I have been doing this for the past 5 years with https://folge.me. A one-time payment alternative to Scribehow, Tango.us and myriads of similar apps. I can't say that this is a very profitable business, especially given that I don't charge any fees for the updates, but I quite enjoy talking to users, finding out their needs, and improving Folge over time. I think Folge has become my hobby.

macOS native application for smart link handling

I do. Macos applications. Generating between 1,000-2,000 USD monthly (so variable because no subscriptions). Obviously this is still a hobby that I am trying to make more sustainable. But this is where I am right now after 3-4 years in this business. https://loshadki.app - you can check the apps here.
