WHAT YOU GET

Never worry about the complicated stuff again.

Sign-in, subscriptions, AI features and everything else you'll need. Already built.

Google, Apple or email. Password resets and confirmation emails included.

Onboarding choices for Work, Learning, Creativity and Just exploring

03

Charge for the good part.

They hit the free limit, they pay, the money lands in your account. Subscriptions run on RevenueCat.

A streaming AI conversation in the starter app

04

AI worth paying for.

Chat, image generation and a scanner. Your API keys stay on your server, never in the app.

A chat message carrying a photo, with the assistant's answer below

05

Send a photo, not just text.

Photos upload and go to the AI along with the message.

The scan camera with a frame overlay, shutter and library buttons

06

Point the camera at it.

Scan turns a photo into a name, a category and a confidence score.

Profile screen with an edit drawer, theme toggle and delete account

07

The delete button Apple asks for.

Profile editing, avatar upload, password change, and the account deletion Apple requires.

Home screen in light and dark theme

08

Light and dark, done.

Looks right in both. Analytics and the App Store release checklist are included too.

THE HONEST QUESTION

Why start with NativeExpress when AI can write the code?

Because your AI gets further with an app that already works. Keep your coding tool. Start from connected sign-in, subscription and AI flows, then spend your effort on the part only you can build.

Ask AI to customize the appInvent the project structure and patterns as the app grows.Existing screens, conventions and agent skills give your coding tool a real project to extend.
Prepare for the storesAssemble build configuration, screenshots, listings and a release process.Build profiles, screenshot generation and release checklists. Store accounts and review stay yours.

Both paths still need your product decisions, service accounts and testing. The difference is where your AI starts.

FROM THE FOUNDER

I built this for my own apps first.

I still use it for everything I ship. I keep it updated, I write the docs, and I answer support myself. Discord or email, usually within a business day.

Your agent copies the code it reads. This code is clean, so what your agent writes is clean too. That's how I ship mine in a day.
