Every good app starts as a half-formed thought in the shower. AppSpark catches it before it's gone. AppSpark is a fast, focused idea catcher for indie makers — app ideas, feature ideas, book and Etsy ideas, the lot. Get it out of your head in seconds, then work out what's actually worth building. CATCH IT ANYWHERE - Fire off an idea with Siri, a Lock Screen or Home Screen widget, or straight from your Apple Watch — you don't even have to open the app. - Tag what it is: new app, app feature, Mac port, Watch companion, book, Book → App, Book → Etsy, market opportunity, or bug fix. TRIAGE THE WINNERS - Everything lands in one inbox. Sort the keepers from the noise and move ideas along a simple pipeline: Spark → Queued → Green-lit. - Add research and notes as an idea firms up. - AppSpark resurfaces ideas that are going stale, so the good ones don't quietly die at the bottom of a list. READY TO BUILD - Green-light an idea and it's ready to flow straight into AppBlueprint to plan and build. AppSpark works perfectly on its own, too — use only the parts you want. FREE AppSpark is now free, with every feature included. No paywall, no subscription, no catch. Your data stays yours — we don't collect it.
