Looking for an Indian technical co-founder / iOS developer for a simple but weird app

I’m an Indian founder looking for an Indian technical co-founder to build an iOS app with me.

I’m also open to working with someone on a freelance/fixed-fee basis if you’re not looking for a co-founder opportunity.

I’ll be completely transparent: the fixed fee I can offer right now is quite low. I’m not going to lie about that. I’m working with a very tight early-stage budget.

The good part is that the app itself is extremely simple to build.

The idea is also… very weird.
Not technically complicated. Not another AI app. Not a massive social network with 50 features.
Just a very simple product built around a strange idea that could either be ridiculously successful or completely flop.

I genuinely don’t see much middle ground with this one.
It could absolutely blow up and generate serious revenue, or crash completely.

That’s the bet.

I already have the product concept, UI/UX direction, branding and business side figured out. I mainly need someone who can turn the idea into a polished iOS app without over-engineering it.

Looking for someone who:

🇮🇳 Is based in India
Knows Swift / SwiftUI well
Has shipped iOS apps before
Can build quickly
Has good product sense
Doesn’t turn a simple app into a 6-month engineering project
Is interested in either joining as a co-founder or taking on the initial build as a freelancer

I’m intentionally not explaining the idea publicly because the weirdness is kind of the point.

If you’re curious, DM me with:
Your experience
Apps you’ve built
Whether you’d prefer co-founder or freelance
Your expected fee if freelancing
I’ll explain the idea privately.

Looking for Technical Co-Founder (30% Equity) – Anti-Addiction App Almost Built (90%)

Hey,

We’re a group of young founders building a serious consumer app in the digital self-control space focused on helping people break porn addiction and regain focus, discipline, and mental clarity.

The crazy part

We already built around 90 to 95 percent of the MVP

Now we’re at the stage where things get real and we need a technical co-founder, not a freelancer

🧠 What we already have

* Working MVP (almost fully built)

* Core product and flows implemented

* Clear positioning in a high demand problem space

* Founding team already executing full time

* Early validation from user interest

🚧 What’s missing

We need someone who can

* Own final technical polishing and bug fixing

* Help stabilize and scale the product

* Think like a builder, not just a coder

* Help push this from MVP to real product launch

⚡ Why this is interesting

This is not just another app idea

This is a high retention, high demand behavioral problem that

* Millions struggle with

* Has very few truly good solutions

* Has strong virality potential through self improvement and anonymity angle

We are early but moving fast

🛠 Setup note

We are working in a fast execution environment

A modern dev setup (latest Mac or updated stack environment) is preferred to keep development and deployment smooth

This also involves marketing execution alongside product iteration

🤝 What we offer

* 30 percent equity as technical co-founder

* Real ownership, not advisory or freelance

* Early stage startup upside

* Direct influence on product and direction

* Opportunity to build something global in the self improvement space

👀 Who we are looking for

* Strong mobile or full stack developer

* Comfortable with early stage chaos and iteration

* Ideally someone who cares about building meaningful consumer products

* Bonus if experienced with scaling apps or indie hacking

If this resonates, DM me

We will share

* Full product demo

* Tech stack

* Current architecture

* Exact USP and roadmap
