Kotlin Multiplatform is the next big thing. I built KMPShip to help you launch faster.
Hey Indie Hackers 👋
I’m Vivien, a solo dev from the south of France. I’ve been building mobile apps for about 15 years, and in late 2023, I left my 9-5 to go all-in on the indie hacker journey.
Like a lot of devs, I kept coming up with ideas for apps. But every time I wanted to start building, I ran into the same problem: setup. Setting up Firebase auth, handling navigation, building UI components, architecture, adding subscriptions & in-app purchases, push notifications, analytics... It always took way too much time before I could even focus on the actual product.
So I built KMPShip, the #1 production-ready boilerplate for Kotlin Multiplatform that helps you build Android and iOS apps from a single codebase, without spending days on setup.
It handles the boring stuff for you:
Google/Apple/email auth
Subscriptions & in-app purchases (with RevenueCat)
Local & push notifications
Built-in UI components and theming (with Compose Multiplatform)
Clean architecture, MVVM, DI (Koin), offline mode, CI/CD, and more
You can literally go from idea to a store-ready app in a few days.
KMPShip is a paid product, but I've kept pricing indie-friendly. There’s a sample app included, plus private Discord access and lifetime updates (depending on your plan).
I’m a huge fan of Kotlin Multiplatform. I truly believe in its success. It’s already gaining traction in the crossplatform market, and I’m confident it will sit at the table with React Native and Flutter very soon. I built KMPShip not just for others, but because I believe KMP is the future and I want to help accelerate its adoption.
I launched it recently and I’m now trying to get the word out. If you're building mobile apps, or thinking about it, I’d love to hear what you think.
