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

Most journaling apps fail because they ask too much. MonoLine asks for almost nothing. One photo. One line. Once a day. That's it. There's no blank page to stare at. No formatting toolbar. No folders or tags or organizational systems to maintain. You open the app, add a photo from your day, write a single line about it, and you're done. The whole thing takes thirty seconds. And then it compounds. After a week you have a week. After a month you have a month. After a year you have 365 moments — a grid of photos and the line you wrote beneath each one — that no highlight reel or social feed will ever give you back. WHAT MAKES MONOLINE DIFFERENT One entry per day, enforced. The constraint is the feature. You can't overwrite today or add a second entry. You show up, you write, you're done. Three ways to see your life. Feed view shows your entries chronologically. Grid view shows your photos as a visual archive. Both views let you tap any day to read what you wrote. Your streak, honestly tracked. A number in the corner of the app. No gamification, no pressure — just your record, kept honestly. Private by design. No ads. No AI reading your entries. No social features. Your journal is yours. Export anytime. Download your full journal as JSON or Markdown. Your words don't live only in an app. FOR PEOPLE WHO KEPT ABANDONING DAY ONE MonoLine is for the person who bought a beautiful notebook and filled three pages. For the person who downloaded four journaling apps and deleted them all. For the person who knows that one honest line beats a thousand words they never wrote. Start your first entry today.

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.
