Get The Tiny App Blueprint
Across the internet right now, tiny apps — most built by one person, many built mostly by A.I. — are quietly making $30,000 to over $1,000,000 a month. This free field guide is the honest, copy-paste version of the video: the real apps, the four repeatable money patterns, the exact build stack, the prompts, and the one lesson almost nobody copies. THE TEN (with sources tagged VERIFIED vs SELF-REPORTED): fly.pieter.com — a browser flight sim built ~100% in Cursor in 3 hours, ~$50K/mo from in-game ad billboards (404 Media); Launch Fast — an Amazon-seller research tool by a true non-coder, built in Cursor, $30K/mo (Indie Hackers); Kleo — a LinkedIn growth tool built with Claude Code, $62K/mo; UMAX + Rizz — selfie-rating & dating-reply apps built in Cursor, ~$200K/mo (Fortune, founder claimed more — unverified); Plinq — a dating-safety background-check app built on Lovable by a non-engineer in 45 days, ~$38K/mo; Formula Bot — plain-English-to-Excel-formula, built with ZERO code on Bubble, ~$42K/mo; RankPill — AI SEO automation, a first-ever product by someone who couldn't code, +$23K/mo; Cal AI — point your camera at food and get the calories, ~$1.4M/mo gross profit (CNBC), acquired by MyFitnessPal; PhotoAI + HeadshotPro — selfies into pro AI headshots, $150K–$300K/mo; Base44 — a solo-built AI app-builder (Cursor + Claude) that sold to Wix for $80M cash in six months. THE 4 MONEY PATTERNS: (1) The Wrapper — point AI at one annoying task and do it in one tap; (2) The Niche Tool — one audience with money, the one boring thing they'll pay for monthly; (3) The Selfie Loop — analyze a photo, return a score, sell the upgrade; (4) The Fun Object — one shareable thing, money from ads. THE BUILD STACK every time: describe your idea to Cursor / Claude Code / Lovable → bolt on Stripe → ship in a weekend. Plus 4 COPY-PASTE PROMPTS (the niche-task finder, the master build prompt, the wrapper prompt, and a $0 weekend-validation plan) — fill in the brackets and go. THE LESSON NOBODY COPIES: if the code is now a weekend, the code is NOT the moat — distribution is. Levels had a following, Anderson won on TikTok, Shlomo built the tooling. So don't start with the app. Start with the audience. Every revenue figure is tagged honestly and is point-in-time.
