Which AI? The one you already pay for

ShipLock does not make the app. Your AI does. ShipLock makes it live and shareable. So use whichever AI you already pay for or like.

The smoothest path. Install the skill and it builds, publishes, shares and updates apps on your behalf. See Let Claude Code do the publishing.

Paste our instructions into the chat, then describe the app. The reply is one block of code. Save it as a .html file and drag it onto the dashboard. This works with the free tiers of all of them.

What we found

• Small, specific requests work best: one app, one job, named columns.
• Say who will use it and how: "my mum on her phone, she has shaky hands" gets you bigger buttons.
• If the result is wrong, don't fix the code. Ask again with the change you want. Versions make this safe.
