Features of TurboStarter

Unified Cross-Platform Codebase

TurboStarter provides a single, integrated codebase built with Turborepo that seamlessly supports web (Next.js), mobile (Expo React Native), and browser extensions (WXT). This architecture eliminates the silos between platform-specific code, allowing your entire team to work collaboratively on shared business logic, components, and utilities. It ensures consistency across all user touchpoints and dramatically reduces the development overhead of maintaining three separate codebases, enabling true parallel development and faster feature rollout.

Production-Ready Core Integrations

Hit the ground running with a suite of pre-configured, opinionated integrations that form the backbone of any serious SaaS. This includes robust authentication via Better Auth (with email, social logins, and 2FA), flexible billing systems with Stripe and Lemon Squeezy, and a complete multi-tenancy/organizations layer for B2B applications. By providing these complex systems out-of-the-box, your team can bypass months of integration work and security audits, focusing your collective energy on crafting your unique product experience.

AI-Optimized Development Workflow

TurboStarter is engineered to supercharge team productivity with modern AI coding tools. The codebase is structured and documented to be highly compatible with AI editors like Cursor and GitHub Copilot, enabling your team to generate boilerplate, navigate the codebase, and implement features with unprecedented speed. This shared AI-assisted environment accelerates learning for new team members and helps maintain high code quality, allowing the team to prototype and iterate on ideas at a remarkable pace.

Comprehensive Launch Toolkit

Beyond the core app, TurboStarter equips your team with everything needed for a successful public launch. This includes a beautiful, SEO-optimized marketing landing page, built-in internationalization (i18n) to reach a global audience, automated sitemap generation, and one-click deployment workflows. The included CLI tool lets you bootstrap new projects and manage configurations effortlessly, ensuring your entire team—from developers to marketers—is aligned and equipped to deploy and scale with confidence.

Use Cases of TurboStarter

Solo Founders & Indie Makers

For the ambitious solo founder, TurboStarter acts as a force multiplier, providing the capabilities of an entire engineering team. It allows a single developer to build and launch a professional, multi-platform SaaS product without getting bogged down in infrastructure. With 25+ ready-to-launch ideas for inspiration and one-click deployment, a solo maker can validate a business concept, acquire paying customers, and iterate based on feedback—all in record time and with a polished, credible presence.

Startup & Product Teams

Early-stage startup teams can leverage TurboStarter to accelerate their time-to-market and preserve precious capital. It provides a unified, scalable foundation that the entire technical team can collaborate on from day one, preventing fragmentation and technical debt. This allows the team to focus their synergistic efforts on developing their unique IP and user experience, rapidly prototyping different features, and pivoting based on user data without rebuilding core systems from scratch.

Digital Agencies & Dev Shops

Agencies that build custom SaaS solutions for clients can standardize on TurboStarter to deliver higher-quality products faster and more predictably. It provides a reliable, reusable starting point for every new client project, ensuring best practices in security, architecture, and deployment are consistently applied. This improves team efficiency, reduces project risk and timelines, and allows agencies to offer a broader scope—including web, mobile, and browser extensions—within their proposals.

Side Project Validation

For developers and entrepreneurs looking to test a side business idea, TurboStarter dramatically lowers the activation energy required to go from concept to a live, functional product. The pre-built landing page, billing, and auth systems mean you can launch a "minimum viable product" that feels complete and trustworthy to early users. This enables rapid, low-cost validation of market demand, allowing you to gather real user feedback and revenue data before committing to a full-scale buildout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the TurboStarter license?

Your TurboStarter license grants you access to the complete, production-ready source code for the unified monorepo, including the web app (Next.js), mobile app (Expo), and browser extension (WXT) foundations. It also includes all core integrations (auth, billing, teams, admin), the beautiful landing page template, the CLI tool, over 25 SaaS idea starters, and comprehensive documentation. You also receive lifetime updates to the core kit, ensuring your foundation stays current with the latest libraries and security practices.

How does the cross-platform user flow work?

TurboStarter includes a sophisticated "Multi-platform Flow" system. This allows you to seamlessly redirect users between your web app, mobile app, and browser extension using deep linking and secure token handoffs. For example, a user can sign up on your marketing website, be prompted to install your browser extension for enhanced features, and later log into your mobile app—all under a single, unified account. This creates a cohesive ecosystem experience that increases user engagement and retention across all your platforms.

Is TurboStarter suitable for non-technical founders?

While TurboStarter is a code-based product requiring development knowledge to customize and deploy, it is designed to be the most efficient path for technical teams or founders who can partner with a developer. The extensive pre-built functionality and clear documentation significantly reduce the scope, cost, and time required for development. For non-technical founders, it means your hired or co-founding developer can deliver a vastly more complete product in a fraction of the usual time.

Can I use my own providers for services like auth or payments?

Absolutely. While TurboStarter comes pre-integrated with opinionated, best-in-class providers like Better Auth and Stripe, the architecture is designed for flexibility. The code is cleanly structured, making it straightforward for your development team to swap out any service provider for an alternative of your choice (e.g., using Firebase Auth, Paddle, or Supabase). The kit provides a solid, working baseline that your team can adapt to fit your specific technical or business requirements.
