I'm wasn't a developer. I just wanted to build an app.

I had an idea, something I wanted to see on my phone, something I could put on the App Store. Simple enough, right?

So I tried everything. Vibe coding tools. React Native builders. AI code generators. Claude. Cursor. You name it, I tried it. Dozens of different tools over several months.

They all sucked.

I'd describe exactly what I wanted and get the complete opposite. The apps looked cheap. The code was a mess. Nothing felt like a real iOS app, because none of them were. Just web wrappers and shortcuts pretending to be native.

I kept thinking: there has to be a better way. Something that actually builds what I'm imagining. Something production-ready. Something that feels like it belongs on an iPhone.

It didn't exist. So I built it.
