A lawyer with no coding background built an app to run his watch collection

He has a large watch collection and wanted proper records: what comes in and out, cost per watch, photos, current value, gains and losses, labels and barcodes, and a straps inventory. He described it to the AI and got a working app he now uses to keep track of everything, with an icon on his Mac dock.

How it works

He describes what he wants
The AI builds the app
He loads the watches in
The app tracks costs, values and straps day to day

Why it’s worth knowing

It is a plain case of a non coder describing a personal record he needed and ending up with a tool he opens every day.
