Get Shit Done

Build and ship your first App

Most people who want to build an app don't fail because they lack talent.
They fail because no one taught them how to operate
how to move from idea to working product to revenue, without losing momentum.

The Mission

Not a tutorial.
A complete build.

In 26 weeks you'll build a real app, launch it, and set up your first revenue stream — using Claude Code and the GSD plugin: a structured workflow protocol that gives you a senior engineer's operating rhythm from day one.

Not a sandbox exercise. A complete build, shipped under your name.

Your Toolkit

Two tools.
One operating system.

🤖
Claude Code
Anthropic's AI coding assistant — not a code generator, but a collaborative engineering partner that handles implementation detail so you can focus on architecture and decisions.
GSD (Get Shit Done)
The plugin this training is built around. Fifteen precision commands for every critical moment in a project lifecycle. You don't just write code — you run a professional development operation.

The Program

26 weeks. 7 phases.
One live product.

Ground School · Free
Phase 1
Ground School
Weeks 1–5
Before you leave Earth, you learn the instruments. Set up your environment, build your first project scaffold with GSD, and develop the muscle memory for working with Claude Code. By Week 5 you have a functioning skeleton, a defined scope, and the operational instincts to carry a project forward.
✓ Completely free — no credit card
Core Package · €499
Phase 2
Systems Check
Weeks 6–10
APIs, external data, logic layers. Your app starts doing things on its own.
Phase 3
Building the Brain
Weeks 11–15
Database architecture, state management, complex user flows. This is the phase that separates projects that ship from projects that stall.
Phase 4
Flight Simulation
Weeks 16–18
Mobile or web deployment, real device testing, performance under real-world constraints. At the end of Phase 4 you have a complete, tested product ready to ship.
Launch & Growth Add-on · €499
Phase 5
Mission Economics
Weeks 19–21
Monetization strategy, pricing models, revenue architecture — built in from the start, not bolted on after.
Phase 6
Launch Sequence
Weeks 22–24
Distribution, metadata, listings, compliance. The logistics of going live, done right.
Phase 7
Orbit
Weeks 25–26
Growth fundamentals, metrics, your first iteration cycle. What happens after launch is what determines whether an app survives.
What You'll Have

At the end of 26 weeks.

📱
A live product
App Store or deployed web app — real, publicly accessible, under your name.
💰
A monetization model
Built into the product architecture from Week 19 — not bolted on as an afterthought.
Claude Code + GSD fluency
A workflow skill that currently belongs to a very small part of the global developer workforce.
📋
A documented build process
A system you can repeat and improve. The second app takes a fraction of the time.
🏆
A portfolio artifact
Demonstrates execution, not just intent. The market rewards people who ship.
🚀
An operating rhythm
The GSD session workflow — discuss, plan, execute, verify, ship — scales to any project you’ll ever build.
Pricing

Five weeks free.
Then one decision.

Complete Phase 1 at no cost. If you want to continue, most people choose the Full Mission Pack — it's the complete programme for €100 more than the foundation alone. One payment, lifetime access. No subscription.

Who This Is For

You need an idea worth building.
We handle the rest.

🧠
No coding experience
The program starts from zero. GSD’s creator built it because he himself couldn’t code — and shipped production software anyway.
Consistent effort
26 weeks of structured sessions. The weekly rhythm was designed for people with day jobs — not full-time builders.
💡
An idea worth building
You bring the idea. Phase 0 helps you sharpen it before Week 1 begins. Phase 1 turns it into something real.
FAQ

Common questions

I can't code. Is this really for me?
Yes — and you're exactly who this was built for. This programme is not about learning to write code. It's about learning to direct AI that writes code for you. Claude Code is your builder. Cowork is your thinking partner. Your job is to know what you want to build and make clear decisions. If you can write a clear sentence, you can work with these tools. The skills you're developing are product thinking, structured communication, and shipping discipline — not syntax.
How many hours per week does this take?
Plan for five to seven hours. Each week has five missions that take around an hour each, plus time to actually build and test what you shipped. Some weeks run short — installation, configuration, a quick review. Some run long — your first real API integration, your first user auth flow. The programme is designed for people with jobs, families, and other obligations. It's not easy, but it's designed to fit into real life.
What if I fall behind or miss a week?
Nothing locks. There are no live sessions, no cohort deadlines, no penalty for going at your own pace. The weekly structure is a guide, not a schedule. Some people finish in 26 weeks. Some take 40. Both are fine outcomes. The only thing that matters is that you keep moving — one mission at a time.
What does this actually cost beyond the training fee?
Honest answer: a little. Here's what you'll need: Claude Pro — $20/month. You'll use Claude Code and Cowork throughout the programme. This is the main ongoing cost. Apple Developer Account — $99/year. Required if you're building a native iOS app and want to submit to the App Store. Not needed for web apps. Hosting — minimal or free at first. Most apps in this programme start with free tiers on Supabase, Railway, or Vercel. Domain — around $15/year. Needed for web apps; optional for iOS-only. Total outside costs: roughly $25–30/month while you're building. For iOS: add the $99 Apple fee when you're ready to ship. For web: domain and hosting costs replace that.
Do I need a Mac?
It depends on what you're building. For web apps: no. Claude Code runs on Mac, Linux, and Windows. You can complete the full programme — including Phase 4 testing, launch, and everything in the add-on — on any operating system. For native iOS apps: yes. Xcode — required to build and submit iOS apps — only runs on macOS. If you're on Windows and set on building iOS, you'd need access to a Mac or a cloud Mac service like MacStadium. If you're undecided, the web track removes this constraint entirely.
What kind of app can I build — are there limitations?
The programme guides you through building a real product with real features: user authentication, external API integrations, payments, and distribution. You choose your track at the end of Phase 3 (Week 15), once you've built the core of your app and know what it needs to become: native iOS app (App Store distribution) or web app / SaaS (deployed to the web). Phases 1–3 are identical for both. Within that, the idea is yours. Past completers have built habit trackers, niche tools, B2B utilities, and consumer apps. The constraint is scope — your Week 1 app needs to be something one person could realistically build in 26 weeks. The programme helps you define that scope correctly from the start.
iOS, web app, or Android — what's supported?
The programme has two fully supported tracks: native iOS (App Store distribution) and web / SaaS (deployed to the web, accessible in any browser). Both tracks follow the same workflow through Phases 1–3 and 5, then diverge for Phase 4 (testing) and Phase 6 (launch) where the mechanics differ by platform. Android is not a supported track. Android development with Claude Code is possible, but it's a different toolchain and not covered here. If you're building for Android specifically, the foundations will transfer but you won't get platform-specific guidance for Phases 4 and 6.
What's the difference between the Core Package and the Combo — do I need to decide now?
The Core Package (€499) covers Phases 2 through 4: from zero to a working, tested product that's ready to ship. You'll leave with a real product and a real skill. The Full Mission Pack (€599) adds Phases 5 through 7, which cover payments, distribution and launch, and post-launch growth. You don't have to decide now. You can buy Core, complete it, and upgrade for €199 later — though that brings your total to €698, so buying the Full Mission Pack upfront at €599 saves you €99. If you already know you want to ship and monetise, the Full Mission Pack is the better value.
