For sure! What I'm wondering is why anyone would pay a subscription for someone else's AI-created app if they can spin one up for themselves with only the parts they want/need. The tools aren't there yet, but within 3-5 years I could see native iOS support for general users to create apps via Siri.

Not external, sorry - I haven't bothered putting it through app review or anything.

Most of those extra features sound like the clutter and cruft that I actively avoid and don’t want in my app. Which is why it’s great that AI can make the app that only has what I want

Simple utility apps like this are definitely going to be under threat by AI-driven app creation. Unsatisfied with the free options out there, I've been using Claude to build my own workout tracker app with nearly the exact same Live Activity functionality in addition to the other features most apps lock up behind IAP subscriptions. Within a week I had the iOS and macOS apps up and running with CloudKit sync, analytics, custom routines, etc. I'd never made an app before, didn't know Swift/SwiftUI, and barely had to use Xcode.
