The mechanism

Seven days sounds impossible. Here is why it isn't.

A custom app used to mean six months because every one started from a blank page. Ours do not. Three things changed that.

01  The tools

AI tooling most developers have not caught up to yet.

David has shipped this way for years. The typing takes minutes now. The judgment about what to build is still his.

02  The parts

A library of parts already proven in 50+ apps.

Logins, bookings, payments, texts, dashboards. Every business needs the same fifteen things and we have built them all. The week goes into what is specific to yours.

03  The preview

The working preview is the spec.

No 40 page document. You click through a real piece of your app and say what is wrong. That is the back and forth that made the old way slow.

In their words

What people say the day it lands.

Real messages from real clients, pasted as they were sent.

Omg you're the best company I have ever worked with in my life. Wow

Musetti · Rinaura

It looks like a $10,000 web site.

Benard · Circle V Lounge

This is just so perfect and exactly what I needed!

Nancy · FancyVentureSits

I'm amazed how fast you did it

Jay · Our School

Who this is for

Two kinds of people come here.

01

The app that runs your business

Your team does by hand what an app could do in seconds. The retyping, the spreadsheet juggling, the chasing people for updates. Sunday night at the kitchen table moving Friday's numbers from one system into the other because the two have never spoken.

  • Bookings and dispatch
  • Quotes and invoices
  • Customer portal
  • Job tracking
  • Two systems that finally talk

You built this business to be free. Right now it owns you.

02

The app you have always wanted to build

You have described it a hundred times. A dating app for your community. A marketplace. A membership app. The tool everyone in your industry needs and nobody has made. Every quote you got was eighty grand and six months, so it stayed an idea.

  • Dating app
  • Marketplace
  • Membership community
  • Consumer app, App Store
  • The one for your industry

It has been an idea long enough.

Why it has not happened yet$80,000 and six monthsWhat a custom app used to cost.
Why this offer exists$0 and seven daysWhat it costs to see yours working.

See it working before you pay. Own it when it ships.

How it works

You see it working before you decide.

01

You tell us what you want built

A two minute form, then a call. Not a pitch. We are working out exactly what to build.

02

We build a working piece of it. Free.

A real app you can click through, with your idea in it. Not a mockup.

03

We show it to you live

You tell us what is right and what is wrong. Then we price the rest.

04

The full build lands in seven days

Or you do not pay the final invoice.

05

It goes live and the code is yours

Your domain, your team, your code. One purchase, not a subscription.

Your part of the weekabout an hour, total
  • Fill in the form. What the app does, who uses it, what you use today.2 minutes
  • One call with Ken. He asks, you talk. No slides, no pitch.30 minutes
  • Click through the preview and say what is wrong, in plain English.15 minutes
  • A text or two during the build when we hit a question only you can answer.a few minutes
You do not write a spec, sit in status meetings or learn a tool. You get on with your life. We build.

Proof

Apps we actually built and run.

Some run a business. Some were an idea somebody carried around for years. Every one started with a conversation.

Ken's job on the call is to understand what you actually want built, not to sell you anything. He turns that into the brief David builds from, and he is the one who shows you the preview.

What you actually get

The code is yours.

You own it outrightHanded over at launch. No seats, no per user pricing.

The money

Straight answers

Questions people ask before they apply.

What is the catch on the free preview?

The catch is that we are betting we will be right about what you need. If we are wrong, we ate a week and you lost a conversation. We take that bet because we win it most of the time, and showing you a build beats describing one.

What kinds of apps do you build?

Both kinds. Apps that run a business: scheduling and dispatch, customer portals, quoting and invoicing, job tracking, inventory, dashboards, tools for a field team. And apps that are the business: marketplaces, dating apps, membership communities, booking platforms, consumer apps on the App Store.

What we do not build: anything clinical or compliance heavy, and anything that needs a license we do not hold. If yours is one of those, we say so on the call.

Seriously, seven days?

Seriously. See the three reasons above. The clock starts when the spec is signed and we have what we need from you, and if the full build is not live by day seven you do not pay the final invoice.

What actually lands on day seven?

A working app on your own domain with real people logged in. Not a prototype, not a demo, not phase one of three. The thing you saw in the preview, finished. If it belongs in the App Store we submit it too; Apple's review adds their days, not ours.

How much of my time does this take?

About an hour across the whole week. The form, one call, a look at the preview, a text or two. You will not write a spec or sit in meetings.

How does payment work?

The preview is free. Once you have seen it we give you a firm price, most builds land between $3,000 and $15,000. Half to start, half when it goes live and the code is handed over. If you would rather, split it across three months and take handover at the final payment.

Do I really own it?

Yes. The code, the data, the domain and the accounts are all in your name. There are no seats and no per user pricing. Host it yourself, or we do it for $50 a month with monitoring and backups, and you can leave that any time.

What happens after it is built?

It runs. Small fixes in the first month are on us. Bigger changes later are quoted the same way the first build was: we show you, then we price it.

Why not just use one of those AI app builders?

Try one for an afternoon and you will find out. They are fine for a landing page and fall over the moment the real thing shows up: logins, payments, the two systems that have to talk, the exception your best customer needs. You would be the developer. Here, you are the owner.

Why is it so much cheaper than a dev shop?

Because we are not billing hours to a team of six. Two people, tooling that removes most of the typing, and parts we have already built fifty times. The price is the price of the week, not the price of a department.

Tell us what you want built.

We build a working piece of it and show you. Then you decide.
