Kristiansand, Norway - August 28, 2025 – Under the brand name DigTek, a regular guy – with an ordinary technology-related job – used AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor to develop six minimalist apps over 8+ weeks, with all apps already available on the App Store.
The DigTek website summarizes the app development journey:
"Code with purpose. Pixels with meaning. In a sea of digital noise, we choose simplicity."
"I'm not a programmer. I only knew some HTML from the early 2000s, but this summer the goal was to get one app published on the App Store."
— André Berg, founder of DigTek
The result? Six focused, small apps – each with its clear purpose:
DigTek builds according to the philosophy "Less, but better" – it's about doing fewer things, and doing them right. Constraints become strengths, and each app has one clear function.
"Constraint as liberation" – limitations as freedom – is the core behind everything we create.
This journey shows that AI can be a development partner and part of a "creative toolkit," even for those without formal programming education. Proof that good ideas can go from drawing board to reality – in short time and as a solo project.
DigTek joins the ranks of developers demonstrating an approach to app development where AI enables non-programmers to create good, if lightweight, digital solutions. For DigTek, each app is a manifesto that technology should serve people, not the other way around.
