If you can describe it, it can be built.
A grab-bag of real things people have shipped on Hatchable, grouped by who they're for. Use these as a starting point — copy a prompt, tweak it, and see what comes back.
Personal trackers, dashboards, helpers
Stuff that's just for you. A spreadsheet that wishes it were an app. A note-taking habit that wants a real home. The bar to start is low — these are the easiest wins.
A reading log where I can paste a book title, a quick rating, and a few sentences of notes. Show me what I read this year on a single page.
What you get: a private app with a paste form, a list view, and a yearly summary. Ten seconds to add a book, your data is yours.
A workout journal. I do strength training three days a week. Let me log sets and reps and show me how my numbers are trending over time.
What you get: entry form per exercise, history view per movement, a chart per lift. No subscription, no upsells.
A tool that takes my LinkedIn export CSV and turns it into a searchable contact list with notes I can add per person.Uses your AI key
What you get: CSV import, a search box, free-text notes, and AI-summarized highlights per contact (uses your OpenAI/Anthropic key — see AI keys).
Group & family tools
Apps where you and a small handful of invited people share data. The AI builds the login flow, you invite folks by email or handle. Works the same on phones and laptops.
Build me a chore tracker for my kids. Each kid has their own page where they can check off their daily chores. Show me a weekly summary.
What you get: kid view, parent view, daily reset, weekly roll-up. Invite your kids by email — they sign in once, app remembers them.
A book club app. Each month one person picks the book, everyone else adds a rating and one paragraph after they read it. Show all members' notes side by side at meeting time.
What you get: month-by-month structure, per-member entries, a "meeting view" that lays out everyone's notes for discussion.
A potluck planner. I post the date and theme, everyone in our friend group claims a dish so we don't end up with seven salads. Send a reminder the day before.
What you get: dish list with claim buttons, an email reminder schedule, and a "what's still needed" view at the top.
Internal & team tools
The "we keep meaning to build a small thing for the team" category. Customer logs, intake forms, dashboards stitched from different sources. The kind of thing IT never has time for.
A new-customer intake form for my agency. Name, company, what they need help with, a file upload for their brand assets. When they submit, email me and add them to a "leads" view I can mark as won/lost.
What you get: public form on its own URL, file upload, an internal "leads" dashboard only you can access, email on every submission.
A weekly status dashboard. Each team member fills in 3 things on Friday: what shipped, what's blocked, what's next. Show me an aggregate view I can paste into our Monday all-hands.
What you get: per-person form, weekly snapshot view, copy-paste-ready Monday summary. Reminder email Friday at 4pm.
An approval workflow for marketing emails. Drafter pastes a draft, approvers get a click-link "yes / no with notes," I see the status of every draft on one page.Uses your AI key
What you get: draft form, click-link approvals from email (no login needed), AI suggestions for cleanup before send (uses your AI key).
Public sites & landing pages
Marketing sites, portfolios, event pages, simple SaaS landing pages. Anything that needs a real URL and an HTTPS cert, optionally with a custom domain you already own.
A landing page for my consulting practice. About me, three case studies, a contact form that emails me. Match the look of (paste a site you like).
What you get: a real public site at your-name.hatchable.site, point your custom domain at it whenever you're ready.
An event page for our local meetup. Date, location, agenda, speaker bios, RSVP form. Cap RSVPs at 80, show "waitlist" after that.
What you get: event page + RSVP form + waitlist logic + an organizer view of who's coming. Email reminders 48h and 2h before.
A small directory site for indie bookshops in my city. Each shop has a page; visitors can submit a shop and I review before publishing.
What you get: directory home, per-shop pages, public submission form, an internal review queue. Search and filter included.
Things that talk to AI
Anything where the app itself uses AI to do work — summarize text, classify things, draft replies, answer questions about your data. You bring an OpenAI or Anthropic key; Hatchable plugs it in safely.
A meeting-notes summarizer. I paste a transcript, it spits out action items, decisions, and a TL;DR. Save them so I can search later.Uses your AI key
What you get: paste-textarea, AI summary view, archive of past summaries, search across all of them.
A "rewrite this email but warmer" tool. I paste a draft, it gives me three rewrites in different tones. I pick one, copy it, done.Uses your AI key
What you get: the simplest possible UI — paste in, pick a tone, copy out. No accounts needed since it's just for you.
A customer-support reply assistant. I paste the customer's email, it pulls relevant past tickets and drafts a reply in our voice.Uses your AI key
What you get: a paste box, semantic search over past tickets, a draft I can edit before sending. Stays internal — nothing posts on its own.
Multi-tenant apps you can sell or share
An app where each user gets their own data — like a real product. You build it once, and anyone can make their own copy by clicking a button. They bring their own AI key (so you're not paying for their usage). See Sharing & selling for the full story.
A worksheet generator for teachers. They type a topic and a grade level, the app generates a printable worksheet with answer key. Each teacher has their own login and their own saved worksheets.Each user brings their key
What you get: per-teacher accounts, a generation flow, a worksheet library. You publish the template; any teacher makes their own copy.
A brand-monitor tool. Each user picks a brand to track, the app checks the news daily and sends them a digest of mentions.Each user brings their key
What you get: setup wizard per user, scheduled daily checks, email digest. Shareable as a SaaS — every user makes their own copy.
None of these are "demos."
Each one is a real category of app you can ship today. Pick the one closest to your idea, copy the prompt, and start tweaking.
