# What Hatchik is

Hatchik hosts the websites and apps you build by talking to Claude. You describe
what you want, Claude builds it and publishes it to Hatchik, and Hatchik runs it
on the internet with a web address, a database and a certificate.

You do not manage servers. You do not install anything. Most people never open
the dashboard.

## What you get

**A website** is free. Pages, images, text — anything that does not need to
remember things. Free with no time limit and no card.

**An app** is $29 a month. An app is a website that remembers
things: accounts, bookings, orders, saved records. It comes with its own
Postgres database. Every app starts with a 14-day free trial, and the trial does
not need a card.

Each project is billed on its own. Three websites and one app is $29 a month.

Every project, free or paid, gets:

- a locked draft that you open from your project page, and nobody else can.
  An app's draft is a permanent address, `dev.<name>.hatchik.com`. A free
  website's is a preview link Claude gives you each time it publishes a draft,
  good for 24 hours — there is no `dev.` address for a website. See the
  "Draft and live" page.
- a live site at `<name>.hatchik.com`
- your own web address, if you own one, at no extra cost
- HTTPS, issued and renewed for you
- undo, back through the last 10 versions you published
- a full download of everything, any time

## What Hatchik does not do

**It does not write your app.** Claude does that. Hatchik gives Claude the tools
to publish, look at logs, undo, and set up domains.

**It does not have a support desk.** There is no ticket queue and no engineer on
call for your project. Your AI is the support desk, and it has the same
documentation you are reading.

**It does not hold your work hostage.** You can download every file, your whole
database and your settings whenever you like, and take them somewhere else. The
download includes a plain-English guide to running it elsewhere.

**It does not handle your customers' payments.** If your app takes money, Claude
wires up Stripe or Paddle in your name, and the money goes to you.
