You Keep The

While the rest of your niche is still selling ebooks, courses, and communities, you'll have your name in the App Store and subscribers who pay you whether you posted today or not.

The Opportunity

What If You Owned
An App That Paid You Monthly?

Your audience is already paying for apps in your niche — just not yours. An app runs on autopilot while you create.

MRR That Compounds

Every new subscriber is pure revenue with no extra work. Add 10 users or 10,000 — the work is the same: nothing. Revenue scales up, hours don't.

Subscribers · MRRGrowing ↑

Skip The $50K Cheque

50K is what custom apps cost. It's also what other creators in your niche are gathering agency quotes for. You're skipping the quote, the cheque, and the six-month wait. By the time they break ground, you're already collecting.

Your Name In The App Store

The next time a follower, friend or family asks what you're working on, you don't say 'launching a new course.' You tell them to search your name in the App Store. Watch their eyebrows go up.

Pays You While You Sleep

Every new subscriber is pure revenue with no extra work. While the creators you came up with are still pitching brand deal #47, your app is earning while you sleep. Add 10 users or 10,000 — the work is the same: nothing.

About · Your Partner

Hi, I'm Steve Harris.
I Build Apps For Creators.

Steve Harris — Founder, Astrum Software
14 years shipping digital products
31+ five-star reviews

14 years building digital products: websites, platforms, membership systems, ecom shops, and mobile apps. 31+ five-star client reviews along the way.

We're not a traditional agency. Olivia (Ops Lead) and I are boutique by design — you work directly with the people building your app. No account managers, no handoffs, no bloat. Just experienced, professional hands giving your project undivided attention.

Past: three years ago, an app like this would have cost you $80K and 6 months of your life — assuming you knew which agency to trust.

Present: right now, the creators in your niche with five times your audience still don't have one. You can move now.

Future: in eighteen months, every serious creator will have an app the same way every serious creator has a podcast today. The ones who got in early will be the ones quoted in the case studies.

Valid Concerns

Valid Concerns,
And The Reality.

I don't have an app idea.

You don't need an idea. The creators who win at this aren't the ones with ideas — they're the ones with audiences. I'll handle the idea. You bring the people.

What's the catch?

The 'catch' is that I need your app to succeed too. I invest weeks of my time and expertise. If the app doesn't make money, I don't make money. Our incentives are aligned.

I'm not technical.

You don't need to be. I handle everything — design, development, App Store publishing. You just give feedback on designs and keep creating your content.

What's the equity split?

50/50 is the baseline for creators building from scratch — it's how I justify shipping a $50K–$150K app for $0 upfront. For larger audiences, established teams, or unusual deal structures, we negotiate a split that respects the cap table you're already working with. Same principle either way: I only earn when the app does.

What if it doesn't work?

Then I've invested weeks of work for free and you have a published app with your name on it. The risk is entirely on me. You lose nothing.

I don't have time for this.

You're approving, not building. Four sign-offs from you: the design, use of your brand assets (name, likeness, content), the feature list, and the final build before App Store push. I handle the rest — no project management theatre.

I don't want a months-long project with Zoom calls and dashboards.

No ClickUp, no dashboards, no Zoom marathons. We message on WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack — your choice. 14 years of shipping digital products means a build pipeline that just runs. Stages move on rails. You stay on your phone. The app ships in 14 days.

How do you make sure the app actually performs?

I model your app on what's already winning in your niche — proven patterns, proven monetisation, proven UX. No reinventing the wheel. You're not gambling on a new idea — you're shipping a refined version of something already printing.

Stuff

Money
How much will I actually make?
Depends on audience size and niche. Most creator apps at 100K+ followers hit $10K–$20K MRR by month two. Not retirement money on paper — but it's the number that gets you booked on podcasts as a founder, not a creator.
When do I get paid?
Monthly payouts, direct to your bank account. Full transparency via the revenue dashboard.
Process
How much time do I have to commit?
As little as 40 minutes total if you wanted to — three short feedback calls spaced across the 14 days. You can be as hands on or hands off as you want. At a minimum, just need your approval on what the app will do, what features it has and the design.
Can I be involved in the design?
Yes. I send mockups at three checkpoints. You approve or redirect. Then I build.
Ownership
Who owns the app?
We co-own it through a simple LLC structure, with the split we agreed on. Your brand, your name, our shared equity.
Can I buy you out later?
Yes. We can agree a buy-out formula upfront if you prefer. Most partners prefer to keep the partnership since I keep maintaining and growing it for free.
Outcomes
What if the app fails?
No cost to you — I eat the dev time. You have a published app with your name on it regardless.
What kinds of apps work best?
Anything that serves your audience with a recurring value loop: workouts, meditations, finance tools, courses, community, habit trackers.
Can I run ads inside the app?
Yes, though we usually prioritize subscription revenue — it compounds faster and has better unit economics.
