About Heidi Skinner

HI, I'M HEIDI.

I've been running my own businesses for years - but I had never come across such an effective, profitable, fun way to grow my business until I started making apps.

I've been called the "app queen" because I've created more than 100 apps for both my own personal use (meditation, supplements, routines, goals, schedule..), business use (listing and transaction management, marketing campaigns, real estate scripts, business metrics, open houses, model homes...) and for other small business owners (real estate investors, brokerage and team owners, mortgage companies, home inspection, coffee subscription, product catalogs, non-profits...).

I've seen how it's dramatically improved my life and businesses and I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible become app creators, transform their businesses, and have more fun and solve real problems!

Welcome to the party!
