The ThriveMom Playbook
Put your app in the App Store.
I have ADHD, and I shipped one while raising three kids. Not a demo: a real product, with paying customers. Six lessons, and the exact method is yours.
Live in the Apple App Store Lifestyle & Productivity Real product, paying customers
The proof, not a promise
A real product, not a demo.
ThriveMom by ThriveMom LLC is live in the Apple App Store and as a web app at thrivemom.pro, with paying customers. Every lesson is a real decision from that launch.
Why me
If you can write a prompt, you can ship an app.
I'm Heidi. I have ADHD, and I built ThriveMom with Claude while raising three kids. Same constraints you have.
Most courses teach a demo built for the camera. I'm walking you through a real launch: every decision, every tradeoff, the method written down.
That's the thing for sale. Not the app. The way it got made.
What you get
Six lessons, one real launch.
The exact path I took ThriveMom from a rejected chatbot to live in the App Store, one real step at a time. Watch in order, or jump to the one that unblocks you today.
- Why I built ThriveMom Why I started building software when I wasn’t a developer. How a rejection from Meta turned into an approval from Apple. And why the app you end up launching is almost never the app you set out to build.
- The tools I actually used The AI tools I used for a year before building ThriveMom, and what each one is actually good for. Why Cursor was different. And why I started practicing with a friend’s website before building my own app.
- How Claude built the first feature How I built Chaos Catcher, ThriveMom’s first feature, inside Cursor with Claude. How I organized the project files so Claude worked faster and cheaper. And how to write prompts that produce code that actually works, not just code that looks like it works.
- The day I almost exposed my users’ data Why I tried three different sign-in methods before finding the right one. How Claude found a security problem I hadn’t noticed. And why I pushed back the app launch by a week when I discovered what was wrong.
- How I set up payments before the first customer How I decided ThriveMom’s price. Why you need two different payment systems (Stripe for web, RevenueCat for iPhone) and how to avoid getting rejected by Apple for mixing them. Why I set up payments before I had a single paying user. And the specific places RevenueCat made me lose entire days, so you don’t lose yours.
- The 5:57 AM approval and the business question What happened the morning my app finally landed on the App Store. Why approval wasn’t the end, but the start of a harder question. And the question I had to answer honestly, the one you’ll face too: what is this app, really, for you?

Before you decide
Three honest answers.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You write prompts. Claude writes the code. You read it, approve it, ship it. By the end you understand the stack well enough to hire or direct a developer, but you never have to write it yourself.
How long until I ship?
The cohort runs four weeks. Most cohort buyers ship a beta by week six and a paid version by week eight. Self-study moves at your pace.
What stack do you teach?
The same one ThriveMom runs on: Cursor with Claude for building, plus ChatGPT and Gemini for design and research. Supabase for accounts and data, Stripe on the web, RevenueCat for iPhone payments, and Resend for email. The patterns transfer if you use a different stack.
Mine is live.
Yours is next.
Cohort $497, self-study $297. Founding seats $397 and $197 for the first few. Cohort starts July 5.
