ReachShore
App installs from creators. $1–2 CPI. Zero work for you.
ReachShore is a creator-marketing service for indie iOS apps. We source micro-influencers, run the outreach, brief them, send promo codes, track installs, and pay them. You approve at the moments that matter.
Currently piloting on Tend, an indie iOS app. 5 design-partner spots open.
Meta CPI is killing indie apps.
iOS 14 broke attribution. CPMs went up. CPIs followed. Most indie founders are paying $5–$10 per install — and it's getting worse, not better. There's a better way: micro-influencers in the 5k–100k follower range deliver installs at a fraction of the cost. The catch is that doing it well takes 10+ hours per week.
We run the entire pipeline for you.
Three jobs, fully managed. You approve at the risky moments — first send, agreed rate, payouts. The rest runs without you.
Source
We find micro-influencers in your niche — vetted for engagement quality, audience match, and brand fit. You approve in one click.

Personalized outreach (no templates, no spam). Negotiation, brief, contract, promo code — all handled end-to-end.

Real campaigns. Real numbers. Public.
I'm Roozbeh, founder of Nias LLC and the iOS app Tend. I'm building ReachShore because I needed it for my own app — and so does every indie founder I've talked to.
"Every week I publish what's working and what isn't on X — open numbers, no spin. ReachShore is being built in public, and the first case study is my own app."
Pilot campaign — Tend
Common questions, honest answers.
Will this work for my niche?
Probably yes if your app's audience exists on TikTok or Instagram. We see the strongest results in: dating/relationships, fitness, mental health, productivity, parenting, journaling, finance, and education.
How do you measure CPI when SKAN is broken?
Per-creator promo codes. Every creator gets a unique code displayed in their content. Code redemptions = clean attribution. It undercounts somewhat (some users skip the code) but the relative signal between creators is reliable.
Do I have to commit long-term?
No. Monthly billing, cancel anytime. The founder pricing locks in the rate — not your commitment.
What if creators flake?
Industry flake rate is ~30%. We pay creators on post (not upfront), so flakes don't cost you money. If a creator no-shows, we replace them in the next batch.
Why a $99 deposit?
Filters out tire-kickers and saves both of us time. Fully refundable. Applied to your first month if you sign on.
How is this different from Modash, Insense, or Aspire?
Modash sells data — you still do all the work. Insense is a marketplace where creators apply (you don't pick). Aspire is enterprise ($2–5k/mo, sales-led). ReachShore is a managed service for indies, end-to-end, $499/mo founder rate.
Why is there a waitlist?
I'm taking 5 design partners first. Once those campaigns are running, the waitlist opens with normal pricing ($999/mo Growth).
Five design-partner spots. Locked-in pricing for life.
Reserve your spot with a $99 refundable deposit. Or join the waitlist if you'd rather wait for v1.
Refund within 30 days, no questions. Built by an indie founder for indie founders.
