The hidden cost
The app is easy.
The plumbing kills you.
Auth, subscriptions, backend state, onboarding, and App Store constraints all need to work together. Here's how long that takes — and how many AI tokens it burns — from scratch:
4–8 hrsNative auth, redirect schemes, token validation
1–2 daysRevenueCat products, paywall state, webhooks
4 hrsOnboarding persistence and profile seeding
3 hrsSupport, feedback, legal links, App Store review demo

Every hard integration,
already working.
ShipHappens is designed to be edited, renamed, and shipped. Production defaults with separate dev controls so you can test every monetization state without faking backend data.
Paywall & subscription state
RevenueCat wired end-to-end. Annual/monthly packages, entitlement sync, restore purchases, and webhook handling already modeled.
Auth that actually works
Native redirect auth, Convex JWT validation, protected functions, server-derived user IDs, and account deletion. Clerk and Logto both supported.
A working app, not a shell
Ships with an authenticated task tracker: ownership checks, free-tier usage limits, and premium bypass. Something real to build from.
Dev simulation controls
Toggle free vs premium, reset onboarding, replay the App Store review demo, and test every monetization state locally in seconds.
The boring stuff done
Legal links, feedback, push-token registration, app-open tracking, analytics identity, EAS env sync, and setup docs already in the codebase.
AI-ready codebase
Give your AI agent a repo
with decisions made.
The fastest AI coding workflow isn't a blank prompt — it's a coherent repo with consistent naming, clear auth boundaries, backend rules, and predictable extension points. Stop burning tokens re-explaining your stack.

Everything you want to
know before you start.
How do I get started?
Clone or fork the public GitHub repo, follow the setup docs, and add your Convex, Clerk, and RevenueCat keys. No payment or invite required.
Is this just a UI kit?
No. The value is the integration work: native auth, Convex data ownership, subscription state, onboarding, paywall flow, analytics, feedback, and release-adjacent tooling. Screens are secondary.
What's the difference between Starter and Pro?
The tiers reflect what used to be paid plans. Everything is now included in the open-source repo — pick whichever card matches how you think about your project.
Which auth provider does it use — Clerk or Logto?
Both are supported. The repo includes integration examples for Clerk and Logto wired into Convex custom JWT auth. You pick the one that fits your stack.
Can I replace other integrations?
Yes. The code is structured around provider boundaries. You can swap pieces, but the included defaults are wired and documented so you can move fast immediately.
Does it include a real example app?
Yes. A task tracker with authenticated ownership, a free open-task limit, and premium entitlement bypass — so you can see every integration working together before you start building.
Ready to ship?

Skip weeks of auth, paywall, and backend plumbing. Stop burning AI tokens on problems you've already solved. Start from a production-ready foundation.
