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

Forge: Personal Finance Most finance apps are built by banks, funded by ads, and designed to sell you something. Forge is none of those things. No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts. No data collection. No cloud sync. No upsells. You pay once and own it forever. Your financial data never leaves your device — not because we say so, but because we never built the infrastructure to take it. Forge is an independent app built on one belief: you are capable of building your own financial future. You just need a clear plan and honest tools to execute it. BUILT AROUND THE 7 BABY STEP FRAMEWORK The proven framework championed by Dave Ramsey, John Bogle, Warren Buffett, Suze Orman, Ramit Sethi, and Morgan Housel — the world's most trusted financial voices. 1. $1,000 Starter Emergency Fund 2. Pay Off All Debt — snowball or avalanche 3. Full Emergency Fund — 3–6 months saved 4. Invest 15% for Retirement 5. Save for College 6. Pay Off Your Home Early 7. Build Wealth & Give FEATURES Smart Budget — Zero-based and 50/30/20 budgeting. Track every dollar by category. Monthly history with year-to-date totals. Category tips show exactly what belongs where and how much to target. Debt Payoff — Add your debts and see your exact payoff date. Watch how an extra $50/mo saves you thousands in interest. Net Worth Tracker — Monthly snapshots, long-term growth charts, wealth projections out 50 years. Financial Calculators — Compound interest, mortgage, debt payoff, savings goal, emergency fund. All offline. All instant. Goals — Set savings goals with monthly contribution tracking and progress trends. Forge Insights — Personalized recommendations based on your actual numbers, not generic advice. WHY NOT THE OTHER APPS? Big banks built apps to keep you dependent. Subscription apps need your recurring payment to survive. Ad-supported apps sell your behavior to the highest bidder. Forge has none of those incentives. We make money when you buy the app once — and that's it. Steel doesn't shape itself. You apply the heat. You swing the hammer.

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.
