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

GEOFENCY enables fully automatic location-based time recording on iPhone, iPad, Mac & Apple Watch, where manual clock-in and clock-out becomes an absurdity of the past. Arrival and departure times are automatically recorded as soon as you enter or leave an interesting place – it works like magic! Of course all very energy efficient, thanks to the latest Geofencing & iBeacon technologies! With the integrated Webhook and Apple HomeKit automation features, you can trigger your smart home as you arrive or leave a place (e.g. switch on the lights when coming home)! Ideal for automatic monitoring of working hours, client visits, lunch breaks or the stays on your favorite places! GEOFENCY offers the easiest and most effective way to MONITOR your DURATION OF STAYS on interesting places. Unpleasant manual time recording was yesterday! • Are you tired of having to write down working hours again and again? • Fed up leaving the office absently, missed to check the clock? • Can't you remember when you came or left your favorite places? Let the iPhone take over this nerve-racking time monitoring for you! With GEOFENCY this is now possible in a smart and clever new way! Simply mark your points of interest on a map and leave the rest to Geofency! GEOFENCY automatically tracks the times when you enter or leave your points of interest. Simply carry your iPhone in your pocket or bag with you. You will automatically receive extensive statistics and graphics over time! Automatic Location-based Time Tracking – The (GEO)FANCY way! FEATURES • Automatic location-based time tracking - 24/7 time recording for your points of interest! • Graphical visualization of your dwell times - with zoom! • Rich statistics: Single-, Day-, Week- & Month-Summaries. • Map-View: Manage your points of interest directly on a beautiful fullscreen map view. • Add new locations in seconds – With just one tap! • Runs completely in the background while trying to maintain good battery life! • Automatic recognition when you enter or leave a place or region. • Tags: To group places into tags. • Home Automation: Integrates with Webhooks and Apple HomeKit to trigger automations when arriving at or leaving a place – from turning on lights to running complex smart home scenes! • Journaling feature: Automatic recognition of frequent visited places – to know exactly when you've been where and how long! • Calendar-Export: Export events automatically into your calendar (iCloud, CalDAV & Exchange) – view your data comfortable even from Mac or PC! • Widgets: Time Clock widgets to quickly clock in or out from the Home- or Lockscreen. • Apple Watch App! • Export feature: Send time recordings via e.g. email in an Excel-friendly format! • Export time data and use it directly in Excel or Numbers! BENEFITS Simple to use daily timesaver! You don't have to fiddle around with time recordings on yourself. Free your mind and just don't bother about manual time tracking anymore! PRIVACY 100% Private: Only YOU can see your data. We will never collect or share any information about you. We respect and care about the privacy of our users! REQUIREMENTS For the best and most accurate monitoring results, Wi-Fi, carrier and location services should always be enabled for Geofency. iBeacon monitoring requires at least Bluetooth 4. BATTERY USE Continued use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life. Geofency was designed to use GPS very sparingly and never in the background. The app relies mostly on cell tower + Wi-Fi locations. This has been carefully chosen to get the best battery life. WHAT PEOPLE SAY • "I had no idea that my iPhone could do such things!" • "Beautiful, polished and elegant designed. Extremely simple to use." • "Perhaps the most overall effective app available."

Build scope

Plan a focused first version with your coding agent. These are planning assumptions, not a delivery guarantee.

Define the first version

Choose one audience and one core workflow. Use the kit to agree on its screens, data, and acceptance criteria before building.

Set boundaries

Decide which secondary features, integrations, and platform support can wait. Your version does not need to reproduce everything in the original.

Check the hard parts

Validate external services, specialist technology, data access, and ongoing costs for your chosen scope.

A reliable timeline needs an agreed scope and a technical check. Ask your agent to estimate the phases in BUILD_PLAN.md after that review.
