5 apps I use to run my entire business.

how one person runs an entire app business in 2026, 5 apps, no team, no investors everybody's selling courses on this. skip them. here's the actual day-to-day: 1. Claude: my AI sidekick for thinking through ideas and building them with me 2. checkvibe.dev: checks any website for security problems, paste a link, get a report in 30 seconds 3. Notion: my second brain, every plan, idea and to-do in one place 4. Higgsfield: makes my photos, ads and videos with AI, no camera or designer needed 5. Cursor: I describe what I want in plain English and it builds it with me that's it. no 30-app setup, no $500 a month in subscriptions. five apps that each do one thing really well. I think of an idea, build it, put it online, then make it better based on what people actually do. that loop is the whole secret. save this for the next time you're tempted to buy another tool you don't need. follow along, I share every part of building this thing. #saas #indiehacker #aifounder #aitools #vibecode
