An iOS app factory that runs on your own AI subscription
Appto is an iOS app factory for your Mac. It finds a niche where apps already make money, comes up with the app, designs and codes it, builds the App Store page with screenshots and ASO copy in every language, fills in App Store Connect and sends it to Apple when you say go. After launch it shows every sale live, answers reviews, tracks keywords and suggests fixes. It runs on your Claude Code or Codex plan, so there are no token bills. I'm not a developer and shipped 10 apps with it.
I'm not a developer. In July I built myself a factory for iOS apps, and since then it has shipped 10 of my apps to the App Store. Two more are in Apple review right now. Appto is that factory, packaged so anyone with a Mac can run it.
What the factory does
· finds niches where apps already make money and checks each one against the App Store
· comes up with the app and draws two or three design directions
· writes the code, tests it on the simulator and fixes what it finds
· commits every step to your private GitHub repo
· builds the App Store page, screenshots and ASO copy in every language
· picks keywords and tracks where you rank in search
· fills in App Store Connect, uploads the build and sends it to Apple review when you say go
· reads Apple's answer and fixes a rejection
· after launch, shows every sale the moment it happens, downloads, proceeds and a page score with a to-do list
· answers reviews, sets prices per country and drafts App Store events
You approve the moments that matter, like the niche, the design, the submit button and anything written to App Store Connect. The rest is the factory's job, for several apps at once, each with its own agent.
It runs on the Claude Code or Codex plan you already pay for, Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus from $20. No token bills, nothing extra per request.
The download is free and your first niche is free. Building takes a subscription from $9.99 a month, and live sales and niche revenue come with Studio at $29.99. You also need an Apple Developer account. Appto runs on Macs with Apple silicon or Intel.
Most of the gallery is my real account, so a few words in Russian slipped through. Niches and Design use sample data and say so in the window.
One question for you. If you've shipped an app, what took longer than writing the code?

Who hunted Appto?
Appto was hunted by Dmitriy Migunoff. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

I'm not a developer. In July I built myself a factory for iOS apps, and since then it has shipped 10 of my apps to the App Store. Two more are in Apple review right now. Appto is that factory, packaged so anyone with a Mac can run it.
