A friend mentioned charging for it in the appstore but leaving the open-source project freely available. That way, people can pay for convenience of installation, but they still have a way to access the app freely if they want.
I work on a command line tool as a side hobby. I have used github sponsors and have added BTC/ETH/XMR links in the readme. I get ~$10 per month. Its just an added bonus for me tbh.
