Building useful apps, SaaS, and AI tools in public
I’m the indie developer behind @kovsmakesapps. I ship focused products, test ideas in the real world, and share what works, what fails, and what I learn next.
Small products, real experiments
Each product starts with a focused problem and becomes a chance to learn more about product decisions, distribution, and what people actually value.
SaaS & AI
Currently building
Agent-native tools and focused applications that turn complicated information into useful action.
Contract Analyzer
Turns leases, job offers, NDAs, and freelance agreements into clear reports with risk scores and exact-source quotes.
AdPilot MCP
An independent hosted MCP service that works with Apple Ads advertising services, giving AI assistants campaign context, durable memory, and safely bounded management tools.

SleepLink
Transforms raw CPAP therapy data into clearer trends and practical insights for people managing their sleep health.
iPhone Apps
Everyday utilities
Focused mobile apps built around one understandable job, from splitting a bill to planning time in the sun.
Tip & Split
Calculate a tip, split the bill fairly, and check local tipping customs without slowing down the table.
Replio
Draft thoughtful, respectful ways to say no across work, family, and everyday situations.
Solay
Plan time in the sun with live UV conditions, personalized timers, SPF reminders, and local insights.
Ship, test, learn, repeat
The goal is not to look busy. It is to make every release answer a useful question.
Ship a focused version
Start with the smallest product that can solve the core problem and expose the important assumptions.
Test it in the real world
Use customer behavior, ASO, Apple Ads, and direct conversations to find where the idea holds up.
Share the useful lesson
Document the decisions, numbers, mistakes, and technical details another builder can use.
The thinking behind the shipping
Technical write-ups, product decisions, distribution experiments, and honest lessons from building the portfolio.

I share new releases, small wins, failed bets, technical decisions, and what the numbers actually say on X.
