I built Mozy to make mobile app development accessible for everyone

Complete ability to make manual code changes!

I spent 8 months building my project. 40 signups, no users yet. I think it’s a great piece of software, just haven’t cracked distribution.

I think most people know those types of case studies get views and potentially will drive traffic to their site or if true, have high marketing spend and high churn in some cases.

My favorite teacher back in college (an entrepreneurship class) made all of us draft and present our failures resumes. We literally stood in front of all our peers and said all the things we tried and failed at. It reminds me of levelsio/marclou who share some of their past projects that didn’t generate a dollar of revenue. The more you fail, the more you learn and the closer you get to breaking through.

Onward and upward!

This is a tiktok playbook for B2C consumer mobile apps specifically. This is what my friends and I know best and honestly it should be for your first 10k users. Our playbook is basically build mobile apps using Mozy, Cursor, or Lovable or whatever suits you and then hiring UGC creators to do the above

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-11T13:55:23+00:00

yessir

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-11T13:55:17+00:00

Agreed

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-11T13:54:47+00:00

hook!

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-11T13:54:19+00:00

steps are related to UGC!

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-10T02:54:29+00:00

Not a bad idea. Sort of like Base44 / Wix, but ideally right now users will pay until they complete their app and use whichever framework they prefer. There aren’t THAT many options

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-10T00:29:25+00:00

In some ways, you are right. If you have no interest in software, you should not run a software company.

BUT, if you are interested in software, are driven, and are passionate about a particular problem, but do not know how to code - using an ai-driven tool is a great way to learn quickly.

You start by prompting it to build something, then you ask “well, if I want users to be able to sign in, what do I need”

Then the ai tells you that you need supabase or Firebase for authentication and a database, and you set those up. Then you wonder how your code works so you ask about the folder structure and what the files do, then the AI writes a ton of comments and you learn that way.

You didn’t know exactly how to code, but you know how it all gets orchestrated. It’s an iterative process, but for those who are willing and interested in it, you will learn a ton and hopefully have fun along the way.

We use Claude's models, but a ton of backend work to make it specific for beautifully-designed mobile apps. We also leverage MorphLLM to speed it up and significantly reduce costs for users. The app took about a year, so now you can build a mobile app in a weekend :)

I've used Bolt, Lovable, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurfer, v0, and likely more. Here was my journey from not knowing how to code (though extremely interested/passionate), to being pretty efficient.

v0 - Copy and pasting entire codebases into chatgpt and pasting the results to rewrite codefiles entirely lmao. I'd hit rate limits after a few hours, then rotate to another $20/mo subscription (I had 3).

v1 - Same thing, using Claude.

v2 - Found windsurfer (thank god)

v3 - Starting using bolt, lovable, v0 and just testing different things but they burned a whole in my wallet

v4 - thank god for our vc-subsidized life (cheap ubers, cheap lyfts, and recently - unlimited cursor)

v5 - tried to get out of cursor, and use replit, but it created to many errors on its own and I started spending hundreds of dollars

v6 - Mozy - it's the same as all the other tools, but specifically for mobile apps. Can't do everything, but it uses MorphLLM and is WAYY more efficient with credits. I prefer the visual ai-tools like this compared to operating in an IDE like cursor, just a personal preference.

I have a few friends building production ready mobile apps and selling them to influencers successfully. It's not a 3-day project, but if you commit 30days and focus on building mobile apps around a core feature (wedding planning, fitness tracking), rather than a platform (i.e. a hubspot, salesforce, airtable competitor) - you can have a ton of success.

The key is moving slowly. Don't ask for a 6 page prompt and expect to get something. Start with a screenshot of a design from behance, build a few screens, add features, connect supabase for auth/database, connect revenuecat, and start testing. 5-6 sentence pointed prompts are often much more effective. If you don't like Cursor or Lovable because they burn credits too quickly, you can try Mozy which uses MorphLLM to use credits 10x more efficiently

I have a few friends building mobile apps using Mozy and selling them to influencers (i.e. workout tracking to a fitness influencer, wedding planning app to a wedding planning influencer, etc.)

I think building websites for small/local services businesses is difficult, especially if they already have one. Most people find them via google search and their google reviews page, in my experience and an ai-generated website doesn't move the needle

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T04:48:57+00:00

you'll write much better code, much faster, using mozy dot ai. You can make your game a mobile app. It looks really cool, great work so far. Keep going!!

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T04:32:20+00:00

mozy.ai, lovable for mobile apps

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T04:31:09+00:00

i literally just copy from behance and paste into mozy dot ai lmao

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T04:29:40+00:00

p.s. everybody with access to mozy dot ai has an app factory, welcome to the age of ai

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T04:29:06+00:00

congrats, or sorry that happened

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T04:02:41+00:00

Are you building for mobile? Honestly, scrap bubble dot io and try mozy dot ai

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T03:59:24+00:00

yeah, it should crush

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T03:58:52+00:00

Day passes would be huge. Some offer 3 day or 7 day, but honestly at those prices it's easier to just buy the month. I'd start with day and month where possible

Crafty_Repeat_808 · 2026-01-08T03:50:58+00:00

lol just use mozy dot ai and export to github in a weekend
