Idea to App · a free tool

You bring the idea.
I'll write the prompt that builds it.

Justine Bevilacqua

Got an idea for an app, a tool, or a little website, but no clue where to start? Tell me what it is and the problem it solves. I'll hand you the exact prompt to paste into Lovable (an AI that builds it for you, no code). You could have something real today.

You don't need to be technical. You need to be clear. That part you can do.

Pick the closest. It changes how I write the prompt.

The important one. Not the app, the problem. What's annoying you enough to build a fix? (e.g. "I can never see where my money goes between paydays.")

Just you is a perfectly good answer.

The single most important action. Nail this and half the design decides itself.

A word or two of style direction. Tap one or write your own.

calm and warm clean and minimal bright and playful premium and elegant bold and simple

Optional. A few plain lines. Leave blank and we'll keep it lean.

Optional. Tick if you've got colours and fonts to match.

Your prompt's ready

Pop your email in and I'll show it to you, plus how to get 10 bonus Lovable credits to build it with.

Here's your starter prompt

Paste this straight into Lovable. It gets you a proper first version, built the right way. You add the rest after, one change at a time.

How to spend your credits well
  1. Paste this and get the first screen right before anything else.
  2. Then change one thing per instruction. Use the Edit button for small tweaks.
  3. Big vague rewrites eat credits. Small clear changes don't.

Stuck for an idea? I've built a finance tracker, a wellbeing lab, a wardrobe app and the dashboard that runs my content. All things that annoyed me enough to fix. See what I've made →

Now go make it

Here's your link, and the honest truth about credits:

Lovable gives everyone 5 free credits a day. This link drops an extra 10 in to get you going. That'll get a working prototype up. If it's something complex you'll want more before long, but for a simple page it's plenty, and 5 more land every day, so you can start now and build slowly.

Get your 10 bonus credits →

Full transparency: if you ever go paid on Lovable through my link, I get 100 bonus credits. Zero pressure though. The free daily ones are plenty to get you going.
