Illustrative example: an invoice app for independent contractors. Your kit is tailored to the app you choose; this is not its generated content.

Feature spec

Goal: Send a clear invoice after finishing a job.

  • Add a client, line items, a due date, and payment instructions.
  • Preview the total before exporting a PDF.
  • Keep an editable draft if export fails.

Screen plan

Invoice editor: Client at the top, editable line items in the middle, total and preview action at the bottom.

States: Empty draft, validation errors beside each field, exporting, and a retry action that preserves the draft.

Differentiate and validate

Hypothesis: Contractors need faster repeat invoices more than more templates.

First experiment: Test duplicating a previous job with five contractors. Watch where they hesitate before expanding the feature set.

The full kit adds a phased build plan, evidence notes, tool prompts, and implementation guidance. It is a plan for your coding agent, not a finished app.

Usage: Mechanics are fair game; never reuse the original name, branding, assets, or verbatim copy.

App Store description

Love, Manuela is a baking app created by Norwegian baker Manuela Kjeilen, known as @passionforbaking. For more than a decade, Manuela has shared her love of baking with people around the world. She has published nine baking books, hosted her own baking show on TV in Sweden, and inspires more than 1.6 million followers on Instagram with her cakes, recipes, and beautiful baking ideas. Inside the Love, Manuela app, you get instant access to more than 470 baking recipes, all written in English, with high-quality step-by-step photos for every recipe from beginning to end. One-time purchase. No subscription. New recipes are included when they are added. For Manuela, taste always comes first. Beautiful cakes are lovely, but the most important thing is that every bite tastes delicious. Her recipes are created to let the flavors shine, with soft textures, creamy fillings, balanced sweetness, and desserts that taste just as good as they look. From everyday treats to celebration cakes, the recipes are made for home baking. Inside the app, you will find sponge cakes in many variations, ganaches in delicious flavors like strawberry, latte, and banana milkshake, lots of Scandinavian-style cakes, light fillings, cheesecakes, ice creams, sweet dough, frostings, cookies, cupcakes, and so much more. The app is made to feel like a growing digital baking book that you can return to again and again. It is easy to navigate, with clear recipe categories, improved search and filtering, and helpful tags so you can quickly find what you are looking for. A few more categories have also been added to make browsing even easier. Each recipe opens with a large photo and a short introduction, followed by clear directions, recipe notes, a place where you can write your own notes, and step-by-step photos that guide you through the recipe. Whether you are baking a cake, preparing a filling, whipping a frosting, or making cookies, the app is designed to help you feel confident in every step. New Cake Mode helps keep your screen awake while you read and follow a recipe, so you do not have to keep touching your phone or tablet while your hands are busy baking. The app has also been refined with improved UI, a smoother overall user experience, and an improved password reset flow. Love, Manuela is not a subscription. It is a one-time purchase of $12.99, converted to your local currency by the App Store or Google Play. You get access to all recipes inside the app instantly, and when new recipes are added in the future, they are included at no extra cost. Your purchase is connected to the store account you buy it with, either App Store or Google Play. You can restore your purchase anytime using the same store account.
