Kickstart is a new Mac app by Paul Hudson aimed at indie developers who struggle with the non-coding side of shipping apps. It consolidates App Store listing management, competitor research, pricing, reviews, analytics, marketing, and launch planning into one workspace. The app converts overwhelming tasks into daily actionable steps. A generous free tier is available, with an optional Pro subscription for extended features. All AI features run on-device using Apple's Foundation Models, ensuring full user privacy with no tracking or data uploads.
