10 Unknown Apps Making $50K+ MRR (Copy Them)

By Greg Isenberg

Summary

## Key takeaways - **50K MRR App Framework**: Find a group that (1) spends money, (2) has a repeating problem, (3) uses photos/videos as inputs, (4) cares about accuracy, and (5) has bad existing tools. If they check all five boxes, you might be sitting on a 50K MRR mobile app idea, like vinyl collectors. [25:27], [25:47] - **Start with a Nerve**: Apps start with a nerve: niche with identity, urgency, stakes, and repetition like collectors or churchgoers. If the niche has all four, AI can eat it. [27:34], [28:02] - **One Job Brutally Well**: Every app does one job brutally well: tell me what this is worth, what to buy next, or summarize this listing. The next 50K MRR app is one job times one obsessed group times one recurring need. [28:35], [28:52] - **High-Intent Input Pipeline**: Build around a single high-intent input like photo, address, or item that AI turns into premium insight via simple interface and recurring loop to hit 50K MRR. [29:10], [31:01] - **Vinyl Snap's Collector Magic**: Vinyl Snap scans records for accurate pricing because collectors constantly buy/sell/trade, pricing manually is slow/confusing, and a single scan gives value/rarity. [12:06], [13:24] - **AI Visualizations Crush Uncertainty**: AI home decor app does 100K revenue/month because people hate guessing what a room could look like; AI unlocks visualization making design decisions safe, fast, fun.

In this episode, I go through eight companies that you've never heard of that are making at least $50,000 a month on mobile apps. Now is the greatest time

to be building mobile apps. And there

are people printing doing it. I go

through exactly how how are these apps able to make so much money and how can you copy what they're doing it and apply it to another niche. I give you tons of

startup ideas in this episode, but my favorite part is actually going through six frameworks that I have for coming up with mobile app ideas. If this video

gets a few thousand likes, I will share the excaladraw that I shared in this episode. So, stop what you're doing,

episode. So, stop what you're doing, like and comment and I'll share it with you.

I saw this tweet. It said, "Here are the 10 apps released in the last 180 days making $50,000 per month." So, today we're going to go actually break down

each of these apps and we're going to try to basically reverse engineer how are these mobile apps that are basically coming out of nowhere that people are vibe coding. How are they able to crush

vibe coding. How are they able to crush it? I'm going to give you a bunch of

it? I'm going to give you a bunch of frameworks uh towards the end of this episode. Actually, first what we're

episode. Actually, first what we're going to do is we're going to go through each and every one of these apps. We're

going to really try to understand it.

Then what we're going to do is uh I'm going to give you a framework and actually a bunch of frameworks for how you can come up with your own mobile app ideas and how you can spot these things.

I'm and then at the end I'm going to give you even more startup ideas and just hand this to you in a silver platter because I want you to go and

vibe code a mobile app in 2026 that's going to make you money. And I think that if you can look at some of these, it's going to it's going to get you inspired. It's going to get those

inspired. It's going to get those creative juices flowing. So, let's get right into it. The first app is an app called Flash Loop. It's an AI video generator. You can see here, uh, I'm

generator. You can see here, uh, I'm sure you've seen those, uh, those like Tik Toks and reals where it's like babies doing podcasts and stuff like that. It's basically one of those things

that. It's basically one of those things where it's an AI video generator. If you

look at the description, uh, it says generate epic AI videos from text or images in seconds. It's powered by VO3 in Sora 2. So, um, you know, just

breaking down why is this thing working?

Why is this thing able to get, you know, $50,000 a month in revenue? It's gotten

50,000 downloads worldwide in the last 30 days as well. Um, it's just because the the vanity of it all, right? People

want to see themselves in uh in characters. This is, you know, a tale as

characters. This is, you know, a tale as old as time. You can see here female Shrek ballerina cappuccina like

Barbie doll stuff. um you know these things get shared a lot and es especially on Tik Tok right so h how can you take this idea and build it for yourself like why don't you go build

this for pets why don't you go build this for cosplay why don't you go build this for you know weight loss aging outfits you can take the same framework for an AI video generator and just apply

it to these other niches so that's number one number two is the Bible notation maker and recording app that has gotten $60,000

and revenue in the last uh 30 days.

60,000 downloads as well. So, what is it? Basically, it captures every sermon

it? Basically, it captures every sermon and prayer. So, you can do press one tap

and prayer. So, you can do press one tap and it records the moment. It gives you transcriptions, smart summaries. Um, you

know, it's basically a sermon note-taking tool. Uh, there's also like

note-taking tool. Uh, there's also like a daily Bible devotions and prayer section. um super like cleanly designed

section. um super like cleanly designed I will say too and uh this is a trend that's been picking up over the last you know six to nine months is uh lock

screen they've got a lock screen widget which uh I think they did a really good job at add daily versus to your lock screen so um you know and you can see

they have a year subscription and a week subscription so why is this working well you know you have churchgoers and you know billion plus uh you know Christians

all over the world uh who are going to church and you've got this built-in cadence right they're going you know either daily or they're going on Sundays and they've got this strong desire to

capture remember and reflect uh notes verses prayers and sermons are high intent content people don't want to lose these are very special uh you know

pieces of content um and why it works is you know people identify obviously uh you know with the religion and there's the ritual piece and repetition. So, how

can you apply this to a different niche?

Well, therapy sessions, you know, AA, Alcoholics Anonymous, um you know, doing recovery notes, um you know, different religions, the

Muslim Muslim uh faith, mosque sermons, uh the Jewish religion, Torah study groups, meditation journals, marriage counseling notes. These are just a few

counseling notes. These are just a few to get your creative juices flowing that I think uh you know this format would work really well in. Sam Alman, the

co-founder of OpenAI just said that it is the era of the idea guy and he is not wrong. I think that right now is an

wrong. I think that right now is an incredible time to be building a startup and if you listen to this podcast, chances are you think so too. Now, I

think that you can look at trends uh to basically figure out uh what are the startup ideas you should be building.

So, that's exactly why I built ideabser.com. Every single day, you're

ideabser.com. Every single day, you're going to get a free startup idea in your inbox and it's all backed by highquality

data trends. How we do it, people always

data trends. How we do it, people always ask. We use AI agents to go and search

ask. We use AI agents to go and search what are people looking for and what are they screaming for in terms of products that you should be building and then we hand it on a you know silver platter for

you to go check out. Um, we do have a few paid plans that, you know, take it to the next level. Uh, give you more ideas, give you more AI agents and more almost like a chat GBT for ideas with

it, but you can start for free ideabrowser.com. And if you're listening

ideabrowser.com. And if you're listening to this, I highly recommend it. The

third app we're going to go through is the AI home decor interior design app.

Uh, it's gotten 100,000 downloads in the last month. It's done 100,000 in revenue

last month. It's done 100,000 in revenue last month. So, it's an AI interior

last month. So, it's an AI interior designer. You can see it here. Um, and

designer. You can see it here. Um, and

you can change this the room style easily. You can redesign your house,

easily. You can redesign your house, your apartment, uh change the floors.

Basically, using AI to change the aesthetic uh interior of your house or apartment. If you go to the uh

apartment. If you go to the uh description, what you can see is AI at home decor helps you redesign interiors and exteriors in seconds. You upload a photo, you choose a style, and you get

stunning makeovers for rooms, gardens, and more powered by by AI. Of course,

there's that premium for full access.

And they've got weekly, monthly, and yearly plans.

So, why does this work? Well, you know, this is going to sound obvious, but people hate guessing what a room, a garden, exterior could look like, and AI finally allows you to unlock that. So

the visualization removes the uncertainty and makes design decisions feel safe, fast, and fun. So it solves this whole idea of I can't picture it.

We've all had that, right? Um I'm I'm trying to like redo some of my office in here and I literally can't figure out which chairs to buy cuz I need to like

picture it. Um so you know, someone like

picture it. Um so you know, someone like me would actually download this. Um it's

a problem which exists in every home for every project forever. Um okay well where can we use this format for? We

know it already exists. Uh is we know it's already working here. So what about for landscaping? What about this idea

for landscaping? What about this idea for RV and camper interiors? What about

for office layout specifically for commercial? What about for retail store

commercial? What about for retail store place uh displays? What about for Airbnb staging? Uh what about for backyard and

staging? Uh what about for backyard and patio design? What about for gym and

patio design? What about for gym and garage transformations? It's pretty much

garage transformations? It's pretty much endless. Uh this is like a pretty

endless. Uh this is like a pretty horizontal app, meaning it could work for so many different use cases and residential, but there's just so many

niches that you can go after. Uh so, no surprise why this is crushing it. The

next app is an app called Moji Lab. It's

done 100,000 downloads in the last 30 days and it's done $100,000 of revenue in the last month. Uh so when you look at the app store screenshots which are

so busy and look like Christmas ornaments uh just like insane but uh like so bright um you know but obviously

it's working for them. You can see 3,000 plus stickers more fun create unlimited stickers and sticker packs. Basically,

it's a sticker um a sticker pack company. Um and you get, you know,

company. Um and you get, you know, different stickers and it says here, "Emoji Lab is an all-around emoji tools that adds fun to your chats, popular memes, cute peter, uh stickers, you

know, we have them ready for you.

Support DIY production, personalized group management, etc., etc." So, um, these, you know, memes and sticker and gift, uh, companies have been around for

a while, but, um, you know, now that it's so much easier to create them with AI, uh, you know, you it's just there's a lot of opportunity to, I guess, have a

little more fun with it. So, you know, why is this working? Well, people want endless ways to express mood, humor, and personality across chats. um and high frequency message mean messaging is high

frequency usage right this is a product that a lot of people would use the freshness matters so the constant new sticker meme pack packs keep retention high and if you're using AI to create

some of those things uh keeps the cost down so why does you know something like this work you know the identity the expression of volume but where else could you take this you know take this

idea and how can you apply it to it sports fans packs right this just for sports um is interesting.

Citybased packs, you know, I'm from uh originally I'm from Montreal, Canada. It's like, oh, give me

Montreal, Canada. It's like, oh, give me give me all the stickers for all the different neighborhoods, you know? Um

why not just I know them in my head, right? like,

right? like, you know, Notreamam Deg Grass, the the West Island, like having these, you know, sticker packs that are just, you know, maybe I'd install that and with my

high school buddies, I'd be posting on it, right? Cultural and holiday holiday

it, right? Cultural and holiday holiday expression packs. Uh, we saw, you know,

expression packs. Uh, we saw, you know, you know, the the Bible app, the Christian app, you know, is crushing it.

Like, what is this just for Christians?

What is this just for Muslims, etc.? So,

um, this was an interesting one. Um, I

don't think it's my favorite on the list, but, um, just because it doesn't feel as like a huge pain point like the interior, uh, design one

to me, for example, like feels like more of a pain point, but, you know, still think that there's opportunity here. The

next one, uh, I was actually shocked to see like how much revenue this was created, but then it like it made sense to me. This is called Vinyl Snap. Um,

to me. This is called Vinyl Snap. Um,

it's for vinyl records. It's done 70,000 downloads in the last month, $70,000 of revenue in the last month as well. So,

it's an app that basically uh helps you figure out what your vinyls are worth.

So, it gives you an accurate price. You

scan your vinyl and you learn, you know, learn about what the value is. uh you

know based on also you say it if it's you know mint condition or what's you know is the sleeve condition good. So uh

if you go to their description it just you know the big value ad is reliable market valuation. You know get a trusted

market valuation. You know get a trusted reference before you buy, sell or store.

Know if you found a $10 album or $1,000 treasure. So why does this work? Well,

treasure. So why does this work? Well,

it's it's a mix of nostalgia. Like I

never grew up uh collecting vinyls, but like in my parents' generation they did.

And to that, you know, to them it's like, you know, it's nostalgia, right?

Um and the financial stakes, right? Like

maybe they've kept uh a vinyl and all of a sudden, you know, who knows? Maybe

it's worth $10,000. So, um uh collections and collectors like this is becoming more and more big. uh you know, you're seeing it with like I saw the

article that Pokemon has outperformed the S&P over the last like 15 years.

Like people want to collect things. Um

so collectors are constantly buying and selling and trading records. They're

pricing them manually. It's slow and confusing. If only you had a single scan

confusing. If only you had a single scan that gives conditions, value, and rarity. High intent, high frequency

rarity. High intent, high frequency behavior is another reason why this works, right? Some people have literally

works, right? Some people have literally hundreds or thousands of records. So

where else can you apply this format?

Well, use books, comic books, sports cards, toys, vintage clothing, signed merchandise. There's so much in this

merchandise. There's so much in this whole collectibles industry where you can just scan, identify, and manage your collections. Um, let's go on to the next

collections. Um, let's go on to the next one. So, this one's actually a little

one. So, this one's actually a little different than u the ones that we've seen. So, it's called Janora AI. It's

seen. So, it's called Janora AI. It's

gotten 300,000 downloads in the last month. I've ne I'd never heard about

month. I've ne I'd never heard about this company until doing this research.

Um, it's gotten $300,000 of revenue in the last 30 days. Well, what is it? Um,

it basically is a app that brings together uh, you know, GPT, Deepcode, all the different LLM models in one

place. Um, so that you don't have to

place. Um, so that you don't have to download multiple apps. That's basically

what it is. Um, when you go to the description, you know, it says, you know, it's a next generation AI assistant that seamlessly combines conversational intelligence with real-time search. Um, you can choose for

real-time search. Um, you can choose for some of the world's smartest models, GPT, 40, Mini, 40, 03, Gemini 2.5, Flash. The craziest thing is all the,

Flash. The craziest thing is all the, you know, these models are not the state-of-the-art models. So, they're

state-of-the-art models. So, they're actually using like old models, putting it together. Um, but you know, they're

it together. Um, but you know, they're selling it to people who probably don't know, you know, and uh I kind of hate that about this, right? Like this is not

the best product, right? Like the best product is the one that has the most up-to-date model. So, um, you know, I

up-to-date model. So, um, you know, I think that I hate this. I hate that it it does that. So if you know, let's just talk about why it works and let's just talk about how we can learn from this

and apply it for a business idea that maybe someone listening can actually go and build and hopefully make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. So why

does this work? Well, it becomes that if they, you know, the default assistant on someone's phone, if they're positioning themselves as like, hey, you know, you don't want a million different LLM, so go to come to this simple place and

you'll get it done. Most users don't want five different AI apps. actually

they want one place to ask questions, generate media, summarize PDFs, analyze images, and search the web. Bundling

creates daily usage and stickiness. So,

think when you're, you know, when you're coming up with ideas for some of these apps, where can you bundle some some services and put it in one place? So,

where else? Well, student research co-pilots, sales and CRM co-pilots, investing and trading co-pilots, teacher lesson planning assistance, legal and

medical document, you know, tools.

There's, you know, a bunch of workflows that you can stitch together a bunch of models, bundle them all up, and create, you know, a niche app

uh what are they calling it? Genora.

Jora. and it's just like, hey, we're the best app for XYZ niche, students, uh, legal, etc. Um, and there's probably a

lot of opportunity there. Okay, we got a few more that we want to go to. Uh, the

next app is called Logo Maker. Um, not

exactly the most, uh, you know, best name, but it works, right? um 100,000

downloads and $200,000 of revenue just in the last month. What

is it? Well, it just helps you create logos uh from Prompt. You just prompt and in a few seconds you get a logo in a few formats. Super super simple app. Uh

few formats. Super super simple app. Uh

they charge $6.99 per week. So quite expensive. Um or $40

per week. So quite expensive. Um or $40 a year. So why does this work? Well, you

a year. So why does this work? Well, you

know, if you're starting a new business uh or a new project uh or a new feature even for some, you know, for something, uh you might just, you know, you need

something like this and you might not want to hire someone for thousands of dollars. So, there's the constant new

dollars. So, there's the constant new business demand. Um but where else could

business demand. Um but where else could this work? Well, thumbnails, YouTube

this work? Well, thumbnails, YouTube thumbnails, packaging, poster and flyer generators, podcast cover arts, brand kits, YouTube intro graphics. There's so

much demand for creative assets. This is

just, you know, what's interesting about this is these these people are making $200,000 a month. Uh just focused on logos. But, you know, go search on on

logos. But, you know, go search on on the app store and see like what what you know what can you own, right? What is

there an opportunity to do? And and you do have to do the hard work around finding what that thing is. Um, but I do think that there's a bunch of opportunity in creative assets, uh, and

and just focusing on one like I think actually one of the reasons why this works is it's such a simple name, right?

Logo maker. So, it's it's it's sort of relying on ASO, app store optimization, where, you know, people are going into their app store and they're they're writing logo maker or I need a logo or

AI logo and they're coming up.

We've got a uh I think three yeah three more apps and then we're going to go uh shift to the frameworks which I think are some of the most uh you know

interesting part uh to discuss. Um so

the menu this one's called menu fit. Uh

it's done 30,000 downloads but it's done $60,000 of revenue. So it it sort of brands itself as the number one app for eating out healthy. Uh, it says your favorite restaurants, your goals and

meals. Uh, and there's like an AI

meals. Uh, and there's like an AI assistant which you can ask about any menu item in real time. Um, and it's got every single restaurant in the world.

When you go to the description, it says, "We're the number one app for eating out healthy. Know exactly what to order at

healthy. Know exactly what to order at any restaurant based on your likings and goals." So, it really takes, you know,

goals." So, it really takes, you know, the the menu to the next level, right?

It says, "Discover the best meal for your goals. scan any restaurant to get

your goals. scan any restaurant to get any uh to get instant recommendations and you can instantly find what to order and what to avoid. So um sort of

interesting um I think why it works is people eat out constantly huge business but they want to stay healthy and they hate decoding confusing restaurant menus. Not every restaurant menu has you

menus. Not every restaurant menu has you know the fat content and how many calories it has. So, it turns a stressful decision, what can I order here that won't blow my goals into a quick, confident choice. So, it's used

every time they sit down to eat. Where

else can you apply this to? Bar menus,

airport food courts, hotel room service, school cafeterias, sports stadiums, cruise ships, meal delivery, and meal kit apps. I think uh they're on to

kit apps. I think uh they're on to something here. Um, I think that the

something here. Um, I think that the idea that you can just, you know, have an AI chat there, you can scan any restaurant, you get instant recommendations. Um, and it's sort of

recommendations. Um, and it's sort of speaking to the people who are who wanted to eat more clean. Um, I think, uh, I'm no surprise that, um, that

they're doing well here.

The next app we're going to talk about is called Lang Lang Learn. It's an AI English tutor and it is absolutely slaying. It's done 200,000 downloads in

slaying. It's done 200,000 downloads in the last 30 days. Son $300,000

of revenue in the last 30 days. So, how

does it work? Look, let's just look at the uh app store screenshots. Just speak

AI quick. Uh personal AI language tutor, instant AI feedback, practice real life conversations. That's pretty cool,

conversations. That's pretty cool, right? like you're basically having a

right? like you're basically having a conversation with this like virtual person and uh they're not judging you.

They're not judging you. They're just

trying to help you, right? Trying to

help you learn. So, um you know, we know how big of a business Duolingo is.

Multiple billion dollar business. Uh but

I think if Dolingo were to start today, it might look something more like this.

So, why does this work? Well, huge

global demand to speak better English, but most learners are shy, busy, or can't afford a live tutor. Practicing

with an AI gives instant corrections in real life scenarios that removes embarrassment and fits into short daily sessions which drives habit and subscription. Okay, so it's crushing it.

subscription. Okay, so it's crushing it.

Where else can we apply this idea to?

Spanish, Chinese, um, you know, business English is like might be different than just English, right? If you just focus on business English and maybe you own

that term in in in ASO interview prep, customer support scripts, pronunciation and accent coaching, medical and legal English for for professionals. There is

just so much opportunity here and you never know like maybe you do get acquired by a Duallingingo. So not only you're creating cash flow but you know you're you know creating enterprise

value that you might be able to sell. So

I like this one a lot. Uh the last one we're going to talk about uh is called Zozopit 3D body scanner. It's done

40,000 downloads in the last 30 days.

It's on 40,000 uh in revenue in the last month. Uh so you know they've gotten

month. Uh so you know they've gotten over 2 million body scans. So you

basically like scan your body 360°.

Um you can see here you identify areas of growth or reduction in color. So this

is like color metric. Um, but basically it's, you know, smarter tracking for impactful changes, precise body measurements, and AI powered nutrition tracking all in one place. Zozo Fit

provides you with your very own digital toolbox that allows you to revolutionize your personal fitness journey by monitoring weight loss, tracking your body transformation, and logging your diet. I just think that the idea of that

diet. I just think that the idea of that it's in 3D um, and you can see it is really interesting. I had never seen

really interesting. I had never seen this before. And they do have some sort

this before. And they do have some sort of Apple Watch integration which which I think is interesting as well. Um so why does this work? Well, you know, people care more about how their body is

changing than the number on the scale.

True. And tape measure tracking is annoying and inconsistent. And like not a lot of people want to do that. A

visual 3D scan that shows precise measurements and progress over time makes fitness efforts feel tangible and addictive to track. So, where else can we apply this like 3D scan? Uh, right.

That's that that's the big question.

Well, what about posture and rehab tracking? What about remote coaching

tracking? What about remote coaching check-ins? What about tailoring and

check-ins? What about tailoring and sizing for clothing and and ath athleisure? What about cosplay and

athleisure? What about cosplay and costume fitting? What about pre and

costume fitting? What about pre and postsurgery body tracking? Huge, huge

opportunity. So, I think uh they're on to something with the 3D thing. Um, and

clearly, you know, they're they're they're not they're doing the least amount of revenue on here, but um, I think that they've got room to grow.

And, um, I I also feel like, you know, the name matters so much. The name

matters so much. And Zozopit just I I think that, you know, in this list, it's one of the wor one of the worst names here. would have leaned into like

names here. would have leaned into like the 3D like why not call themselves 3D scan 3D nutrition scan something like that. Um so when you're coming up with

that. Um so when you're coming up with an you know name for for whatever it is you're working on make sure that you have you know could get good ASO there

cuz that'll be important. All right. So,

when you go through all these ideas, I was trying to think like, okay, what are how can I give you guys a like frameworks to basically repeat all this

stuff, right? Um, well, the biggest

stuff, right? Um, well, the biggest framework I have here, I called it the Greg's 50K MR app app framework, is find

a group that one spends money, two has a repeating problem, three uses photos and videos as inputs. We've seen how important that is. Four cares about

accuracy, and five had has bad existing tools. If they check all five boxes, you

tools. If they check all five boxes, you might be sitting on a 50k MR mobile app idea. So, like when you know, think

idea. So, like when you know, think about the vinyl, you know, the vinyl record idea, right? Targeting older

people who spend money. Uh, well,

because they have more money, they had more time to compound, right? Uh, the a the average 65-year-old just has more money than the average 19-year-old,

right? Has a repeating problem. Uh, they

right? Has a repeating problem. Uh, they

want to know how much their vinyls are worth. Uses photos and videos as input.

worth. Uses photos and videos as input.

You take a photo of the vinyl and it tells you. cares about accuracy. Of

tells you. cares about accuracy. Of

course, I care about accuracy because the difference between uh you know accuracy could be thousands of dollars.

Has big bad existing tools. The existing

tools is literally I need to get into my car potentially drive to if I'm lucky have it in my city but sometimes not in my city. Have to go to another city and

my city. Have to go to another city and basically say hey will you buy this record from me? So this is I want you to like internalize these uh this this

framework. I know it is simple and

framework. I know it is simple and someone listening might be like, "Oh, it's too simple. He's saying it's easy."

I'm not saying it's easy. I'm making it simple so that you can and I'm oversimplifying it because this is the core part of what makes a great app. It

really is just this uh now finding you know, of course, you need to find the right niche. You have to build the right

right niche. You have to build the right app. The UI needs to be really good. The

app. The UI needs to be really good. The

experience needs to be easy. uh and

we're going to talk about more frameworks to help you you know build that app that has the highest probability of su probability of

success. So I have 1 2 3 4 5 six more

success. So I have 1 2 3 4 5 six more frameworks that uh I came after going through all these app came up with after going through all these apps that I

think are going to help you when you're coming up with an idea for your app. So

all these apps started with a nerve. Uh

what I mean by that uh is they didn't start with a market. Uh the niche that they uh that you know a niche works when it has an identity. It had you know

collectors or professionals uh churchgoers.

Urgency I need an answer now. Stakes

money reputation time and repetition.

Same job to be done weekly and daily. If

the niche has all four, AI can eat it and AI app can eat it. So the question that you should be asking yourself is who has a repetitive pain that they'd

pay to make disappear. So you want to start, that's why I say start with a nerve. You want to start with the pain

nerve. You want to start with the pain point. Um and you want to focus on the

point. Um and you want to focus on the niche with identity, urgency, stakes, and repetition. And if you have four,

and repetition. And if you have four, good chance that you have that nerve.

The second framework um is the you know solve one job that always must be done framework. Every app on this uh Excala

framework. Every app on this uh Excala draw does one job brutally well. So tell

me what this is worth. Tell me what to buy next. Summarize this listing for me.

buy next. Summarize this listing for me.

Restore this image instantly. Scan this

object and identify it now. So the next 50k MRR app in my opinion is one job times one obsessed group times one recurring need.

The third framework is build around a single high intent input. So a lot of these apps have uh have succeeded because the input is extremely high

signal. It's a photo, it's an address,

signal. It's a photo, it's an address, it's an item, it's a collectible, a logo idea, a prompt, a plant, a room. The

point is the high intent inputs usually lead to higher conversion. If the if the input is naturally harder to interpret,

um the AI creates, you know, instant value, right? Uh the next the next uh

value, right? Uh the next the next uh framework I want to talk about is using AI to unlock a premium insight. So uh AI is the engine, right? The product is the

insight you unlocked, right? So examples

might be the price into worth, the photo into diagnos, diagnosis, the listing into a summary in and forecast, the object goes into an you know an

identity, the room we saw goes into a design plan, artifact into an appraisal.

So the question you know to ask ourselves is what is the premium insight that AI can unlock instantly that used to take time and expertise.

The sixth framework is how do you wrap it in a simple desirable interface. A

lot of these uh apps that I showed are like brutally stupid simple. They're one

screen, one button, one transformation.

And that's a part of the reason why it's working. So, uh you might want to

working. So, uh you might want to screenshot this uh if you're on YouTube or if you're on audio Spotify and Apple, you can, you know, go to YouTube and

screenshot this. Um but it's basically

screenshot this. Um but it's basically uh sort of a summarizing uh you know high intent a lot a lot of the frameworks here basically so you know

that you need the high intent input this is basically a framework for coming up with mobile app ideas that help you get to 50 that get to 50k a month you know high intent input photo video address

goes into the AI premium insight goes into the simple interface goes into recurring behavior loop you you target your audience here and then hopefully

you get the 50k MR. So these are just frameworks to help you um help you make sure that the the idea

that you're working on has what it takes to to go viral to hit 50K or more.

Before we um before we ended, I want to give a few just like three or four startup ideas. I know I gave you a ton,

startup ideas. I know I gave you a ton, but I'm going to give you a few more. Um

and then we can we can you know and and the podcast. So, uh I this is just a

the podcast. So, uh I this is just a request for someone should build these things because these are things I've been thinking about the AI golf swing

coach app. So, uh, you know, I I

coach app. So, uh, you know, I I actually recently got some lessons at like a golf simulation, um,

you know, company, like they it helps you learn to to do golf swings and stuff like that. And the place is packed. But

like that. And the place is packed. But

with AI now, you can just do, you know, vid a video with biome mechanical corrections. like you can just use your

corrections. like you can just use your uh your phone and it it'll tell you what to do. Someone go build that. The AI

to do. Someone go build that. The AI

auction strategist photo expected bid range and strategy, right? Um number

three, an AI closet stylist. Photo of

clothes, tell me my outfits, resale pricing, purge guidance, the pet health scanner, photo and video is the input,

early issue detection and care guidance.

Uh, garden plant doctor photo of like, you know, a brown leaf, disease fix, and seasonal reminders. Use car analyzer,

seasonal reminders. Use car analyzer, VIN and photos, give me repair risk, price comps, and negotiation script.

Let's do one more. RV and van life, uh, layout designer, interior photo, optimize layout, and shopping list. So,

there you have it. I know that was a lot uh to digest, but um I believe that, you know, 2026 is an incredible time to be building mobile

apps. I'm certainly building mobile apps

apps. I'm certainly building mobile apps in 2026. This is how I'm thinking about

in 2026. This is how I'm thinking about it and I wanted to share it with you. Um

I hope this has been helpful. If it has, please, please do share this with a friend. Um, it's way more fun to be

friend. Um, it's way more fun to be building with a friend. And um, yeah, and let me know if I I should be doing

more of these. Um, I enjoyed sharing this with you and uh, you know, hope you have a really creative day and I can't wait to see what you build. I'm

absolutely rooting for you. Um, and I'll see you next time.
