How it works

  1. Launched on the App Store in August 2025 and entered RevenueCat's Shipaton 2025
  2. Built in 14 days: he prepared data structures and UI screenshots, and Claude Code and Cursor produced the design, code and assets
  3. The app finds class-action settlements a user qualifies for, estimates the payout, and alerts them when new settlements open
  4. Most effort went into onboarding and the paywall, with weekly and yearly plans and a push toward the higher-LTV yearly plan
  5. Early installs came from niche content creators; paid ads are planned as the long-term channel

Could we copy it?

Partly copyable Two weeks of AI coding is the easy part. The hard parts are finding a niche people pay for, getting onboarding and the paywall right, and buying or earning installs through creators and ads.
