Reece Chown
Indie apps, built by a team of AI agents. Owned by me, recursively.
I run a 20+ app studio from the UK. An AI project manager keeps it moving, agents build and test, and I approve the big calls from my phone.

What I'm building
Ten apps you can use today, on iPhone, iPad, Android, the Mac and the web, plus one in beta. They come from Flavr Apps, my studio.

02 cat ./how.md
A studio run by agents
An AI project manager runs my portfolio of 20+ apps. It reads the board, briefs specialist agents and keeps everything moving. I make the calls that matter, usually in a few taps on my phone.
-
The PM checks in
Every few hours the AI project manager reads the board: what's live, what's stuck and what's waiting on me.
-
Specialists get the work
Each job goes to an agent with a tight brief, its own branch and its own copy of the code. Design, engineering, store listings, QA.
-
Agents prove it
Local builds, tests, simulator and real-device checks, and screenshots at every screen width. Nothing gets compiled in someone else's cloud.
-
Risky steps wait for me
Deploys, store submissions, spending and anything public become one decision card on my phone, with the exact plan and a rollback.
-
I tap approve
An agent runs it, checks it live and logs the evidence. Then on to the next one.
Who can do what
rwxGreen- Code, tests, local builds, QA and drafts. Agents just do it, then report.
rw-Amber- Deploys, store submissions, DNS, spending, posting. Prepared in full, asked once.
r--Red- Legal, deleting data, force pushes. Mine alone.
03 ls ~/bench
Tinkering
When the agents are busy, I'm at the bench: hardware, repairs, and finding out what AI can really do.
-
hw/
Soldering and repairs
Batteries, ports, boards and cables. Open it up, find the fault, make it work again.
-
ai/test
AI testing
Putting models and agent harnesses through real work, local models on a Mac Studio included, to see where they shine and where they break.
-
ai/build
AI builds
Tools for the agents themselves: briefs, guardrails, decision queues and QA rigs that let them work while I'm away.
