A day job, a family, and a side project at night

The Quiet Builder's pixel avatar with a coffee

I can't code. I build apps with Claude Code.

When the house goes quiet, I open the laptop and build iPhone apps with AI. I show you the real screen and what it earns. So far that's $20 a month. Small, I know.

What you'll see on the account

  • Avatar thinking

    Spotted

    Something a person built with AI this week. What it is, why they made it, and what it means if you can't code either.

  • Avatar pointing

    Tried

    When I try one of those things myself, I show what happened. Only real tries, no made-up results.

    My numbers

    The real money from my apps, small numbers too. Right now that's $20 a month, and a copy could beat it.

Want the prompt from a Reel?

Most of my Reels end with one word, like PROMPT. Comment that word under the Reel and I'll send you the full thing in a DM.

REJECTED

Did Apple reject your app?

Apple has rejected my apps about 20 times. I wrote down what caused each one and how I fixed it. Now it's 18 free fix pages, sorted by the guideline number in Apple's message.

Everything here gets built after hours. If you build at night too, come say hi on Instagram.

A new Reel every day.
