01

What you will build

A daily checklist, a focus timer, and a few appearance controls. Your app will run in a browser and open from your phone home screen.

02

What you will learn

Start a project in Claude Code, build and change it with clear requests, check the result, save a working version, and publish it.

03

Included

The lessons, copy-and-paste prompts, a finished teaching project, recovery checkpoints, the included original asset set, and access to the course community under the published participation terms.

04

Build with me or use the files

Follow the build from a clean folder. The finished teaching project and checkpoints are there when you need a reference or a place to restart.

Before you buy

You need a supported Mac or Windows computer, an eligible Claude plan, and a compatible phone for the home-screen steps. No coding experience is required. This version of the course is for adults.

Claude Pro is currently $20 per month before applicable tax. Usage limits apply and the subscription is not included in the $19 course price. Existing subscribers may not need an additional purchase. The personal noncommercial teaching project can use Vercel Hobby; commercial projects require an appropriate plan. Provider pricing can change.

Time

Designed as an afternoon project. Final lesson length and tested setup guidance will be added before the course opens.

What this does not include

This is not an App Store submission course. The teaching app does not include accounts, cloud sync, payments or a custom AI assistant. Those are different steps, not hidden requirements for finishing this course.

Inside the course

The outline is here. The lessons are not available yet.

  1. Editorial study of a figure entering a sunlit architectural workspaceModule illustration
    Module 01

    Start here

    See the finished project and understand the few tools you will use.

    1. 01.01The app you are making

      Preview a personal checklist, a focus timer, and a few appearance controls. Separate a home-screen web app from an App Store app.

    2. 01.02What runs where

      Use boxes and arrows to explain the computer, Claude Code, local files, local Git checkpoints, Vercel, and the iPhone.

  2. Overhead editorial photograph of a laptop and notebook in a carefully arranged workspaceModule illustration
    Module 02

    Set up your workspace

    Start in a clean folder, open Claude Code, and save the first working version.

    1. 02.01Set up Claude Code

      Install the supported desktop app, sign in to an eligible plan, find the Code tab, and review permissions and usage.

    2. 02.02Open your first local preview

      Create the smallest web project and run it locally before adding product features.

    3. 02.03Save a working checkpoint

      Introduce Git as local version history, not as a cloud service.

  3. Dayform visual concept showing a daily intention and checklistModule illustration
    Module 03

    Build the daily checklist

    Make a small app do a useful job before decorating it.

    1. 03.01Give AI a clear brief

      Describe the screens, behavior, limits and checks for the next small slice.

    2. 03.02Add, edit and complete tasks

      Build Today with create, edit, delete and reversible completion actions.

    3. 03.03Make today and saved progress work

      Save state locally and key completions to a local calendar date rather than erasing history.

  4. Still visual concept showing a minimal focus timerModule illustration
    Module 04

    Add focus and make it yours

    Add a reliable timer and a small, consistent visual identity.

    1. 04.01Add the focus timer

      Use an end timestamp so the display can recover after a suspended tab; add start, pause, resume and reset.

    2. 04.02Set the name, color and background

      Make restrained, meaningful changes using a small set of coherent appearance choices.

    3. 04.03Create the icon and place assets

      Use the included original icon or demonstrate an optional image-generation route, then prepare correct asset files.

  5. Editorial study of a person reflecting beside a laptopModule illustration
    Module 05

    Check and recover

    Learn how to tell whether a change is real and how to recover when it is wrong.

    1. 05.01Check the app, not the done message

      Compare the actual preview with the requested change and run a short behavior checklist.

    2. 05.02Fix one problem without starting over

      Reproduce a useful bug, report expected and actual behavior, constrain the fix, and restore a checkpoint when needed.

  6. Elsewhere visual concept showing an editorial city guide on an iPhoneModule illustration
    Module 06

    Put it on your phone

    Deploy straight from the computer and test the iPhone home-screen experience.

    1. 06.01Deploy straight from your computer

      Link the local project to Vercel and create a preview deployment without GitHub.

    2. 06.02Promote it and verify the install files

      Promote the checked deployment, then verify the manifest, icons and small offline app shell on the live URL.

    3. 06.03Add it to your iPhone home screen

      Follow the verified iPhone Safari installation path and test the installed web app. Android installation is explicitly untested at launch.

  7. Editorial portrait of a figure carrying their laptopModule illustration
    Module 07

    Finish and take ownership

    Make one independent change and know how to keep going.

    1. 07.01Make one change without my exact prompt

      Transfer the build loop by choosing a small new behavior or layout change.

    2. 07.02Use the rescue files and choose your next step

      Explain source downloads, checkpoints, their license, local-data limits and the next course.

03 · The next step

Once you can build it, learn to make it yours.

Course 2 teaches the design decisions, prompting method and project systems behind a more independent build.

07 · FAQ
Will the booking or contact button actually work?

Yes. You connect the main action to an existing booking or inquiry service you control and test it from the visitor side and your own account. No custom backend is required.

Do I need to know how to code?

No previous coding experience is required for course 1. You will still learn how to describe a change, inspect what happened, test it and recover when it goes wrong.

Can I use a Windows computer?

Yes, for the tested course-1 and course-2 workflows. Course 3 uses a compatible Mac and Xcode.

Can I build using only my phone?

Not with the workflow taught here. Use a supported computer to build and your phone to test the result.

Will my first app be in the App Store?

No. Course 1 creates a home-screen web app. Native iPhone development and submission are covered in course 3.

Can I build a different idea?

Course 1 uses one small project so the instructions stay clear. Course 2 teaches you to adapt the process to your own small app. It is not a promise that every possible app fits the same scope.

Are the tools included in the price?

The listed teaching files and course tools are included. Third-party software, hosting upgrades, hardware and developer memberships are separate. Check the requirements before purchase.

Can I start with course 2 or 3?

Yes, once they are released. Higher packages include the earlier courses, so you can fill any gaps without buying the same material twice.

Is there live teaching?

The courses are prerecorded. Questions and project feedback happen in the community. No recurring live session or guaranteed personal debugging service is included.

Can I reuse the included project?

You can adapt the teaching project according to its included license. Your purchase does not include the production source of breathe or unrestricted resale of course materials and third-party assets.

Does the app save my data?

The first teaching app saves ordinary task data locally. It is not cloud sync, and clearing browser data can remove it. You will learn the limits and how later recovery options work.
