I built a thing that lets non-coders make their own apps in 10 seconds. People are quietly hooked.

A teacher I know spent £4/month on a classroom timer app she used twice a day. A nurse kept patient handover notes on the back of a printout because no app fit her shift. A bakery owner underquoted a wedding cake by £80 because she did the maths in her head.

Every existing tool does 90% more than they need, charges monthly, or demands learning a new interface.

So I built Shelf.

You type what you want — "countdown timer with a label, rings when done, remembers my last 5 labels" — and it appears on your screen in under 10 seconds. Lives on your computer. Works offline. Saves your data forever. No account. No cloud. No subscription.

The teacher built a random student picker in 20 seconds and has used it every day for a month. The nurse made a shift handover log that survives between shifts. The bakery owner built a quote calculator and saved the recipe for "Lucy's wedding cake" — every ingredient cost still there six weeks later.

None of them know how to code.

The weird part is what happens after. People build one small thing — a habit tracker, a book journal, a grocery price log — and then they build another. And another. They text screenshots to friends. They ask "can it do X?" and the answer is always yes, because the next app is also 10 seconds away.

Here's the deal. The app is free on your computer — generate as many tools as you want, keep them forever, your data never leaves your machine. That part never costs anything.

The paid plan only matters if you want your apps and data to follow you across devices — laptop to phone, work to home. For that, your stuff needs somewhere to live. That's what the lifetime plan covers: £79 once, 1GB of cloud storage, unlimited apps, yours forever. No monthly fee. No renewal.

Founder offer — ends May 31: lifetime drops to £29 (60%+ off). After that, it's £79 forever. No second chance.

If you have ever wanted a tool that does exactly the way you want it — a tracker, a timer, a log, a calculator, a checklist — you can have it tonight. Free version costs nothing. Founder price won't come back.

Try it before your friend sends you a screenshot of theirs.
