for fun

Not for profit

For fun describes doing something purely for enjoyment rather than obligation, profit, or practical purpose: I don't play chess competitively—just for fun.

The phrase often contrasts leisure with work or necessity: She codes for a living but paints for fun.

Sometimes implies the activity lacks serious stakes or consequences.
