15 real, live products built with Claude Code, picked from our catalogue: why each one matters and what they teach.
Claude Code is Anthropic's coding tool. You tell it what you want in plain English, in your terminal, and it reads and edits the code across your whole project. MissumAI lists 33 live products whose own sources say they were built with it. These are the 15 we think are most worth your time, grouped by what they teach, with the reasons each one made the cut.
How we picked: every product is live, has a first-hand account of Claude Code being used (a founder interview, the founder's own post, or a press piece), and has something you can learn from: revenue anyone can check, an unusually fast build, or a builder you wouldn't expect. We left out entries where the source credits another tool for most of the code. Each card shows the product's current rank on the main leaderboard, which is rebuilt every day, and every fact links to its source.
Most revenue numbers online are screenshots or claims. These three are different: TrustMRR reads their revenue straight from Stripe, so anyone can look it up.[1][4][6]
An AI SEO assistant that reads your Google Search Console data and tells you what to fix, write and optimise.
A small, bootstrapped team in France.[1] In their own account the founders say they "relied heavily on AI" and used Claude "extensively for coding and building out features".[2] The clever part is what they do with the time it saves: they use Claude Code workflows to ship 2 to 4 free "mini SEO tools" a week, each aimed at a small, specific search, and each one sends visitors to the paid app.[2]
See what goes viral on X and why, then write, schedule and engage in one place.
Rob Hallam says Claude Code is what he uses for his AI-assisted coding, at about $200 a month.[3] His advice is to pick one stack and learn it deeply instead of chasing new technologies; his is Next.js, Node.js, Tailwind and SQLite.[3] He grew SuperX on X, using SuperX itself.[3]
Generates faceless short videos for TikTok and YouTube from a text prompt.
StoryShort was already a working business when Samuel Rondot first ran Claude Code on it. His post afterwards:
“I created more features and fixes in 5 hours than in the last 3 months.”
Samuel Rondot on X[5]That's the less-told side of Claude Code: not only brand-new apps, but existing codebases getting unstuck. TrustMRR shows StoryShort at over $590,000 in all-time revenue.[6]
An iPhone alarm that only turns off after you do push-ups.
Jake Glacer trained as an accountant and taught himself to build.[7] His app does one thing: the alarm only turns off after you do push-ups. It took about 19 days from his first commit to the App Store, and he started marketing straight away, with his first influencer video live a week later. In the interview he showed a little over $50,000 in sales for the last 28 days.[7]
Finds class-action settlements you may be owed and helps you file a claim in minutes.
The team says the app "was entirely written using Claude Code and Cursor, not one line of code written by hand", with version 1 shipped in 10 days.[8] It won first place at RevenueCat's Shipaton 2025,[9] and by May 2026 the founders were showing just over $1M in annual recurring revenue.[10] We tell the whole story in How Payout was built.
Tells guitarists exactly how to set their own amp and pedals to sound like any song.
Kyan, a college student, had never built anything before. He built version 1 over Thanksgiving break in about a week, says every line was vibe-coded, and uses Claude Code for all of his code writing.[11] The idea came from his own hobby: he was asking ChatGPT how to make his guitar sound like a song and found it wasn't accurate. His growth plan was just as simple: post three times a day, and when a video format works, keep using it.[11]
Benjamin Chen's process is easy to copy: wireframe and design the screens in Figma, feed the designs to Claude Code in your editor, and have it write the app. He says that usually takes four to five hours for a good app, not counting the backend.[12] He uses Cursor as his editor and Claude Code to write pretty much the whole thing.[12]
An all-in-one AI lifting coach that plans workouts and tracks lifts, nutrition, sleep and supplements.
Six months before his interview, Max Hirsch had never built a mobile app and had "very minimal coding experience". He got a Claude Code membership, "just started typing", and says he hasn't gone a day since without working in his terminal with Claude.[13] His stack is short: Supabase, Vercel, Expo and RevenueCat. He says roughly a third of his revenue comes from people following his journey on X.[13]
Software businesses where Claude Code does the typing
Not only beginners. These teams range from a non-technical founder to engineers with decades of experience, and all of them name Claude Code as part of how they ship.
"Cursor for LinkedIn posts": an AI writer that learns your voice.
Co-founder Cameron Trew lists "Claude Code for development", with Vercel, Inngest and Neon, and sums up the approach as "ship, learn, iterate".[14] The growth came from an audience they already had: Kleo 1.0 had 60,000 users, and the co-founders' combined following helped grow the waitlist. He posted $62K in MRR after 90 days, without ads.[14]
AI marketing tool that makes short-form content and ads for solo builders and brands.
Gaurav calls Claude Code on the 20x Max plan "an absolute must for the speed that we ship at".[15] The best detail: their non-technical co-founder, Jock, built the company's customer intelligence dashboard himself, in plain English, by giving Claude Code access to their data through MCP connections.[15]
AI scriptwriting and channel planning for YouTube creators.
Gil Hildebrand has been coding since he was 15 and says probably 90% of his code is written with Claude Code.[16] The part worth copying happened before he wrote it: a pre-sale of 50 licences that sold out in two or three days and brought in his first $20,000 before the product was built.[16]
Real-time B2B company and people data for AI agents, via API and MCP.
Steven Goh ran Proxycurl, a LinkedIn data API at $10M ARR, until LinkedIn sued; he settled and sold the company. Then he fractured a bone in his foot and, stuck at home with Claude Code, prototyped and launched NinjaPear two weeks later.[17] Six months on, it did over $15,000 in gross revenue in a month.[17]
Growth platform that takes women founders from idea to their first $1M ARR.
Nomiki Petrolla calls herself a non-technical founder, yet she builds every screen of Theanna's frontend with Claude Code and hands it to her engineers to connect the backend.[18] Her method: pull down the engineers' existing code, describe the change in plain English, attach a screenshot of the page, and preview it locally. She says one feature went from two weeks of back-and-forth to under two days.[18]
A manifestation app that turns your goals into visualisations and daily affirmations.
Sarah Pearl says her manifestation app passed $300K in monthly recurring revenue within two months of launch, built with Claude Code, Claude and Google AI Studio.[19] That's her own figure from an interview, so we label it self-reported. Her advice on building is blunt: speed is "the number one ingredient towards success".[19]
Anthropic's desktop agent that works on the files on your computer.
Anthropic's own desktop agent. Claude Code creator Boris Cherny says "pretty much" all of Cowork's code was written with Claude Code, and product manager Felix Rieseberg says the app came together in about a sprint and a half, roughly a week and a half.[20] The Decoder adds that the team had built prototypes beforehand and that the first release was a research preview.[20]
The products are simple. An alarm you switch off with push-ups. A tool that tells guitarists how to set their amp. Benjamin Chen says that when you're starting out you'll probably build single-use-case apps, and that's perfectly fine.[12]
The stacks are boring on purpose. Supabase, Vercel, Expo and RevenueCat for Maxed AI;[13] Firebase for Erly;[7] Next.js, Node.js and SQLite for SuperX;[3] Vercel, Inngest and Neon for Kleo.[14] Claude Code writes the code, but on well-known tools.
Distribution decided the outcome. Kyan posted three times a day.[11] Max credits X with about a third of his revenue.[13] Kleo launched to an existing user base and audience.[14] Gil sold the product before building it.[16] The build got faster; getting noticed didn't.
The builders are all over the map. A student who had never built anything,[11] a lifter with minimal coding experience,[13] two non-technical founders,[18][15] and an engineer with 20+ years behind the keyboard.[17]
Lessons for your own build
01
Show it, don't just tell it
Theanna's founder attaches a screenshot to plain-English requests;[18] Snag's founder feeds finished Figma designs straight in.[12]
02
Ship version 1 in weeks
About 19 days for Erly,[7] about a week for ToneAdapt,[11] two weeks for NinjaPear.[17] Then learn from real users.
03
Point it at code you already have
StoryShort's five-hour sprint was on an existing codebase,[5] and Theanna builds inside the engineers' own repositories.[18]
04
Spend the saved time on growth
ChatSEO turns spare build time into free mini tools that bring in search traffic.[2] Erly started marketing straight after launch.[7]
