01 / Why an app
Creators are already doing this.
The apps below were started by people with an audience, not an engineering team. The audience was the hard part — and you already have it.

A spot on their home screen
Reminders and widgets reach your people every day, with no algorithm deciding who sees it.
Launch without an ad budget
Your videos are the marketing. The App Store adds search traffic on top.
An asset in your name
Code, listing and subscribers belong to you. Apps with revenue get bought and sold.
02 / Proof
Four apps of mine, designed and built solo.
Two are live on the App Store, two more are on their way. Designed, coded and shipped by me, solo, with AI — yours gets built the same way.

04 / Fit
Small on purpose.
The price works because the scope is honest. Here’s where that line is.
A good fit
- You have an audience that keeps asking you for the same thing
- You can say in one sentence what the app does for them every day
- You want subscribers, not a one-off sale
- You’re fine starting on iPhone and adding Android later
Not this offer
- A game, a marketplace or a social network for strangers
- Medical diagnosis, banking or anything that needs a licence
- A copy of an app with a hundred features on day one
- You need it on iPhone, Android and the web the same week
05 / Process
Three weeks, on a calendar.
You hold a real build on your own iPhone every week, not a status update.
- Day 0
Intro call
Free, 30 minutes. You leave with a written scope and a fixed price — or an honest no.
- Days 1–3
Screens first
Every screen and the paywall in Figma. You approve the flow before a line of code.
- Days 4–16
Build
A real build on your own iPhone through TestFlight every week, so you can show it to your audience early.
- Days 17–19
Polish
Onboarding, paywall in live mode, edge cases and your two revision rounds.
- Days 20–21
Submit
Listing, screenshots and privacy labels done; submitted to App Review under your account.
Apple reviews most apps in one to three days. If they push back, I make the fixes and resubmit at no charge.
06 / Pricing
Two prices. No estimates.
Agencies quote five figures and three months for an iOS app. You get one person who designs and builds it, with a date on the calendar.
Early-bird · first 5 builds
Regular prices are $5,500 and $7,500. The first builds go for about half. In exchange I ask for honest feedback and permission to show your app as a case study.

07 / Questions
The ones creators ask.
Why the early-bird price?
I’m opening client builds now and want the first few to become great case studies. You get roughly half the regular price; I get your honest feedback and permission to show the app. Same scope, same deadline, same ownership — nothing is cut to fit the price.
I can’t code. Is that a problem?
No. You bring the audience and know what they want; I turn that into screens, then into the app. You test every week on your own iPhone through TestFlight and tell me what feels off.
Why iPhone first?
iPhone users spend more on subscriptions, and one platform done well beats two done halfway. The app is built with Expo, so Android comes from the same codebase when you’re ready.
Why Expo and React Native instead of pure Swift?
It’s what Mivu runs on. The app is one TypeScript codebase, and the parts iOS demands natively — Screen Time, the camera, Health — are written in Swift modules. You get native features, faster updates and an Android path.
Who owns the app?
You. It ships under your Apple Developer account ($99/year, in your name), the code sits in your GitHub, and the subscribers and revenue are yours. No licence fee, no lock-in.
What if Apple rejects it?
Rejections happen and are usually small: a missing privacy line, a paywall wording. I handle the fixes and resubmission at no charge until it’s approved.
How does the money reach me?
Subscribers pay through Apple, and Apple pays you monthly. Under the Small Business Program Apple keeps 15%. The paywall runs on RevenueCat, which is free until your app makes $2.5K a month.
What happens after the 30 days?
The app is yours to keep as is. If you want to keep shipping, a monthly plan covers updates, new features and iOS changes: up to 20 hours for $1,000 or up to 40 hours for $1,800, paused any month you don’t need it.
