The mission
One person. Spare hours. Zero lines of code. Twelve months. How far does it go?
Day job in aviation, a family at home, a runner who’d rather be outside. Never wrote software. In July 2026 I opened Claude Code, described what I wanted, and argued with it until something worked. This page counts the results — apps that shipped, support that came in, and the ones that didn’t make it — without rounding anything in my favour. Everything that ships is free to start; the deal is below.
Who
One non-developer, after the family’s asleep or before the run.How
Vibe coding with Claude Code. Plain English in, working app out (eventually).Window
28 Jul 2026 → 28 Jul 2027. No extensions.The two questions
How many apps actually ship? Does anyone find one useful enough to back it?The crew
One human, learning to orchestrate.
I’m not a developer. I’m learning, like everyone else, what it means to run a crew of code agents — which ones to send in, how many at once, when to step in. These are the numbers so far.

Flight log
What happened, when
- LatestDay 82
After the Agentower launch we moved to the next one. I love running as running changed my life...I would like to create something on the sports side of things why not running. I am working on Splits Don't Lie....to address recent growing cheating concerns around the running community. Wait to see if it passes and gets live. Do you have any app suggestion?
- Day 80
AgenTower is live. During beta, while one of 5 places is open — 6 months of Solo free. Try it yourself.
- Day 79
Tomorrow is the day agentower will se the day light for the first time, reserve your spot. There are 5 free spots or you can chose to trial it. Agentower also have a feedback feature built in to improve the tool.
- Day 77
One of these 15 AI agents needs you. Find it in 3 seconds. Heading on the right direction. Book a sit.
- Day 76
We keep grinding...agentower is beautiful and I think the app is really great but we believe we will have to postpone the launch for a couple of days. We will get there. This is what being an Indie Dev life is about. I am learning.
- Day 73
We are three days away from launching AgenTower be the first one hand-on is the most intuitive app you ever seen to manage your Agents from any major frontier model.
- Day 72
Agentower is about to enter prod. Do you want to be the first send me an email with the word "agentower" for access to the app.
- Day 68
AgenTower has a domain https://agentower.com
- Day 65
We have officially entered October with under 300 day to go. We are working actively in AgenTower as I belive this is a great solution to help my workflow. We also entered the era of using mutiple agents for the same project which means I am consuming tokens at an higher rate. Which means I will have to set a guardrail we are on this to learn and enjoy the ride not to be the fastest deploying.
- Day 62
Three new apps just hit the pipeline: AgenTower, VowBacked and KiloPaid. Find more about them above in shippedin12months.com, and sponsor our deployment efforts. Thanking you in advance. Thank you.
- Day 60
Another great news. Latestnote is live.
60th day of season one of shippedin12months. So far what as "hell of a ride" we have been loving every part of the jouney, I am growing as a user of AI and as a vibe coder...great moment to be alive.
- Day 59
We have our X account live, follow us in X. Thank you very much.
- Day 58
We have been making a few updates in shippedin12months.com. Let's us know what do you think?
Change of plan on pricing. Free for everything doesn't keep domains renewed or tell me which apps matter. From today every app is free to start, and you pay once you want more of it. The ones priced on results still only charge when they deliver. No one was paying yet, so no one loses anything.
- Day 57
We are actively working on Keep License Live kick-off. Do you have any suggestions for apps make in touch.
- Day 56
We are in the search for app suggestions. Would you like something to be built, that would be useful for you and your team or friends, let us know to see if there's viability to build it.
Three new apps cooking - Keep License Live | Rules Radius | Filing Awake. Give your suggestion.
- Day 53
We are baking the finals for tradeslip coming out. Should be out today or considered shipped.
- Day 52
We have beem trying actively to find ways to distribute the apps we are building do you'll have suggestions?
- Day 49
Tradeslipapp.com is almost ready. You can already visit the website.
- Day 47
Plain Card app is shelved due to limitation on hosting fees.
- Day 46
We have started building four apps: Footer Kit, Latest Note, Plain Card, and Trade Slip
- Day 45
We start deploying Trademark / Lookout app to help you with clarifying a possible trademark by watching USPTO and EUIPO trademark filings for you and alerts you when something confusingly similar to your mark gets filed — no manual re-checking required.
We have parked Trademark/Lookout due to cumbersome process in getting access to API and real value proposition of the app.
- Day 44
- Uptime IOUShelved
Uptime IOU app shelved for poor business case.
- Day 42
- SolarLive
Almost all apps are now transitioned to full for free access or keep it running (option to give me some support). It is only missing Finitegrid on the making.
- Day 40
- SolarLive
Big shift to make all Apps free as we are not suns of the LLMs we use everything they tell us they will tell others to do the same. All apps created will be for free and you will have the option to pay me a £9/mo if you want to pay me two coffees every month until the domains are made redundant (they will only be renewed if people believe the apps add value especially businesses).
- Day 38
- SolarLive
Solar website is solarassetsmanagement.com and it's taking longer to ship.
- Day 0
Clock starts. FiniteGrid deployed for the first time — the twelve months count from today.
The deal
Start free. Pay if it earns its place.
Every app on this page is free to start. Try it, see if it fits, and only pay once you want more of it. The ones priced on results never charge until they actually deliver something for you.
Because this is an experiment: what can one person build from scratch, with AI, in twelve months? Without being naive about it — the same AI that tells me what to build tells everyone else the same. There is no moat here, only what ships. If something gets traction, we’ll see what that turns into.
Option one
Try it. Free to start.
No card to start. If an app earns a place in your week, upgrade when you need more of it.
Option two
One coffee. $5 a month.
Keeps the lights on across all of them, and tells me which way to lean. I’d be very grateful if this is your choice.
Buy me a coffee · $5/moTested one and found it properly useful? Email me at hello@shippedin12months.com and we’ll talk about keeping it alive.
Every number is real. Support comes through Stripe, not from me (last synced 19 Oct 2026, 13:00).
