Build Your First App with Claude Code (No Experience Needed)

A habit tracker, running on your own phone, without writing a line of code yourself. That's what we build here, and it's not a beginner shortcut: it's the same workflow I use professionally, with Claude Code, React Native, and Expo.

Everything is in the video, from installing Node.js to your first QR code scan.

What's inside

• Install Claude Code with one curl command and verify with claude -v
• Scaffold the project yourself with npx create-expo-app to save tokens
• Run the app on your phone through Expo Go, no Xcode or Android Studio
• Get comfortable starting and stopping the dev server with npx expo start
• Open the project in VS Code or Cursor and learn the file structure
• Add Expo agent skills with npx skills add expo-skills for better native UI
