StruxaCheck

Shipping an App Store–approved AI product as a non-engineer

Live on the Apple App Store

Case Study

Executive Summary

StruxaCheck is an App Store–approved iOS application built by a non-engineer using no-code and low-code tools to help users understand Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies before agreeing to them.

The project was designed under strict constraints, including no user accounts, no tracking, and no data retention, to prioritize user trust and platform compliance.

StruxaCheck passed Apple App Store review without changes to core functionality, demonstrating that disciplined scope, governance-aware design, and platform fluency are sufficient to ship production-grade AI products responsibly.

StruxaCheck is a consumer-facing iOS app that helps users understand Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies before agreeing to them.

Built and shipped by a non-engineer using no-code and low-code tools, the app was designed to meet Apple App Store quality, privacy, and compliance standards without relying on a traditional engineering team.

The Real Challenge

The challenge behind StruxaCheck was not “How do we summarize legal documents?”

The real challenge was this:

Can a non-engineer ship a consumer-facing AI product that meets App Store quality, privacy, and compliance standards without a traditional engineering team?

Most AI tools never face this test. They remain demos, internal tools, or web apps that avoid platform scrutiny. Apple’s App Store enforces real constraints around privacy disclosures, data handling, age ratings, and user trust.

StruxaCheck was built to answer that challenge directly.

  • No traditional backend engineering team

  • No custom machine learning infrastructure

  • No user accounts or authentication

Project Constraints and Why They Mattered
This project operated under deliberate constraints from day one:
These constraints were intentional design decisions. They ensured the product remained focused, compliant, and review-ready while minimizing downstream risk.
  • No analytics or advertising SDKs

  • No data retention beyond what was strictly necessary

  • High scrutiny due to AI and legal-related content

The Approach: No-Code, Not No Thinking

Intent-First Design

The product was scoped around a single user action: understanding policies before agreeing to them. Any feature that increased complexity, risk, or review friction was excluded from version one.

Platform-Aware Development

App Store review requirements were treated as product inputs. App Privacy disclosures, age ratings, and reviewer notes were aligned early to avoid rework.

Human Judgment Over Automation Hype

The app positions itself as informational, not authoritative. Risk signals and summaries are framed as decision support rather than legal advice.

Iterative Testing Through TestFlight

The app was tested and refined under real App Store conditions prior to public release.

Governance Built Into Product Design

Privacy and compliance decisions were made at the architecture level: no sign-in, no tracking, and no permanent storage of user-provided text. These choices simplified compliance and strengthened user trust.

What StruxaCheck Does

  • Paste policy text or provide a public URL

  • Select Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy analysis

  • Receive a plain-language summary, a risk signal, and highlighted issues

Analysis completes within seconds. No account is required.

App Store Review Outcome

Reviewed and approved under standard App Store AI and privacy guidelines.
StruxaCheck was approved and released on the Apple App Store without requiring changes to core functionality.
  • AI apps can pass App Store review without excessive data collection

  • No-code tools can support production-grade consumer products

  • Platform compliance can be navigated successfully by non-engineers

The approval validated both the product design and the governance decisions behind it.

Why This Case Study Matters

StruxaCheck is not just a consumer app. It is proof of a broader capability.

In many organizations, the bottleneck is no longer writing code. It is knowing what should be built, what should be avoided, and how to ship responsibly under real constraints.

This project demonstrates that those decisions can be made and executed without a traditional engineering background.

What Was Intentionally Not Built

To reduce risk, complexity, and review friction, the following were intentionally excluded:
  • User accounts or authentication

  • Cloud storage of analyzed documents

  • Behavioral analytics or tracking

  • Advertising or monetization features

  • Claims of legal accuracy or guarantees

  • Automated decision-making without clear human framing

Each exclusion was a product decision, not a technical limitation.

These exclusions were intentional product decisions, not technical limitations.

Tooling Stack (High-Level)

Live App

StruxaCheck is available on iOS.

  • No-code mobile app tooling for iOS deployment

  • Lightweight AI processing services

  • Web tooling for privacy and documentation

  • TestFlight for staged testing under real App Store conditions

The emphasis was responsible orchestration, not custom infrastructure.
