I built LemonDash because I had a simple problem:
I use Lemon Squeezy for my own store, and I wanted a good mobile app to track what was happening in real time.
I wanted to open my phone and instantly see:
- revenue
- MRR
- sales
- subscriptions
- refunds
- renewals
And I wanted push notifications for every sale.
Sounds basic, right?
But most of the tools I found either:
- charged for core features like notifications
- did not feel great on mobile
- or just were not built the way I wanted
So I decided to build my own.
What I built
LemonDash is a free mobile dashboard for Lemon Squeezy sellers.
It helps store owners track:
- MRR
- revenue
- sales
- subscriptions
- refunds
- renewals
It also sends instant notifications for important store events.
The goal was simple: build something actually useful, mobile-first, and 100% free.
Why I made it free
This was the main thing that bothered me.
Notifications and basic analytics should not feel like premium-only features, especially for indie makers and small SaaS founders.
So I made LemonDash:
- free
- open source
- focused on the features I personally wanted as a seller
I spent my own time and money building it, publishing it, and preparing the launch.
Current status
- iOS is live: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lemondash/id6761753461
- Open-source backend: https://github.com/sbrsv/lemondash
- Product Hunt launch: https://www.producthunt.com/products/lemondash
- Open Launch page: https://open-launch.com/projects/lemondash
- Google Play is in review and should be live in about 12 days
What I learned building it
A few things stood out while working on this:
1. “Small pain” products are often worth building
This did not come from a huge startup idea. It came from one annoying problem I personally had.
Those problems are often the best ones to build around.
2. Free can be a real product decision
Sometimes making something free is not just pricing. It is the whole point of the product.
3. Mobile UX matters more than people think
A lot of seller tools work fine on desktop, but feel bad on mobile. That gap is still real.
I’d love feedback
If you are a Lemon Squeezy seller, indie hacker, or micro-SaaS founder, I’d genuinely love to know:
What would you want from a mobile dashboard like this?
And if you’re launching products yourself, I’d also love your feedback on the Product Hunt page.

Solving your own itch is the best way to build. Since you're creating a tool to fix a gap in a major platform, you'd love the community at forg.to. It's a hub for builders who just want to ship things that work.
