Every PM has a list of small annoyances no vendor will ever fix. Mine included a todo list I couldn’t see without switching windows, and browser tab groups where I kept losing the tab I needed.
So I built my own fixes using Claude. A small todo app that lives in the macOS menu bar. A browser extension that lets me manage my tabs in a single browser window. Each took mere minutes with an AI coding tool, and none of them is something I’d ever ship as a product.
That’s the point. A micro-app is software for an audience of one. I’ll show how I scope one (smaller than you think), how I describe it so the AI builds the right thing, and how I check it works before I rely on it.
