Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Phase 1 is completely free — no credit card, no commitment. Five weeks, twenty-five missions, a real working app. You experience the full programme before you spend anything. Payment only comes into play if you decide to continue after Phase 1. At that point you've already seen exactly how the programme works, what the sessions feel like, and what you're capable of building. You're not buying blind. Because you receive immediate access to digital content upon payment — and that content can be saved and copied — purchases are non-refundable. This is standard for digital training products and disclosed clearly before checkout. The free Phase 1 is your trial period. Use it.

Getting stuck is part of the process — and Claude Code is genuinely good at unsticking you. The programme teaches you a specific debugging workflow: describe what you expected, describe what happened, show the error, ask Claude Code to diagnose before it fixes. This works for the vast majority of problems you'll hit. When it doesn't, the programme community is there. You're not alone in the build — you just have better tools than anyone did five years ago.
