About

Most ideas die in the gap between having one and starting it.

Not because the idea was bad, but because the first week is unglamorous: is anyone already doing this, is the name available, what would it even be called, where does the code go. AppCrafter exists to make that week take an afternoon.

Why it works this way

There is no shortage of tools that will generate a hundred startup ideas. The problem was never supply. The problem is that a generated idea is worthless until someone has checked whether the market exists, whether a competitor already owns it, and whether you can actually get the domain.

So the order matters here. Plan before you name. Name before you brand. Brand before you build. Connect the database before you take payments, and publish before you ask search engines to look. Each step is grounded in the one before it, and every step is saved — including the concepts you rejected, because those are the evidence that the one you chose was chosen rather than settled for.

How we build it

Four commitments.

Verify, do not suggest

Most naming tools hand you a list and let you discover the disappointment yourself. Every domain we show has been checked with its own registry, and a name we cannot confirm as free is not shown as if it were. Some endings, such as .io and .co, have no public registry lookup; for those we check DNS and label the result "likely available", so you know to confirm it at a registrar. When a registry is unreachable we say that, instead of showing an empty list you would read as 'everything is taken'.

Your accounts, your code, your data

Your app's code goes to your own GitHub account, its data lives in your own Supabase project, and your domain stays at your registrar. Use the AI credits included with Pro, or connect your own provider and pay it directly. We never store your access tokens. If you stopped paying us tomorrow, your code and data would still be yours.

Estimates are hypotheses

The product produces revenue projections and opportunity scores. They are generated by a language model from the research available at that moment, and we label them as starting hypotheses rather than forecasts everywhere they appear, including in the README committed to your repository.

No invented activity

Nothing in the workspace shows data you did not create. No sample projects dressed as yours, no fabricated deployment counts, no progress bars for work that is not happening. If a feature is not built yet, the interface says so rather than implying otherwise.

Who it is for

People who would rather spend a day proving an idea is wrong than three months finding out. Solo founders, small agencies validating a product line, engineers with a shortlist and no way to choose between them.

And for people who already know what they want: describe it, or point at an app you admire, and AppCrafter plans it, names it, brands it and builds it with you, then adds the parts most products need, such as payments, an admin panel, languages and search visibility. It writes real code you can read and keep, which means the judgement is still yours: review what it builds, and test it before you sell it.

Start with the part that usually gets skipped.

Plan first. It is free for one app.
