About

Small apps built around real life.

Actually Useful Apps is a small collection of practical tools built by Ilia Kolobov, an AI-assisted app maker based in the Bay Area.

I turn real-life problems into simple apps using AI-assisted development, product thinking, and hands-on testing. My day-to-day work as a handyman keeps me close to practical problems, real workflows, and people who need tools that actually help.

How I build

Start with a real problem.

Remove unnecessary steps.
