and otherwise ignore? Any tips for starting a small project that doesn't require ongoing mental effort?
Being a user of the app myself reassure me that it's working and that even if there might be bugs, it's probably working well for the vast majority of folks.

I want to push back against this a little. He gets $500/month now, there is no guarantee he will keep receiving that number when he stops maintaining and improving his app. I would assume the number will go up if he keeps improving it, but if he stops it will eventually become 0$/month.
There's no guarantee $150k invested will have 4% returns either.
You have a new fan. Hearty congratulations and wish you a continued success!! You are an inspiration :-)
Congrats! Downloaded. Relevant to today's discussion, did you use SwiftUI or the ol reliable UIKit? Here's the url for those who are looking: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/five-three-one/id1560266240
The app is built using Flutter, but I'm using SwiftUI for the home screen widget.

6000/0.04 = 150 000 Essentially, those 6K a year is the equivalent of a 150K portfolio

why did you use Flutter?
Excellent, congrats! Can you elaborate on IAPs (or other insights)? The app is free, yes? Then what can users buy while using the app?
