How to Join
Applications for the january 5th cohort are now open. Free to apply. We handpick 5 builders — people with sharp ideas and the drive to ship. If accepted, you’ll pay $99/month to confirm your spot. You’ll get onboarding details immediately. A new cohort opens every month.
What happens in the Cohort
You come in with an idea. We spend four weeks turning it into a working ios app. Each week you’ll build, test, and ship new features — fast. By the end, your app is live on the app store and ready for users.
What you need
A mac and an idea. that’s it. We handle setup, sdks, provisioning, and the technical overhead that slows most people down.
Do i need to code?
No. you learn by building. You focus on product decisions, UX, and the actual idea — we take care of engineering execution.
What you leave with
A real, native ios app live on the app store. after launch, you can either: – download your full codebase, or – stay active in x1 for $99/month to keep shipping features and growing the product.
Who joins
People who want to build, ship, and make money — not talk about ideas for months. This batch is capped at 5 builders. once it’s full, it’s full.
Time
8–10 hours a week. more if you’re locked in.
Cost
Free to apply. If accepted, it’s $99/month to join the january 5th cohort.
Demo day
Demo day is where everything goes live. We help you launch in public — linkedin, twitter, yc networks, and more — to get your first real users. It’s your moment to show your app, get traction, and start growing.
