Fire Your Apps

Last updated: July 31, 2025

The average person checks their phone 144 times per day. What if we built apps they only needed once?

The last wave of consumer apps was designed to be addictive. Keep users scrolling & maximize ad revenue. The business model demanded our attention.

This time feels different.

Users want value, not entertainment. They're willing to pay real money for apps that actually solve problems instead of creating new ones.

The shift is obvious:

• Sitch finds your person without endless swiping
• Lovable builds your app idea without years of coding
• Suno creates your perfect song without hitting shuffle

Too many founders are building social media 2.0 with AI. That's the wrong direction. AI should help us spend less time on our phones, not more.

The future looks like apps you "hire" once to plan your perfect dinner date or make you money while you sleep.

Build tools, not traps.
