I like the term lifestyle business... but I'd be hesitant to use it until the business actually supported my lifestyle.

To acquaintances, I'll often just say "I'm building an app". Small business is a decent alternative, but a lot of the time when I use that term I'll feel pressure to clarify that it's not like.. a lawn mowing business or something. (nothing against those though!)

I used the term lifestyle business for a while, when dating and on dating apps.

Women were mostly enamored because they thought it was like a Youtuber thing, or lifestyle in the fashion sense, or a Youtuber telling people about lifestyle fashion of some sort.

Very different from "any line of business, implied as passively w/ recurring revenue, that happens to supports your lifestyle"

(I pivoted away from that, I found other truthful things that hit pretty well.)
