Brand deals and affiliates don't compound.

You post, you pitch, you chase payments and you do it all again next month.

Brand deals come and go. Affiliate commissions pay pennies. Launches are exhausting. None of it stacks — you're always starting from zero to earn next month's income.

Meanwhile, your audience is already spending money on apps in your niche. Just not your app.

What if you owned an app that paid you every month?

Recurring revenue, not one-offs.

Subscriptions stack. Every new user adds to what you made last month. Revenue that compounds while you sleep.

Scales without you.

One app serves thousands of users. More downloads doesn't mean more hours. Pure leverage.

Your name in the App Store.

Same energy as launching a product line or writing a book — except this one pays you every month.

Ownership and control.

You set the price. You own the roadmap. No middleman. No platform risk. It's yours.

$0 upfront. Up to 50% equity.

I invest my time and resources to build your app for free. In return, we split the revenue. You keep up to 50% of the equity — the more you bring to the table, the more you keep.

01

Apply

Tell me about your audience and what you're building. I only take on creators I believe in — and niches where apps are already making money.

02

Partner

We agree on the equity split, sign a simple partnership agreement, and lock in your niche. One creator per niche. First to commit wins.

03

Build

I design, develop, and handle everything. You give feedback at three checkpoints. Total time commitment: about 40 minutes across 21 days.

04

Launch

Coordinated launch leveraging your audience. I publish to both app stores. You introduce it the way you'd introduce any product you believe in.

05

Grow

Revenue compounds month over month. I continuously optimize, update, and maintain. You earn while you create.

I only make money when you make money.

The equity model means I'm fully invested in your success. I don't get paid unless your app generates revenue. That's why I'm selective about who I partner with — and why I build like it's my own business. Because it is.

Steve Harris

I'm Steve. I build apps for creators.

14 years building digital products — websites, platforms, membership systems, and now mobile apps. Five apps shipped to the App Store. 30+ five-star reviews from clients over the years.

I'm not an agency. I'm one person who builds things that work and partners with creators who have audiences that would use them.

Don't have an app idea? I'll create one for you. I research what's already making money in your niche, find the gap, and build your version.

Frequently asked questions

How is this free? What's the catch?

No catch. I front all the development costs. In return, I take a share of the revenue. If the app doesn't make money, I don't make money. That's the deal.

How much equity do I keep?

Up to 50%. The exact split depends on what you bring — audience size, engagement, niche potential. We agree on everything before we start.

What do you mean by "you handle everything"?

Literally everything. UI/UX design, iOS development, Android development, backend infrastructure, App Store account setup, app submission, review process, updates, bug fixes, server maintenance — all of it. You focus on your content and audience.

How long does it take?

Most apps go from kickoff to live in 21 days. Your total time commitment across the whole build is about 40 minutes — three short feedback calls.

Do I own the app?

You own your equity stake in the app and all revenue that comes with it. The partnership agreement spells out exactly who owns what. No surprises.

What kinds of apps work best?

Niche utility apps that solve a specific problem for your audience. Fitness trackers, meal planners, habit apps, finance tools, wellness journals — anything your followers would pay $10–$15/month to use. We don't invent ideas. We find what's already making money and build your version.

Why would someone use my app instead of an existing one?

Because they trust you. Your audience follows you because they believe in your perspective. A generic app can't compete with one that carries your name, your brand, and your recommendations built in.

What if my app doesn't make money?

You don't owe me anything. I carry the build cost risk. If it doesn't perform, I lose my time and investment — not you. That said, I only partner with creators where the math works, which is why the application process exists.

What if I don't have an app idea?

That's fine — most creators don't. I'll research your niche, find what's already working, and come to you with a recommendation. You don't need an idea. You need an audience.
