Process
From idea to public app
Six checkpoints stand between a rough idea and something people can install — the same protocol for every app in the lab.
-
01
Brainstorm
Ideas come from everyday friction, support tickets and gaps competitors leave open — filtered down to what a small team can actually ship in weeks.
-
02
Validate
ASO keyword volume, competitor CPI benchmarks and monetization fit (IAA or subscription) are checked before a single screen is designed.
-
03
Design & prototype
The one core flow is wireframed first. Store icon, screenshots and onboarding are drafted alongside the UI, not bolted on afterward.
-
04
Build
A lean MVP goes together in weeks, with analytics, MMP and ad SDKs wired in from the first build so real signal starts on day one.
-
05
Test
Small-budget UA campaigns on Meta and Google check CPI, retention and early revenue before any wider spend is committed.
-
06
Launch & measure
The app goes public. D0/D1 IAA revenue and retention then decide whether it scales, gets reworked, or gets sunset.
Studio
A small team, a lot of apps.
Runapplab is a lean studio built around one loop: spot a small, real problem, ship the smallest app that solves it, then let the data decide what happens next.
Every app is designed for one job, tested with real ad spend, and kept only if it earns its place in the portfolio.

-
One job per app
Every app solves a single problem well instead of many problems poorly.
-
Ship in weeks, not quarters
Small releases mean faster answers about what's worth building further.
-
Design for the store, not just the demo
Icons, screenshots and onboarding are treated as core product, not marketing afterthoughts.
-
Measure everything, early
Revenue and retention data guide the roadmap from the first week of launch.
