01b / strategy evolution
Built by an IBD patient (Dec 2024), launched April 2025 with wire-service PR and aggressive store positioning — the Google Play listing is literally titled "FlareCare: AI Poop Tracker" while iOS runs "Gut Health Tracker", keyword-first ASO on both. The verified ramp is recent and ads-fueled: $1,263 (May 2026) → $8,150 (June) → $6,267 (July) at ~$5.40 ARPU across 716 subs. The TrustMRR channel list is a 15-item checkbox spread; only TikTok, ASO, niche SEO and the launch PR were independently observed.
