Got tired of paying for tools that should be free.
Opened my terminal. 30 minutes later, I had my own voice-to-text app running.
Then I thought... how hard is it to actually design an iOS app?
Set a 30 min timer. Went into Figma. Hard stopped when it went off. Told Claude what I was seeing in my head, gave it the interactions, and it built it.
Couple more prompts. Done.
First iOS app. My own tool. No subscription. And most importantly... IT LOOKS COOL ASF.
YOU CAN JUST BUILD THINGS.
If you’re a designer scared to start, follow along. I’m sharing exactly how I went from knowing nothing about code to shipping my own apps.
Starting a new content journey over at IG if you wish to follow me there!
Will be sharing more Design to Code workflows 👀

Great! But you still paid claude monthly subscription to develop it
The value of it is x200 though 👀
Hey @Brian Alvarado , love this, man, so cool, would love to give it a try
I unfortunately can't share this to the app store due to them not allowing published apps be so simple, and i'm only offering voice to text haha :(
would love to if I could!
oh, I see
This is so cool!
Thank you!
