I Built a Mobile App Fast With Claude Code. But Speed Isn't the Point.

Build and ship your mobile app with me: 👉 https://kealy.studio Everyone's racing to build mobile apps with AI as fast as possible. But speed is a parlour trick — the real question is whether your app will still be working in three years. In this video I build a bill-splitting app for restaurants (a real pain point living in Spain) using Claude Code, Expo, and a process designed for durability instead of demos. I walk through the three options non-developers have for building mobile apps with AI, why the AI app builder platforms (Lovable, Base44, Rork) hit a wall on mobile, and the actual workflow I use to install an app directly on my phone while Claude Code builds it in real time. This isn't a speed-run. It's the realistic version. 🛠️ Tools used: Claude Code (inside VS Code) Expo + EAS Build Google Stitch (UI design) ChatGPT (logo generation) Canva (logo polish) React Native
