About The 72: Still Not There
An iPhone and iPad game about running 72 cumulative hours along one road, counted by the phone's step counter or, in a finger mode, by holding a finger on the screen; progress slides back when you stop for too long. It is free on the App Store with optional in-app purchases and, per the listing, no ads. The developer says the app was built by a group of AI agents, with Claude breaking down tasks, writing the code and reviewing it while the developer made the decisions. The exact Claude product or model is not named.
