I built an AI app store screenshot generator because Figma made me cry — looking for brutal feedback
Rishab Sharma developed an AI app store screenshot generator called SnapMonk to simplify the process of creating App Store screenshots. Frustrated by existing design tools, he aimed to provide a more accessible solution for developers. Currently, SnapMonk has gained 33 signups and two paid users since its launch five weeks ago.
- ▪SnapMonk allows users to drop in a raw screenshot and automatically generates layouts and taglines using AI.
- ▪The tool offers a free tier with no watermark and a pro version with additional features.
- ▪Rishab is seeking feedback on the editor flow, pricing, and promotion strategies for indie developers.
