The Consumer Mobile Hackathon

​Build an app people open every day.

​On November 15, 180 builders take over the YC office to build consumer mobile apps in one day.

​Consumer apps are having a moment again, and AI has collapsed the time it takes to build one. Come build the app you'd actually want on your home screen, ship it to a real phone by dinner, and demo it to founders and a YC partner who've built consumer products used by millions.

​You'll build with Capy, Revyl and Convex, with the Candle team (a YC consumer app with 1M+ users) on the floor all day helping with what makes people come back.

​The winning team gets a YC interview. Breakfast, lunch anddinner are on us.

​What to build

​A consumer app for iOS or Android that someone would want to open again tomorrow. You don't need to ship to the App Store, but it needs to run on a device so you can demo it live.

​Tracks

​We'll have themed tracks with their own prizes, on top of the overall top 3. Tracks and track prizes will be announced at kickoff, so come with ideas, not code.

​Prizes

​1st place: a YC interview, plus an iPhone 18 Pro for every team member

​2nd place: a MacBook Neo for every team member

​3rd place: an Apple Watch for every team member

​Track prizes: announced at kickoff on the day.
